    The staff here are always lovely! I wonder if there’d been a change of management or chef tho as the food wasn’t as good as usual. Wings still good but seemed like a smaller portion, dirty nachos definitely smaller with about three chopped fresh chillis and I was told ‘we don’t do that anymore’ when I asked for a finger bowl which seemed odd. I hope they reconsider these changes as I’d think twice before booking now.

    Food arrived within 4 mins I thought that was way too fast the chips were cold and greasy the burger bap was also stone cold the tomato inside it was way to thick .The plate the food came on also too cold. I called over the waiter and told him off my concerns he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away never to be seen again. Almost 19 euros per burger is a lot of money to pay so you would like to think they would put some time into getting it right .sadly they did not

    99% of my visits are to eat some chicken wings and Toffee pudding. Unfortunately this time, the chicken came raw and a bit cold. Not many wings on it, although the sauce was good as usual. The pudding was super dry and tasteless. (Definitely not from the same day) Service was outstanding, even offering some free drinks on the house.
