High quality food and great service. great time had

Before I start the review of this restaurant, I have to mention the diabolical parking situation here. There are three establishments on the campus, not enough parking, and add to the mix the takeaway service provided by at least two of the establishments, the fact that last night there were families celebrating Confirmations, schoolkids celebrating a successful sports day … it’s enough to make your eyes water, and that was before munching into a meal with chillies!! If you can get someone to drop you here that is the best option. I was lucky enough to get a parking space. We had booked in advance, so no problem there, we were brought directly to our table. A bowl of prawn crackers was left for us to nibble on as we read through the menu. I took the opportunity during this time to look around – hadn’t been here in a few years and it honestly needs a lot of TLC. It’s tired and drab looking. The menu is varied and interesting though and we all chose different starters, mains and desserts. Service was good, but one thing I didn’t like was that a male server pulled his mask down under his chin as soon as he walked away from our table. I saw him do this all evening, regardless of what table he was serving. The blue mask didn’t look very clean, nor could it be, as he was continually handling it and touching it an absolute no-no! This needs to be addressed by management. The other servers wore their masks for the entire evening. The restaurant was quite busy and the atmosphere was lively. Food is really good and the portions generous. We reckon we got very good value too. We will be back but it would be nice to see this place given a makeover.

Lovely food. The early bird is great value. Monday to Thursday.

Had a sit down meal here recently. Staff were friendly, food was tasty and the early bird special was great. Drinks a little on the pricey side but I guess they have bills to pay.
