"--- First of all, this is the best place I’ve been to with my best friend. For some reason, we often find ourselves at restaurants where the quality of food doesn't match the price, but that was not the case here. I’ll break my review down into sections, starting with the quality of the food. **Quality of Food:** I couldn’t fault it at all. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we both agreed on that. The fish and burger were particularly memorable; neither of them left us feeling sluggish or unwell because they were cooked to perfection. They had a homemade feel and were healthy yet filling—way better than a greasy fish and chips joint or a typical burger place. Everything was served hot and met very high standards. For starters, we shared some garlic bread, which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. It was a generous portion for two, and it came with a sharp knife, allowing us to cut it into eight pieces—four satisfying pieces each. For dessert, they had some great options, like honeycomb milkshakes and other unique offerings that you don’t often see, but sadly, they ran out of what my friend wanted. We ended up going for the classic vanilla milkshake and fudge cake, which I can confidently say was amazing. It was the best dessert I’ve had in a long time! It was so creamy, and the vanilla ice cream was anything but boring; it tasted exactly like proper vanilla should. **Price of Food:** We were pleasantly surprised when our bill came to just £37, especially considering the generous portions we received. It was absolutely worth the price. Just a note about leaving tips: if you want to tip by card, you need to ask the staff to add it into the card machine because they have to input the amount manually. **Staff:** The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Even the bartenders noticed my friend’s shopping bag and kindly found a plastic bag for them. **Service:** The service was prompt, and if we needed more time before ordering dessert, they happily accommodated us. Since we visited on a Monday, it wasn’t too busy, which meant we could enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace. **Variety of Menu:** They offered an extensive menu with so many options. Even as someone who can be quite picky, I found plenty of choices to satisfy my cravings. There wasn’t a huge variety of desserts, but the options they had were excellent. **Cleanliness:** Everywhere seemed immaculate, including the cutlery. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"This does not even deserve one star. My sister ordered a takeaway for 4 of us today. The order was chicken chowmein, chicken fried rice, 2 salt and pepper chips and curry sauce. On arrival the chow mein noodles were plain and dry (like a super noodles) the sauce was in a separate container, the chicken fried rice was dry and tasteless. We called regarding the chow mein and were told we have to mix it together ourselves, the chicken in the sauce was undercooked. We explained this to the woman on the phone (elaine) she was making excuses but stated she would refund the chow mein dish as it was of poor quality. She then preceded to obtain account details and called back twice to confirm the details. Shortly after she called back a third time, stating she was not going to give a refund as her manager had refused this. She refused to acknowledge that she had originally agreed to a refund, when we explained this was not professional, she was disrespectful and rude and preceded to raise her voice saying they were a 5 star establishment and didn't care what we thought. Everything else aside the chicken was undercooked!! We could not eat most of the food as it was not cooked properly and tasteless. The chips and curry sauce were fine. The customer service was the worst I have ever experienced. Disgusting and totally unprofessional. You can't acknowledge something, agree to refund a dish then take it back. Will never ever go back here again. The money was not even the issue here, it was the unprofessional and rude customer service. Dietary restrictions: Undercooked chicken, it's a no from me."
