great space for lunch on the outside of Chaddy shopping centre, easy parking across the road. Great friendly staff and really nice ambiance to the restaurant. Food was amazing and different, maybe just a few favorites could be added, but it was a lovely lunch time spent, thanks to all the staff who even thru the Chaddy blackout kept us well informed and smiling throughout.
