The main manager was great, he moved our table when we asked and was very attentive. We were asked if we were Muslim and we’re not, but the way it was asked seemed offensive if I was a Muslim and therefore I do believe staff do require training. Apart from the manager, staff were not attentive which was disappointing otherwise I would have given 5 stars

Great food - the King Prawn and Monkfish curry and the Sea Bass were both outstanding, as was the Artic Roll dessert. Great choice of drinks too.
