    Our waitress is the only reason I didn’t give a 1 for service. She was the night’s saving grace. 2 person table to which I arrived 10 mins early. They could seat me but confirmed they’d start the clock as soon as I sat down and couldn’t add on an extra 10 mins as my guest wouldn’t arrive until then. Highly inflexible approach that set the tone for the evening. Then when we were told we had to leave, we placed our bags by the bar whilst one of us went to the bathroom and the guy behind the bar shoo’d my friend away. Supposedly ‘the bar space is reserved’. What makes you think you can treat people like cattle? Such an awful experience honestly and for food that was sub-par at best. The menu is very limited fyi. Our waitress was amazing and I wish I got her name. Short blonde hair, face tattoos and vegan. Hope that helps narrow it down!

    The best thing about the visit was one server who was lovely, really helpful and polite (never got his name) he took out drinks and food order. Drinks, starters and mains took ages to arrive, half my food was cold and arrived even later than the rest of the other orders. The cutlery on the table was filthy, we asked for it he changed and it took asking 3 different servers for a replacement. We normally go to Brixton branch and very rarely have issues. Will not be going back to Shoreditch branch

    Highly recommend this place, the service was 10/10. Out waiter was super nice, gave us good recommendations, and had a good personality shown through his jokes and comments. The drinks came quick despite the place being full and people rushing through the doors. As well as it being really nice. I also noticed people were not waiting around and was seen to asap. The food shocked me as it was really tasty, Basic, but they put good effort and taste into it which made it really nice and I enjoyed my meal. I say basic because there were sandwiches and not much on the menu, but they really made it better than basic. The live music topped of the night and me and my partner ended the night very satisfied and belly full :) atmosphere, good staff, cleanliness, food, drinks and good music all 10/10!

    It would be really good for staff to be clearly identifiable by wearing a uniform, logo T-shirts etc
