There has been a significant improvement since our last visit a few months ago. We are excited to dine here again and are glad we gave the food another try. Kudos to the kitchen staff for a job well done.

In the past, I was hesitant to eat the chicken because it looked grey and undercooked, but now the food has color and is carefully plated. I have visited several times in the last month and each time the food has been delicious. The staff is always friendly and the service is prompt.

We come Fridays for the BOGOF deal on burgers. The food is great and the price is better. Today the service was king, though. Thanks to Jessica W for making it a really great.

The comfortable, spacious and calm environment allowed my partner and I to enjoy a coffee whilst my daughter burned off some energy enjoying egg spoons races, an Easter egg hunt and reading stories with the bunny. A huge thankyou to the team.

I have been to this place a few times before, and while it was never bad, it was never outstanding either. However, this time, all of us couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was. It's clear that some changes have been made behind the scenes.

It was obvious the staff were stretched but that didn't spoil the service. Despite it being busy we weren't waiting too long and the food was hot and very tasty. Will definitely go back.

They ticked all my boxes especially speed of service, quantiity quality of food, and excellent prices. I would recommend them.

There was only two staff on front of house and they were both very friendly and helpful despite them both being extremely busy. Alex was our waiter, table clearer and bar tender. He was working his socks off all with a smile. Thank you to you both.

Our three grandchildren enjoyed the meal, but next time I will request a table farther away from noisy children. We will definitely return. Thank you to everyone!

Last month, we visited twice and noticed a significant improvement. The manager, Rob, is fantastic and goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. We'll definitely be back soon. The food is excellent, reasonably priced, and the service is friendly.

However, the entrance from the parking lot was extremely dirty with cigarette butts and litter, which was off-putting. Despite this, we still went inside, only to find that the interior was also dirty - tables were not cleaned, the carpet looked filthy, and there was toilet paper all over the bathroom floor. The place appeared worn out and neglected. Due to our disappointing experience during our last visit, we have decided not to return.

We didn't have a reservation, but the welcoming staff were able to find us a table easily. The menu had a good variety of options, from more elaborate dishes to simpler choices for the kids. The prices were reasonable, which is probably why the restaurant was full of families with young children. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the friendly atmosphere, but as an older couple without kids, we probably wouldn't choose to eat here alone. However, if you have a young family, it's definitely worth a visit.

It is best to avoid ordering the ribs as they are no longer as enjoyable as they used to be; they often seem to be mostly fat now.
