We all had different dishes and everyone was fantastic. Nachos,chicken , steaks, spicy chicken wings. There is so much choice and it’s all lovely. The portions are huge. If there was one negative the service is pretty poor for getting a drink. read less

My daughter received a complimentary mocktail and the food was to die for!! Then they brought her cake out and made a fuss of her! There was live music which topped the night off! Thanks guys! read less

All the tables are packed in rather tight but there was lots of space in the middle. It doesn't have the same relaxed vibe either. The food was lovely even though my burger wasn't very hot the first time round this was quickly rectified and I couldn't fault the way it was dealt with. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive. Overall a nice visit but not sure if I'd go back purely because it seems to be lacking something since the move. read less

Loads of veg, Yorkshire Pud, Cauliflower cheese, Turkey, Gammon and Beef Brisket. Gravy to die for. Huge portion, which I didn't think I would eat, but it was so tasty I had to finish it. Highly recommend. The waiter was lovely as well.
Will definitely be going back. read less

My partner and I are vegan so we had the buttered mushrooms, a vegan burger and the rocky road brownie for dessert. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. We went to their new location and the interior was clean, warm and inviting. We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated immediately. My only negative was the discretionary service charge. I hate paying for service and while I realise it’s optional it’s frustrating to have to ask to have it removed and I prefer to tip my waiter or waitress directly. Which is why I removed one star on my rating. read less

Huge portions of tasty, fresh food. Lots of choice from burgers, to meats, mac n cheese, vegan options and the best halloumi fries I’ve ever had! Delicious.
The cocktail menu is extensive, with something for everyone and with most at 2 for £15 they were great value too. I totally recommend the zombie!
The atmosphere is great with amazing, friendly staff who are so helpful. Our server Becky was so enthusiastic it made our night!
I’ve wanted to come here for ages and I’m so glad I did. It won’t be long before I’m back. I thoroughly recommend you try it, you won’t be disappointed. read less

It’s not my usual style of dining and had I not been invited by my twenty something son, its probably not the sort of place I would have ended up in. That said, I’m glad I went. The style of the place is ‘basic. Don’t look for plush seating or a quiet atmosphere, you’ll not find either. But what you will find is a noisy bustling and enjoyable evening with some excellent food.
The service by all staff is very friendly and efficient. It’s a big place with lots of covers and although they work with speed, you’ll still feel like you’re the only diner.
The food is very, very good. We all know how the modern restaurant works these days, bulk bought semi prepared and maybe partly cooked food, simply refreshed, re-heated and served. I didn’t get that impression here. I had brisket cuts for starters and very tasty and moist they were. Delicious. The burger was a real burger, not a paper packed, boxed then defrosted one delivered in a lorry. Although the size of it, it should have been delivered by a lorry. Real beef taste and well cooked.
Overall, a great place for a group to go out and have a great evening with some very good food, served well and by friendly staff. read less

Being the husbands birthday treat they gave a free cocktail 😘 perfect touch.
I could quite happily work my way through your cocktail menu and watch the bar staff who I find amazing to watch! That alone makes my visit! Stunning food, cocktails and staff. Oh the live music another perfect touch. I love it here! ❤️ read less

We were both famished. It was a Friday night and we didn’t book. We arrived at 2030 and was told no tables available till 2130. We decided to have a have a couple of drinks. We did see quite a few free table but didn’t mind waiting.
When we ordered the food our eyes were definitely excited. We ordered boneless wings each to start and burgers for mains.
The wings were so amazing and there were loads (but we did order large). Embarrassingly we had to ask for our mains to be wrapped up as we were painfully full. Took a stroll home as we don’t live far and tucked into the burger. FANTASTIC. little bit rare in the middle which is perfection for me. I was sad I couldn’t finish it because it tasted so good. It will be my breakfast burger tomorrow. Don’t judge me.
As for the new venue..... I can see why it’s a good business move. More foot traffic, turn into a club etc but I preferred the old spot as it was more restauranty. Service was very pleasant as it’s always been. I will be returning as the food is amazing. I will probably be using the delivery service more. Would have been 5/5 but I really did like the old location.
Top marks to the chef though read less
