Lovely restaurant with nice and friendly staff. Food is very good value for money. Didn’t find the pasta dish overly good but the pizzas were very nice and tasty. Not the first time dining here and would return again.

Having not realised anchovies are part of a standard Cesar salad, I was surprised by these additions. Had I known, I would’ve ordered something else. Left half the food as everything was covered in anchovies oil. Would’ve been absolutely lovely if I loved fish lol

Experience wasn’t great when lift was out of order to cater for a disabled, elderly, grandmother. No other way for a disabled person to use this restaurant due to the only facility being out of order (and a large tv and box sitting at the bottom of it, viewed when going to the accessible toilets). Food experience, servers were great and helped to ensure our dinner was to our satisfaction. Starters were okay. The starters were either sauce or spice related to being okay and not something we’d order again. But that is taste wise for us and probably not the chef and the menu. Mains were good and warm to eat, alongside a nice side order. Drinks were good and asked if we wanted more or any accompanying items throughout. Overall, I believe the service was good, the food okay, ambience was fine. Not busy for a Tuesday. Thank you.

Wouldn't plan on coming back here in a hurry. Over an hour wait after being served for starters to arrive. A further excessive wait for mains. Raised the issue of the length of time waiting but was dismissed and advised a function was on resulting in increased wait times. Having booked on the phone would have hoped this would have been raised if it was overbooked for the evening and resulted in a less than adequate service. On a positive note, staff serving us was friendly and welcoming.

Excellent service and food. If I had a fault, it would be that the portions were too large for us.
