    Really tasty scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. I found the coffee a little too bitter. We were seated straight away. Our order was taken efficiently and food came relatively swiftly. Ambiance was buzzy. Very busy and the tables were a little small - but I can understand why they would want to fit as many people in as possible in this location.

    The food was enjoyable however the menu options aren’t very clear and don’t make much sense. Why is the all day menu labelled as all day yet upon arrival we found out it is from 4pm onwards (that’s not all day). The welcome when seated wasn’t very warm and we were almost rushed into our table. The lady who served us was lovely but the service from some of the staff was very slow and blunt at certain points.

    This was not as good as I hoped. The staff was unfriendly, the food was party but not worth mentioning and the acoustic’s are so bad that it’s hard to hear the person you’re with speak. Not the best experience.

    Dear Hailey, Sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience with us on this occasion. We will touch base with the team to see why we may have fell flat on this occasion. Thank you for the feedback, we are always looking for ways to improve. Kind regards, TBP
