    I do love this venue. It is always very lively, the staff are lovely and helpful. The food is nice, but the last two times I went, they had Indian food, which was very spicy for my taste. It would be nice to have a non-spicy option, as not everyone enjoys spicy food. Also, I know they have brought Coke Zero to the venue, but I haven't been able to get one yet; it always runs out. Apart from that, you have a huge selection of beers, and they also sell San Pellegrino limonata. All in all, it is a lovely place with a nice atmosphere to enjoy a few drinks and watch sports 💜💜

    Great place to watch live football, Tom who was behind the bar was very happy to talk all things football whilst we waited for our game to kick off, beers were priced fairly for the area and the selection was decent too. Food looked great however we didn’t eat so only gave it 4 stars based on how others looked and smelled! We’ll definitely be back!

    Server seemed really stressed out and was snappy with their responses. Hopefully just a bad day and not the norm.

    Everything was very pleasant! Staff informed us that they were going to wait until the previous game finished before switching over and showed where we could watch as to not miss kick off which was super helpful. Burger was very salty but still tasty. Very generous with the fries too. Overall I really enjoyed my experience.
