"To me this food seemed very authentic. Well I haven't been to Brazil but the food I ordered was very different to normal dishes that it felt it was an authentic version rather than a watered down British equivalent. Also the food was prepared on the spot and they were very happy to adjust ingredients as we requested (leave out X, swap Y for Z). An additional item to mention was that although the shop logo has a chili pepper in the logo, when we asked for everything not spicy it really was zero percent spicy, again because they made on the spot rather than having premixed dishes. Small negative points my wife felt her rice was under cooked, and some of the ingredients seemed frozen (I guess impossible for them to keep a lot fresh since it is currently low traffic and unusual ingredients). The restaurant is also very toddler friendly so for once we didn't have to struggle to keep him amused. Drinks were great some real Brazilian soda options actually a really big choice of Brazilian drinks. Finally there is a selection of items to purchase as the restaurant also acts as a small shop. So the cassava condiment topping I really liked was there as packets to purchase in the shop area as were a bunch of Brazilian ingredients and drinks."

"Myself and my family have been to the pizza cafè on various occasions over the past 5 to 10 years. I remember going with my parents from a young age on a Saturday or Sunday as a treat and in my adulthood visiting a few times. Each time I’ve gone sadly the character and standards of the place have continued to decline. The food is average although the prices are still rising, and the service can be quite poor. The pizzas used to be a lot tastier (and bigger), it all seemed fresher, served with a smile and fairly quickly… however on my last visit after being seated me and my partner waited a good 15minutes to be asked which drinks we’d like to order in which case we had already decided what we wanted to eat and quickly ordered not knowing how much longer we’d have to wait for someone to come and take our order again. Then nearly 45mins to an hour later our food arrived! We almost walked out at one point. It wasn’t particularly busy this night either. We had slow service, the food was not worth the price, and we also seemed to be waiting a lot because of a seemingly new staff member not knowing what to do and keeping asking for advice or simply handing it over to someone else which unfortunately I think is what happened to us. I appreciate people have to learn but there should have been a better system in place for someone to help out rather than cause a disruption on a Friday night which could have been a lot busier and caused more delay. I would probably go here again but my expectations are tainted unfortunately."

"I could not mistake the service in this lounge. food and drink order from very efficient and courteous employees. the food is delivered very timely. unfortunately we had to eat without talking. You couldn't hear when the muzak was so loud. I noticed that everyone had to call in communication. not good for the ears, not good for social interaction, certainly not good in the current covid climate. this place could have offered a much better experience if only the volume of the muco was somewhat lower. I notice that these phenomena are very common in restaurants and caffes. is it intentionally designed to scare customers from the superposition of their greeting?"

"Visited today for Sunday lunch. They offer 3 plate sizes for their carvery roast, including small an option for extra meat potatoes. A small portion costs £12 as opposed to the £15 regular plate. There was a choice of turkey, beef or lamb. There isn't a help yourself carvery vegetable bar here; instead everything is plated up in the kitchen served to you. The fresh vegetables roast potatoes were nicely cooked but my turkey unfortunately had some gristley bits on the slice edges. The staff were friendly the tables were clean. There is a small car park with room for about 25 cars."
