   The food, drinks and service were great, only let down was being seated between 2 other couples in very close quarters when there was plenty of seating elsewhere in a mostly empty restaurant - our booking was for 5pm so before the tea time rush, and we had booked over a week in advance. Definitely would’ve enjoyed the experience more if we had slightly more privacy and less noise interference from the other diners

   Staff were great attentive and friendly. Food was ok. I didn’t appreciate the choice of music at 2pm with plenty of children there. Music with lots of violence, swearing and racism. Also seated by the back door which was constantly left open making it very cold.

   Food and service where great. Really enjoyed the burgers and the wings were tasty. Servers were friendly and attentive. Only downside was it was quite cold in the restaurant.

   The food was lovely, the only thing that made it a very odd experience is that, when we asked for cutlery, the waiter brought over 3 cardboard forks and one metal knife, and told us we would have to share it??? Bit weird that he couldn't just bring over 2 more knives. It wasn't THAT busy. Why did we have to share the communal knife around to eat?? 😂😂

   Ordered kids in America burger and awesome HQ and shared phoenix fries and 6 hot 🥵 sauce wings. Burgers were amazing and the chips were much better than expected as they had a maple glaze on them but it didn’t taste sweet , they were amazing ! Staff were very helpful especially Emily who went through all options as we hadn’t been before 👍👍. Food was enough for two and very filling , chips easily enough to share. definitely worth a visit 🍔 🍔👍

    I found my whole experience very disappointing. The the staff were rude, this was a special occasion for myself and young son and I got nothing but miserable bad vibes from the 2 members of staff who served me, The waitress and the man on the front desk. I doubt I will ever return, the place isn’t cheap and I’d prefer to go elsewhere in future where I’m made to feel like we’re actually wanted in the restaurant and not an inconvenience to the staff. I don’t appreciate adding a service charge to the bill either. A service charge for what exactly?! A tip going to staff who made our experience a let down.
