Great food. Found a price of plastic in my crab cake. They replaced it. Should have waived the charge for that instead replacing as we told them we didn’t want another crab cake. I guess making money was important for them

if you’re celebrating a birthday then AVOID this place. I booked this restaurant for 40th birthday 3 weeks in advance and told them it’s for a birthday and they never contacted me to let me know there’s a COVER CHARGE of £5 per person to bring your own cake. This completely ruined our celebration as everyone was very annoyed and there is no mention of this in the booking details either. COMPLETE SCAM -AVOID FOR CELEBRATIONS!!
