Fantastic place to eat and have a drink. Decently priced cocktails and amazing staff. Cannot recommend enough.

Very spacious and cozy atmosphere. We got the sharing hanging kebab. Was definitely worth it. Our selection was lamb, chicken and pork belly. The chicken was just chicken, quite plain and dry. The lamb was lovely, soft and well seasoned. The pork belly had a great texture and was near fall apart softness. The chips were well cooked with a nice crunchy. Coleslaw tastes very good and well seasoned. We got coke from the bar and they come in large pint glasses with not a slice of lemon but a wedge, it was big. Would come again.

Fabulous location, views, decor. The staff were so cheerful, friendly and helpfull. Its the first time i've ordered a chicken curry and the chicked arrives in a batter. I dont care for deep fried, battered, food so they lost a star for not calling this idiosynchracy out on the menu.
