“OK Food and Service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

We saw the menu and thought nachos sounded like a good snack. We order the chicken nachos and they were nothing great for the price. A little short on cheese and the salsa was more like ketchup with tomatoes.

“Enjoyable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2011

The staff in this venue were excellent and really looked after their customers. The bar food was tasty and value for money. Really nice smoking terrace upstairs overlooking the street. The only downside to our experience was that the music was far too loud!!!
