Food was disgusting. Pizza was basically cheesy garlic bread, made with cheap garlic paste. No other taste other than overpowering garlic! House wine was so sweet, it was more like a dessert wine. Had to order a different wine, but of course was charged for both. Bought the pizza on a two for one deal. Had I been paying for the pizza, I would have asked for it to be removed from the bill. I only ate two slices and couldn't eat any more. Pointed out to a member of staff that it was inedible, his response was " isn't pizza supposed to have garlic in it" accompanied by a gormless expression! We will not be returning. Food disgusting, wine awful and service shocking!

6 of us arrived for our Bottomless brunch on Saturday 3rd August. We were told we had only booked the table and nothing else. After being seated the Manager 'Husky' came over and explained that we couldn't have a bottles brunch as there wasn't enough staff and he was expecting 60 people for the Brunch in the next hour. I accepted it wasn't his fault and it wasn't mine but I felt like he didn't even try to compromise. We said we would pay for the Brunch now. He went on to say we wouldn't get the service needed but we said that was okay as we would still be getting our moneys worth. He eventually agreed to this. The service we got from our server, Jordan was next to none. She was very helpful and as quick as could be with the orders. We all felt a bit more compassion and nderstanding could of come from the 'Manager' Definitely not usually one for writing reviews but needed to be done. Jordan definitely made the experience more relaxed!

Was lovely food, we have been here before and the service has been a little more attentive, quite slow at coming for drinks orders, and asked for the bill but I think the waitress forgot so I just ended up going to the bar and paying.
