"At first glance, this place has a classic old-school vibe that might deter some, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. This restaurant is fantastic! The prices are great, and the burgers are exactly what I wanted but never realized I needed. If every burger tasted this good, the world would be a much better place. The buns are perfectly toasted, with a delightful crispiness on the edges, and the burgers have a wonderful texture. I had a chance to chat with the owner, who has been here for 50 years—what a kind guy! You can really taste the quality in the food. Both the flavor and texture of these burgers are clearly well thought out. I really enjoyed my experience!"

"Lovely food, great service, definitely care about what they put out. We're late to finding this spot. Clearly an established pillar of the community already. We tried this place over a month ago and have already become regulars! Their Chan's special, their duck, honey wings and everything else we've ordered so far has been great. What's a lovely touch is they wrap our food in a box with foil on top to ensure the food stays warm, never seen that anywhere else and demonstrates the level in which they care about the food they're delivering. The staff there are lovely, very friendly and welcoming. Glad we have found this place and will continue to stay regulars."

"I attended the music quiz at the Boathouse on Saturday, October 15th. It was a fantastic night with a good selection of beers, especially the Hammerton 'TINT' Nitro stout. The quiz was enjoyable, thanks to DJ Mike Starr, and I would love to return when he is playing music. The staff were excellent, very friendly and provided great service. Keep up the good work Derrick and team! I hope to visit again soon."

"Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! I don't generally like writing bad comments about places but I felt the need to as I wouldn't want anyone else to experience such bad service as I did. I went just before 8pm and was told to oder online instead. I was told that the food would be ready within 15 mins even though the email said 25 mins. It gets to 8.30pm and I get told by the receptionist that they haven't started on my food yet as they are busy and that it would be another 10 mins. It gets to 8.45pm and she said oh they haven't started on your food yet. As anyone can imagine waiting nearly an hour is unacceptable especially when you have gone into order and collect! I decided by 9pm I had enough and wanted my refund, which then took another 30 mins to sort out. Absolutely shocking and unbelievable! A few other points to also mention: 1- The receptionists have 0 customer service experience and are very rude. 2- Another customer who had ordered online, called over the phone at least 3x times just to find out where their order was. They lied and said it was on the way when the order was just making its way out of the kitchen. Saddest part is that they were laughing about the customer in a very rude manner 3- Another customer came in and ordered 10 mins AFTER me and got his food within 15 mins or ordering! When I challenged them about it, they made up a pathetic excuse trying to say it was something else which didn't make sense. 4- Not even an apology. Poor customer service, and I would even go as far as to question the legality of their employees there, but that is a matter for the correct authorities to investigate. I would honestly Avoid this place and would not recommend it. Don't waste your time or money. There are lots of other honest, decent places."

"Went for my wife’s birthday for 9 people, food came in parts, cutlery missing, chipped plates, kept reminding them of missing order, drinks not delivered on time, no tissues, person serving (waiter) no where to be seen, terrible terrible service, very very ordinary food, tiny portions, nothing exceptional. Very disappointed and ruined wife’s birthday dinner and she clearly blames me. Will not be going again. Their Birmingham and Manchester branches are good but not the barking one."
