We came last friday night before a cinema trip, as we havent been in a while and thought we would treat ourselves. We were seated quickly even tho they were quite bust and had plenty of booking coming in. We ordered a cocktail and coke to start and these came quick. We then ordered meals, a cajun chicken wrap, steak medium rare and a garlic bread pizza. This is when it went down hill a little. I was facing the kitchen and watched as the wrap was placed under the lights and was left and left and left a little longer. Then the steak was placed there and was again left, for about 10 mins in total, they were waiting for the garlic bread. They brought the food out with out the garlic bread but unfortunately I had to send the wrap back as it was freezing cold, like I expected. The steak was ok tho and then the garlic bread turned up before the new wrap did. When the wrap did come back it was amazing, boiling hot perfectly cooked, just beautiful. Worth the wait I suppose but would have liked to have it the first time. We enjoyed our meals and asked for the bill, we were happy to see they had taken the wrap off the bill and an extra discount too. We didnt expect that at all and it was lovely customer service. We will be back mistakes happen and they rectified it and more.

Just popped in after the cinema as it looked reasonably quiet.We were seated straight away a very chatty lad called Jed was really helpful and made us laugh! He said he was new but he got on with the job well. Our ribs and chicken dishes were lovely and then we were tempted by a pudding to share. The staff were all nice and sang the birthday songs - itâs crazy but fun for all ages I suppose it may get busy but we had a nice tea.I liked the brownie dessert very much.Would return

We've eaten here several times now including Sunday lunch and Valentine's Day and can't fault anything. The food is delicious and you can tell it's all homemade and the owners and staff are really friendly and can't do enough to help. We like the place so much that we held my daughters 21st here and the entire night was amazing. There was a fantastic spread and a DJ on and everyone had a brilliant time. I would recommend giving this place a try.
