  First, the pros: The place was immaculately clean and nicely decorated. However, I was less than impressed with the food itself. I had BBQ wings to start, of which there were three, served on a piece of slate. These were unremarkable. For the main course I had a chicken breast 'stuffed' with mozzarella and tomato, with chips. The chicken breast was pretty small, and there was not a lot of mozzarella or tomato to be found. The chips were pretty bland compared to other places I've eaten. For dessert I had the 'profiterole surprise'. I was indeed surprised that there were only three profiteroles with a dribble of chocolate sauce. Given that these were clearly from a box of frozen profiteroles from Iceland or similar, I was also pretty surprised that taking three out of the box and dribbling some chocolate sauce over the top commanded a price of £4.50. I got the impression that pretentiously arranging the food to make it look better than it was had taken priority over taste and serving a reasonable sized portion. At £25 for the three courses, I felt pretty cheated (and still hungry) compared to other places I've eaten, where the food has been both tastier and more generously portioned.

  Food is hot and tasty (always important) and there is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere whenever you visit. Staff are very helpful, kind and attentive. Warm and cosy in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer. It is an altogether nice place to go on your own or with family and friends. The only let down is the food is overpriced for what essentially looks like cash and carry 'grub' and not much of it. I will not visit there again for that reason.
