A bad day burger was greasy and not tasty. Hopefully a one off.

Such a wonderful place with a superb atmosphere. The food was outstanding and I would say it was fairly priced. There were tips immediately added to the bill which I’m not a huge fan of, as I like to tip what I feel is right.. on this occasion the tip was probably less than I would have. It’s a quirky little place with what looks like lots of fun activities and evenings available. The comedy nights look great and I will definitely be visiting. The only downside of the evening would be the wait in between getting the wings in, but this did mean that the wings were always piping hot and incredibly delicious!!! The hot honey were SPICY!!!!!! And delicious.. my favourite flavour was probably the buffalo wings, and the person I went with preferred the lemon pepper wings. But they were all delicious.

Chicken burgers were very tasty, we also ordered dirty fries but weren't told we could upgrade our fries with the burger to dirty fries so ended up with loads of fries. It was very quiet when we first went in on a Thursday night so thought what was the point in booking. A few other tables came in just before we left but it wasn’t anywhere near full. No wings available at all either as all sold out probably from the Wings Wednesday night. Enjoyed the food.

Food and drink was excellent, the staff were excellent especially when we requested to move to a different table only because we had a group next to us who were a bit lively but eventually settled down after we had moved but overall it was a good night.
