The service was a bit slow, but understandable as the restaurant was really busy. The food was delicious, not greasy, and free from artificial dyes. The flavors were fantastic and the portion sizes were good. We would recommend this place and will definitely be back with other family members.

The booking was for 5.30pm on a Sunday, thinking that we would have some dinner and get back home around 7.30pm, on time for our baby’s bath time. How wrong we were! We waited for our food for 1 hour and 50 minutes! (Yes. Nearly 2 hours!!! When I went to ask why it was taking so long, (considering that there were maybe 5-6 tables with people in the whole restaurant the waitress behind the bar said that they were very busy with all their takeaway orders. Well, that was terrible customer service. So if you turn up to have a sit in meal, you come second! Takeaway orders have priority! Well, it doesn’t say this anywhere! I am not keen to return.

Mixed bag of service and food quality but we thought we would give another chance...... 1 hour 30 mins to arrive (initially informed 40 minutes) with 2 calls to chase, assured after each call it was a couple of mins away (just not true). When it arrived, food was luke warm and the lamb was so tough and overcooked that it could not be eaten. Not a fan of receiving pass-off comments of it 's 2 minutes away when it 's simply not true. So, in summary, similar experience to previous visits.
