Popped in here for lunch. Although the acoustics made it a tad hard to hear, it was a fantastic place. The service was brilliant. The food came in a timely manner and was yummy. Especially the gravy with the fries. Oh my lord! The cheesecake yum. Mocha was well made as was the smoothie, it has a honey base. Will be back definitely. Thank you.

Lots of options on the menu, friendly staff with fantastic service, and the food was delicious. A really cool garage decor vibe throughout, and you can watch the food being cooked with the kitchen in plain view. The staff took extra care with my husband’s coeliac dietary requirements, which was really appreciated. We will be back for sure!
