    It was a lovely warm evening and the serving girls offered to move a table outside for us. That put the dot on the "i" for an evening with excellent food, service and value. There was a buzz with many people taking advantage of the burger night and early bird options.

    We booked brunch for Pride and it was an excellent choice! Very busy and buzzy, high quality food. The duck wings are sublime, we got a portion to split between 3 of us with croquettes, a perfect starter. I got the tacos for main, which were excellent, especially the pork one. Good cocktail and wine selection, I didn't do the bottomless option but the other 2 did. Special shout out to Holly, who took great care of us!
