    Seated quickly, orders taken by cheery waitress. Drinks arrived then food followed within 10mins. Had The Gravy Train chicken burger from menu, would highly recommend this dish. Was freshly cooked and tasted wonderful. Service was great and ambience was good with rock music playing in the background. Would recommend this resteraunt

    Visited after recommendations from friends. It did not disappoint and I now know why my friends made such a fuss. Staff were friendly, attentive and couldn't have been more helpful. Great choices of dishes and very heartening to see so many options for those who have to eat gluten free.

    Turned up and was seated straight away. Our server was with us a day took our order quickly, got our drinks, then the food arrived. I had the Ninja burger and salt ‘n’ chilli chips and it was brilliant. The flavours from the chips to the chips were fantastic. Will definitely be paying another visit, after all there’s so many more burgers to try!

    Food excellent and filling as always. Service, even with restaurant being very busy was very good. Did to festival being on only had table for 1 hour 15 but as arrived a few minutes early ended up nearer to 1 hour 30 which didn't feel as rushed. Highly recommend a visit.
