    We visited in the summer and had a terrible experience in terms of wait time and the staff, however we decided to return because the food was delicious. It was obviously A LOT quieter considering its winter, and the food arrived promptly. Staff friendly enough but their customer service could be improved. I.e table service and manners. Food tasted nice and not too badly priced.

    Superb service by the guy I presume was the manager and by the young waitress. Instant service, very friendly and polite and food delivered piping hot within 15 minutes. We’ve used WAX and The Phoenix as it was previously for 35 years, tonight’s service was probably the best ever. Top marks all round and thanks for such pleasant and professional service to you both, Cheers from Mick and Carolyn.

    So pleased they have brought back the wax roast wraps they are amazing, taste fantastic, perhaps the potatoes could be a bit more crispy on the outside, that would be my only complaint…. The chicken and beef was cooked to perfection. The gravy was delicious. And the sticky toffee pudding was heaven . Would definitely recommend…. And we will be back soon

    Wax is always great, and last night was no different. Great choice on menu, food is tasty and hot. Desserts were fab as well. The team were having Internet issues which was affecting their EPOS systems.... Just go an buy STARLINK - you will not regret it, and give additional service to your clients :-) Don't go waiting for anything like WildaNET just not worth the drama! hahahaha. Seriously - great beach experience here, and the sunsets are to die for. Thanks Team :-)
