Friendly staff for my chum & I, out of towners, in what was clearly a popular lunch spot for local regulars. Both dishes tasty and delivered swiftly. Impressed with staff's efficient cleaning & disinfecting regime.

Report
Was eating in this restaurant recently and could not believe how unprofessional the staff were. I overheard one member of staff who was tall and was wearing glasses, basically rush a couple out of the restaurant due to the fact the table was apparently needed. Time went on after the couple had left and the table was still vacant. I had been told by a few people as well as reviews on here that the staff could be rude/useless. Not to say all of the staff were horrible as the member of staff who served me personally was friendly and professional, but seemed like stuff was going on behind the scenes
