The service was very fast with our feeling rushed, the staff were very friendly and definitely on it. The food was amazing and was definitely worth the money! I would most definitely eat here again. The venue was very beautiful and I just want to say the female toilets! I’ve never seen anything like them! As soon as you walk in you’re welcomed with a really nice floral smell and each toilet cubical has its own sink. No complaints at all!

Booked a table for our friends birthday and managed to get a booth. We had a tv right next to us so we could watch the football and the rugby. Ordered some food and the pizzas were amazing. The tacos were rather small considering the price. Waiting staff were great and music was just the right level ⭐️
