    The best steak I've ever had. And, I've eaten Wagu Steak in 6 star hotels in the Middle East. This place does the best food. The Fillet PilPil is my recommendation but you have to like chilli. 😁

    When we arrived, we welcome off. The staff showed to our table where we sat down, looked at the menu, picked our food. Our drinks brought to us what we asked for and what value for money thank you very much again.

    We sat outside in the ‘hut’ as we had our dog with us, and it was a very sunny day. Seating was all high benches or high bar stool type chairs, which was a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the food and service were great. Will go back again and leave Teddy snoozing at home. Inside looked lovely.

    Ordered fish and chips the fish was still frozen, Didn’t reorder because it put me off they took the price of the bill When a waitress was cleaning tables she wiped the leftover food on the floor and people would then tread in it which doesn’t look very good Will not be returning

    Had a very nice meal for four people. Food was very good 👍 Priced reasonably and very large portions. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Have been several times and it never fails to impress. Our first choice for a meal out.
