Service was good but the live music was too loud and it was difficult to talk at table, as was trying to catch up with friends.
Most of food very good but only 1 pizza arrived with rest of mains and other took another 15 mins. When it arrived the outside of the dough was still raw. We pointed out to waitress and she apologised and took it back asking if we wanted replacement but that would have been too late. It was taken off bill and they were apologetic but it did spoil a nice evening with friends. Otherwise rest of food good.

Lovely venue and good food. Service was slow. On the Friday evening they had live music which was rather loud thus making it difficult to hold a conversation, I wasn't aware at time of booking.
Overall would recommend.
