    Great food as always , only issue was the food took ages to arrive , the waitress told us only one chef was in tonight the other was off sick. So you can understand the long wait, not that it was a big issue, though I ordered wings for a starter and was expecting them to arrive pretty quick but they arrived with the main courses , which wasn't ideal . But overall it was a good experience, all the staff are very welcoming, the guy singing and playing guitar 🎸 was also good and adds a nice touch to the night.
