What Customers Say
Absolutely amazing service and the food 5* Hannah was the best. Bottomless brunch was one of the best I've ever had.
Busy and popular on a Friday night compared to other venues, good atmosphere and large covered outdoor seating. Ordered burgers with our beers, which were generous, hot and swiftly made. Very good value for money! Not so many beers on tap to choose from, but excellent service from engaging staff. Worth seeking out in this courtyard off the high street.
Had the best night for friends birthday on Friday. Singer on followed by DJ. Not stop dancing & drinking. Cheers to Bonnie & the ladsđź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť
