Absolutely first class. We will make a point of coming here again. Staff are really friendly and the food on offer is mind blowing. We had steak mushroom onion baguettes. To say that they were great value for money at £5.50 each is an understatement. Can’t wait to try some of the other food on offer soon. Definitely worth a visit. 10 out of 10.

The burgers are delicious. Mind you everything is. A good menu with plenty to choose from. The staff are great. A friendly bunch of people, and always very accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I can see why this place is so busy. I will be back next week...
