Went as a party of 8 to celebrate a birthday.The place was heaving when we arrived probably with people taking advantage of the specials before the SAFC home game.Food was good value only £3.95 for special menu (served til 5pm on a Saturday) and drinks are reasonably priced also.Staff were attentive and friendly Been there a few times and will be back again.Recommended View all feedback.
