Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviewed 2 July 2023 via mobile

Have been several times but after yesterday’s visit I felt compelled to review as its happened far too often. The venue puts so much emphasis on its food offerings (which are great) but they severely neglect the bar. Only 1 draught beer in Corona which...they ran out of. The alternatives are bottles & cans from the ‘fridge’ that DOES NOT WORK !!! Warm beer on a warm day ? No thanks ! What’s the most frustrating aspect is that this has been a problem for years which they don’t seem bothered about fixing. Buy a new fridge guys or put more draught options in. Cut our trip short because of this and we weren’t alone.More

The food was OK if a little pricy. The decor, atmosphere and service was so poor even with OK food it made for a rubbish evening. From having to ask for knives / forks, being offered beakers for wine glasses because they had run out...and when they did arrive they were so dirty you couldn't see through them. At the second time of asking they looked clean until the wine went in when they foamed up because they hadn't rinsed them to remove the soap. Very disappointing.More

We came along tonight after finding this on the internet, seven of us for a birthday night, not sure what to expect. The front of house guy, Paul was friendly and explained everything well. The bao buns were really tasty, bursting with flavour. Korean chicken,...pizza and calamari flavoursome and well cooked. Large mixed gyros excellent. The singer was good but not over the top, atmosphere relaxed. Really enjoyed it, will come again.More

Went here with the family and grandchildren to celebrate a birthday, and what a lovely pair of hours it was. The staff were friendly and very welcoming, and the food very nice, although a bit pricey. The buffalo chicken is not for the faint hearted....Very hot, but very nice. Nice live music playing while you were eating was a nice touch. We will definitely be back.More

Went here for my sons birthday on a Sunday lunchtime. Really nice to go somewhere different with a good choice of different foods. The app didn’t work as planned but we just paid at the bar which was not an issue. All the staff were...friendly and food was delicious. Musicians playing created a great atmosphere. We will definitely come back.More

A nightmare. Went there with a few friends Wednesday night as my friend said it would be nice to go for a 'quiz night'. Ended up a real nightmare. To start with, although it was advertised to have 6 or 7 vendors serving different food,...it ended up with having only 4 options, all selling unhealthy, junk food. I, at first, thought there might be some healthier Asian options like Thai, Korean, Chinese or Japanese, for a change. I have learnt from other vendors that they have moved out of the place as the management there was really bad. The quiz night itself wasn't any better. A lady kept shouting on the speaker with her microphone in a loud, high pitch voice, which makes it really uncomfortable to be in. I almost had to have my earpiece on. We even saw a mouse running in the men's room towards the bar but none of the staff did anything to it (probably they didn't see it as it was really too noisy there). I checked their food hygiene this morning just to learnt they got 0 stars from their recent visit. The pizza I finally ordered was good though. Won't be returning to this place again and don't recommend unless someone really loves junk food.More

loved it!! the place is amazing, some very good ideas put together and it works massively. We went on a recommendation and it didn't fall short, the atmosphere is lovely, really chilled. so 2 adults and an 11yr old what do we order?? 1 thing...from every vendor was the easiest way, so drinks from the bar, gyros, dirty fries, a pizza and churros to finish off, and a cocktail from a teapot........BRILLIANT is the best way to describe it. Food was gorgeous place was cool really trendy, just a shame is wasn't busier, the owners have a brilliant place just needs to fill it before we loose it. defo 100% worth a visit if you wana try something different it will not disappoint 5*****More

From our last, which was not such a great visit, we thought we would try it one more time, however the old app no longer worked, the new app didn't give you food descriptions, a 10% service charge added, to basically eat out of polystyrene,...we wouldnt recommend coming here, its not cheap either for street food, best treat yourself to a proper restaurant where you get served and fed in style.More

Manager with ginger hair rude and app shocking, takes about 30 mins to order food through it and if asked for menus forced to use the app. Would not recommend, easier to go some place where ordering food is easy especially if you are hungry!

I hate being one of those who write about a horrible experience but here goes... This is a great concept ruined by a very unhelpful member of staff who just took an instant dislike to myself and my partner as soon as we stepped foot...in the building. This woman coarsely told us that unless we have downloaded their app, we were unable to look at the menu, let alone order anything. There was no alternative, no plan B, no other option. Get the app or leave. So my partner tried to get this app but couldn't get it downloaded but another, much nicer lady, came over and said she had some paper menus we could order from so we found a table. The other one couldn't care less. We made a selection and tried to order it but that particular company had gone. The nice lady tried to find an alternative but that drew the attention of the nasty one we had met earlier who promptly came over and sarcastically said "As I SAID, you can ONLY order food from the menu downloaded from the app." I pointed out that I had downloaded the menu from their website the night before, but that use of technology only seem to make the woman even more angry with me. Meanwhile, the nice lady sneaked off as if she had been caught accidentally been helpful. Ironically, the chef at the booth opposite to the bar, was at this point standing idle on a quiet Tuesday unaware that we were being prevented from ordering any food and spending money with him. I wish that I had told him what was happening. It was my 50th birthday and it was a quiet night so this was not a business under immense pressure. We had also booked. We honestly gave that woman no reason to be so unhelpful and cross with us. I can only assume that we did not fit the demographic that this she felt the restaurant should serve which is a shame. I also assume the profits are fine too because we ended up going somewhere else where we spent £70 that they clearly didn't want. As i said earlier, it's a really good idea and I was so looking forward to going there but I guess they don't want my kind in the place. They have a variety of meals to choose from so you couldn't fail to not find something that you may like. Unfortunately, if you don't have the app and look under 30 beware - they may feel you bring down the atmos for the youngsters! For anyone else, I would actually say it looks like a good place to eat. God knows what the angry woman would have said had I got to the payment stage and told her that my card wasn't a tap and pay one!More
