The food is enjoyable, but nothing special. The burger wasn't offered medium rare, but was by no means dry. Unfortunately there is nothing that makes this place stand out from my first visit. I've heard good things about the roast, but that'll be another time I suspect.
Cool and Calming atmosphere for Drinks/Coffee 🍹☕ and Food is really great by all accounts.
Sunday Lunch meant to be immense 🥔🥕🥬🥩 with a great Burger too 🍔
Staff are very welcoming indeed!!
Walked in for food this afternoon with my family and stood waiting to be seated (there’s a sign). The two women working studiously ignored us, walking past us multiple times, until we cracked and left. We were within food serving times. They could have told us they’d be with us soon or that the kitchen was closed. Instead they were incredibly rude.
The first time (some months ago) we did get seats but found out 15mins in that they weren’t serving food, again within advertised kitchen hours.
We had the truffle fries, garlic & mozzarella flatbread, leek & cheese croquettes and the Xmas mac 'n" cheese.
The mac n cheese is by far the worst I've ever tasted, I didn't even make it through 10% of the dish and I am an absolute cheese and carb fiend. The entire dish tasted like old dish water.
The croquettes were an embarrassment, I've had better from a freezer in aldi, although the panko coating was okay if you didn't get any of the filling on the underside of it.
The flatbread I managed to finish, with the help of many mayonnaise sachets, but without them it just tasted like oil
Bad texture, no flavour.
The chips started out okay, with some slightly crispy ones on top, then rapidly became worse after 3 minutes of being served. They were way too cold coming out of the kitchen to survive any table time. A bowl of soggy chips was not what I fancied.
The price of the food seemed okay, but then we tasted it. Bringing the value plummeting down. We left 70% of our food. A huge disappointment and a clear waste of time and money.
With the food out of the way, I would like to mention that there was no greeting, even when I approached the bar and stood right in front of the waitress. I had to interrupt her doing nothing to ask how we go about ordering and seating.
Then what brought the review from 2 to 1 star was listening to the kitchen staff swearing clearly in earshot of the guests.
Overall, a pathetic place to eat. The only recommendation I can make is that you avoid this place. I cannot find a redeeming factor anywhere in my visit.
