Absolutely dreadful waste of time and money.Visited on Easter BH Saturday so I expect it to be busy but a 17 minute wait at the bar for two beers is a joke. Staff all working hard but terrible system of priority between bar and tables.Food was a 40 minute wait and the quality of the burger beef was disgusting. I wouldn’t even feed it to a dog.Nice outdoor seating area, good selection of beers and other drinks, very dog friendly.

Really nice food in this place with nice vegetarian options. The beers are really nice aswell. Nice and busy environment. I advice you to book a table in advance.Vegetarian options: There is a mushroom Burger and a falafel burguer and also some vegetarian pizza options.

My pregnant wife and I were eagerly anticipating our visit to this restaurant, especially since it was Easter weekend. We understood it would be busy, but after waiting to be seated for a lengthy time, our excitement turned into disappointment. Additionally, we discovered that online reservations were only available for groups of six or more. Despite patiently waiting, it felt as though we were being overlooked. While we acknowledge the busyness of the restaurant, a simple ‘sorry guys we’ll be with you as soon as we can’ would have been appreciated. Instead, when my wife approached a staff member at the bar, she was met with a negative attitude, likely due to the staff being under pressure. Regrettably, our interactions with other staff members yielded similar rude attitudes. As we noticed other customers leaving upon realising the lengthy wait, we decided to try Dodd’s Restaurant nearby, where we were pleasantly surprised by the stark difference in service quality.

Eaten here twice now and the Neapolitan pizza is just about the best I’ve ever had. Sweet potato fries with goats cheese and honey are great too. The great service tops it off. Highly recommend. Would book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Mixed feelings about this venue. Initially, we only wanted drinks, and as a result we felt largely ignored. Once we grabbed some menus, we suddenly became visible & the service was markedly improved. The food was very tasty & the beer I had (Jute) was really good, if a bit pricey. My other half struggled to find something to drink, feeling that what was available was a bit limited.

Absolutely love this place. We have been a few times now, the food is always amazing. Staff are so nice, the place is always clean and the food is to die for. Really recommend anyone in the area trying

Great Spot. Attentive staff, competitive prices. Fantastic Pizza. Florin, Staff member, on his 3rd day was on Pizza making. Really helpful, wanted some additional toppings, nothing too much trouble. Delightful food. Would recommend and go again.

Mostly good service. Got our group of 9 seated straight away which we were happy with. We all ordered mains and sides. Some of the food arrived late or didn't arrive at all but was then on the bill even after we mentioned it. The food was nice but a few of the pizzas were burnt underneath. We know sometimes with wood fired pizzas there can be some parts that are naturally over done, but this was burnt to the point of leaving an unpleasant taste. I mentioned this to the waiter when asked if everything was okay and I was ignored. There was no garlic dip available but we were still charged for all dips. Overall was okay but could be so much better for the quite expensive price we paid. At least an acknowledgement of the errors would have helped.

Just called in for drinks. Nice, modern place with decent beers. I would imagine it can get quite lively at night.
