Judy and Mia were both fantastic!! Service was exceptional and they went out of their way to make our visit perfect! Food came out quickly and was really tasty. Easter bunny was great and entertained the kids regularly.... Only reason I have marked down is because there was no hot drinks (again). No coffee is quite a big deal for breakfast!! Other than coffee this was a perfect experience...!

Had a fantastic time last night on father's day the waiters that served us where extremely nice and chatty dispite how busy they were. And the food was incredible, especially the chicken tandoori sizzler that was so good I had to inform the chef!! Very impressed.

Great restaurant with great offers! I was lucky to go Friday when they have a buy 1 get 1 free burgers day. Good for your budget. I went for the biggest burger they had, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended. Also, they have other selection in their menu to be chosen from.

Absolutely amazing service as always when we come here for lunch. The staff are always very helpful, friendly, very easy to talk to and nothing is too much trouble. The prices are very reasonable, you get your moneys worth. I have a food allergy, which is not a common one. The General Manager went above and beyond to check the ingredients for the food I had picked to have. Amazing fast service, food was lovely and hot, as always and well presented on the plate. This is definitely our favourite place to come and eat.
