Quick lunch before cinema so light bites menu was perfect. Mac&Cheese very tasty with lovely crispy garlic bread. Staff in here are very friendly and helpful.

We have been coming here since last year , almost every weekend . No need to book as we are just a couple and can always accommodate us . Love it here , food is always fresh and service always good . For the price you pay for the portions you get is unbeatable ! Can never make this at home at this price ! We love this place and will keep coming back . Thank you !!!

The food is alright next door. But the soft play wacky is alfull. It's a last resort with a free pass. No food or hot drinks on sale. Yet was told off for eating abit of my sandwich as I was starving. No outside food but no food for sale either. Terrible service yet again. We had one of the worst incidents about 5 years ago me my mother the missis and my nephew. Me and my mother sat under the cargo net by the small ball pit and felt dripping on us to then realised a baby of around 2 had burst her nappy. Another lady was having a go at the staff for not closing the place sooner as her sun around 8 years old was all about n white with poo all down him as it was all down the slide. My missis come back and she to had poo all down her pants and so did my nephew. Yet they were still letting kids play in it. truly terrible place. But if it free and a last resort.

Went to Wacky Warehouse. Rebecca a staff member there was very considerate in making sure all our needs were met. A very friendly and helpful service and she fixed any issues we had straight away.

My worst experience at a Greene King pub. Firstly the server tried to seat us right next to a noisy family group when there were plenty of empty tables available. At the bar the same server was pleasant, but clueless about drinks, a still mineral water and large Sauvignon Blanc. He initially offered me tap water and had no idea what SB was, so had to call a colleague to help. Unfortunately there was no SB so I opted for Pinot Grigot, but he didn't know what that was either. We ordered lasagne and grilled halloumi salad, both of which were awful. My friend ate most of her lasagne as she was hungry, but left the side salad which was only fit for the bin. My 3 meagre pieces of halloumi had barely seen the grill and were hidden amongst nearly a whole head of lettuce leaves, smothered in a disgusting brown dressing masquerading as French Dressing. We ordered dessert as we were still hungry - the chocolate fudge cake came in generous portions, but tasted strongly of baking powder. The next morning my friend suffered with terrible indigestion and had to pull out of her bestie's 60th birthday celebrations. I felt well enough to attend, but had to make a dash for the loo at a petrol station. In summary, avoid this place like the plague even if you're starving. Get yourself a Meal Deal at Tescos across the road and earn yourself Clubcard points, too.

Fantastic service and lovely food. Would like to mention Matt who was very helpful and even took a photo of our family all together. Will definitely return

Tried visiting here on a Sunday evening at 9.30 for a Pint of Guinness as I was staying at the Travelodge next door. The Opening Times on the Sign Outside said 10.30pm on a Sunday, and 11pm on their Website, so I assumed I'd be fine for a pint at 9.30pm. I was told that they had stopped serving as they had to have everyone out by 10pm, by orders of 'Head Office'. Shocking Service in here!

When you read bad reviews and don't believe it - please do! Went there today with my kid to check for myself. I don't recommend it. Menu cards old, dirty and outdated. Stuff is very very slow, but friendly. Some looking at you avoid serving, some running around confused, some clearing the tables, which is all good, but not when people are queuing behind you and you just smiling impatiently as it takes about 15 min to get a drink to the point when you just want to walk out without paying. Very understuffed! Toilets are extremely dirty and smelly with no soap and tissue in.Food arrived ok. Tasted better. We both had some chips and peas. Chicken was ok. Ice cream sundae was lovely and arrived fast. Won't be hurrying back!
