Went on Sunday the 23rd of January and very disappointed with the beef on the Sunday dinner wasn't nice at all. Cheap processed meat. Had Italian food there beginning of January and couldn't fault that but definitely need to work on the meat on a Sunday dinner.

The chicken breast was small and swamped in sauce though the veg was good. The veg pizza was ok, a soggy bottom but ok. The waitress asked about the meals & the saltiness was reported. It was evident my colleague had
