We made a last minute large booking here, and we were cheerfully accommodated despite the short notice. Where things fell down, unfortunately, was the food we were given - the Halloumi burger in particular was hilarious. One solitary, slightly burnt piece of cheese, drowning in mayonnaise, with a bit of salad - in a tiny bread bun. It looked something you get at a family BBQ when your carnivore of an uncle has grudgingly admitted he needs a veggie option, and drank too much beer before he slapped the cheese on the grill. And YET - the same cost as the rather handsome looking beef burgers.

To top it all, one of the Halloumi burgers had a piece of clingfilm in it - delightful - which the waiter did take back, but had to be repeatedly told to take off the bill. A good tip, chaps - serving plastic is kind of an instant, "take off the bill, apologise loads" moment.

ANYWAY. If you're just going for drinks, it's fun - and they have the space for larger groups. If you want to eat - I'd suggest you grab a Maccers beforehand.
