Ended up getting quite sick off the food (ended up being the only thing we ate that day as we ere both sick and glued to the toilet)
Food wasn't that tasty that even the couple sitting beside us mentioned that it didn't taste as good as it looked.
Staff were too busy dealing with nuisance customers (however that felt with them very professionally) to even be able to complain about the food so we ended up leaving.

Lovely staff and fun pub vibe. My squid was well cooked but salad was swimming in dressing. Our pizza looked great but tasteless, wet, soggy and cold. Rather disappointing. Range of beers was limited.
