I placed my order and the tea came almost immediately. Then the bill. Then shortly afterwards the chips came. The portion was SO small for the £4 that I questioned it. And was told that they didn't have complaints about the portion sizes. I explained that I was not happy but they refused to change anything. There were 9 chips presented in a small tumbler on a small plate. 44pence per chip?!. Service charge also Not included. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

We were then told last orders were at 6:45 we knew what were we having before hand and were still told no. Nick was very rude, unprofessional and couldn’t come up with a legitimate reason for not letting us in. Checked online the hours had been updated for Autumn and the signage around the whole restaurant, totally unacceptable was going here this evening and tomorrow for lunch but now will never return.
