Ordered via app, but then starter and main for child turned up with the rest of the meal, and nachos had obviously been left under the heat lamp for everything else. A shame as I’ve really enjoyed past visits. Also it did feel when the staff were cleaning around the ground floor that although there are things that can be done, there are parts of the kitchen or upstairs. Doubt I’ll be back anytime soon unfortunately.

I opted for the “Burger on the Dance Floor” with beef, bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelised onions, gherkins and burger sauce. Overall I’d say it was pretty good, not quite as tasty as it could have been perhaps, and some more topping would have been better, but overall it was a pretty decent effort and served by friendly staff in a reasonable time frame. A desert of Biscoff cheesecake slightly missed the mark I thought, there was nothing really wrong with it, but the Biscoff didn’t seem especially noticeable. Worth a visit though, and if you don’t fancy the long communal benches downstairs, there are also smaller tables upstairs.

Clearly not true as a couple of groups of two and four were seated after me and others were pointed of the direction of the outside tables if they had no reservation. He very clearly didn’t want a solo diner taking up space on a busy early Saturday night. I then watched in horror as he picked up pizzas from the pass and handled them, literally, rather than leaving them on their serving platters. A lucky escape I think.
