    A fantastic location for a catch up. The staff were lovely, however, the food was nothing special.

    Terrible. Sign said “wait to be seated” nobody came so we entered and stood inside for some time before being told sit anywhere. Nobody brought menus so I got them myself. Staff were not overly friendly, just doing their thing and taking their time. Food took an average amount of time to come out. The chicken burger was dreadful. More thick chunks of batter than chicken and drenched in oil, as were the chips. The ratio of aioli was far too much for the other ingredients. We left unsatisfied and in need of something fresh to remove the oil residue. Very disappointed and would not return.

    The cashier couldn’t even make eye contact when ordering, like we were an inconvenience. My souvlaki was average, the meat was overcooked. My husband had the burger, rated5/10 no taste. Most likely not to return.

    Lovely environment to eat with sunny outdoor tables, and park across the road. Food was well portioned and properly prepared, coffee also well executed. Service was average - one offering of table water only despite sitting in the sun. Told to notify them when bringing pets (fair enough) but no option to do this or add notes via online booking app, only dietary requirements. Overall a good eating and coffee experience and value for money, but service let them down.

    Everything worked like clockwork. Our table was ready for us. We ordered via the QR code. Our drinks came within 7-8 mins. The food was not far behind. Everything perfectly done. I can’t complain about anything. Really well done especially as the place was busy given it was Father’s Day. Thank you
