Good food and reasonably priced. However, it was a shame about our seating arrangements as we were close to the toilets and the smell was quite apparent throughout our meal.

Great atmosphere, friendly helpful service and fantastic food. We were a big group which can cause problems on a busy Saturday night but all the food was spot on and we can't wait to return again.
