DO NOT GO HERE ⚠️⚠️🚨🚨 THIS PLACE IS A BIOHAZARD I wasn’t going to leave a review, but after this experience I feel it needs to be addressed. As a food critic, I pay close attention to food quality, hygiene, and service standards, and unfortunately this restaurant fell well below what I would consider acceptable. From the moment we arrived, the person who appeared to be the manager was constantly touching his hair. It was unhygienic, unprofessional, and immediately raised concerns about the standards being followed behind the scenes. Throughout our meal there was shouting back and forth between staff and the kitchen, creating a chaotic atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the evening. The food itself was also disappointing and, in my opinion, not cooked properly. Given the concerns we already had about hygiene and professionalism, this only added to our unease. The most serious issue came after we got home. My husband became extremely unwell and suffered what appeared to be food poisoning after eating his meal. Considering everything we witnessed during our visit, this was deeply concerning. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. Poor hygiene, unprofessional staff behaviour, food that appeared improperly cooked, and a customer becoming ill afterwards is completely unacceptable. We will not be returning and would strongly advise management to address these issues as a matter of urgency.

Food was very bland .. the plate is filled with Rocket Salad. The Gammon I had I was more like a burnt rasher of bacon, the egg was overcooked, the pineapple straight out of a tin. As I was in a group of 8 I didn’t complain I just left 75% of my meal. The tap water was fine.
