Went here for a Sunday roast on my own here. As soon as the ‘beef roast dinner’ was plonked in front of me, in what I can only describe as a school-like hall with shocking furniture, I instantly felt ill. The ‘beef’ was a cheap bit of steak, leathery, like an old persons skin that had been overexposed to the sun. I couldn’t even cut through it. The gravy must have come out of a packet as it was still powdered when poured over my dinner. The roast potatoes, nothing special. The veg was obviously frozen packet veg, barely even heated in a microwave. And the aunt bessies Yorkshire puddings were really the icing on top of the cake. I didn’t eat a bite of the food and I wouldn’t have paid, but payment is taken when you order. I tried to find a member of staff when leaving to voice my opinion but couldn’t locate anyone anywhere in the building. I would honestly rather go hungry than ever have food served to me in this established again.

With a £10 pizza and pint how could you go wrong!! Terrific rooftop garden which is surprisingly spacey, pizzas are actually very nice considering the price. Staff are friendly. A very well priced place considering everything else in the are is expensive.
