I didn’t know what raw black pudding tasted like until today. Unsurprisingly it’s not great. Unfortunately when it’s eaten raw it’s quite clear how “past its best” the food is. As we live right next to this place I’ve given this restaurant so many chances since it opened but it always seems like the staff are struggling to cope and the quality of the food is honestly really poor. From day one we’ve repeatedly whole meals refunded at the insistence of embarrassed staff for insanely long wait times and I can’t believe it’s still consistently this poor years on. No attempt to even comp the raw meal I was served and we had to wait for ages to even get the cheque. The initial service we received for drinks was great but the sections are completely understaffed. I’ve worked in management as a chef for over a decade and if raw food is being missed on service then there’s systemic issues in the kitchen and this is the tip of the iceberg. Yum.

Really great atmosphere with great guitarists and friendly staff. Really tasty vegan food such as the loaded hummus, curry and pasta Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Fabulous lunch here with friends this afternoon. I had the stacked thighs which were absolutely delicious, piping hot and melted in your mouth! Friends enjoyed their chicken sandwiches and hubby had the burger! Great choices of food, friendly customer service and overall a fab experience! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

Unfortunately we where put on an awful table tucked into a corner...loads of free tables around ..also we where put right next to a rude couple who where constantly snogging each others faces off .. embarrassing...no cutlery when the food was presented to us so my wife wandered off to sort out the situation..when the table next to us was eventually vacated for the remainder of our meal we had to look at a blue kitchen roll and a bottle of cleaner ...not a particularly pleasent way to spend a Sunday evening.
