    Last night was the first time that I have been to the restaurant. Really unusual setting on an industrial estate and was pleasantly impressed by the cleanliness of the carpark. The reception had 2 ladies that were friendly and told us that the restaurant was upstairs. Everything was a real surprise as was the size of the restaurant and the incredible terrace that had comfy chairs and tables. It actually felt like I was on holiday. The menu was basic but there was obviously a competent chef’s in the kitchen as the chicken tenders to start with were delicious as were the prawns. My friend and I had the burgers. They were really good and great fries. I had the panna cotta for dessert and it was the best I’ve ever had! Good value and excellent service, I will definitely return. The only issue was the loud music which made it difficult to talk at the table which I was told is on a Friday and Saturday night.
