Had a great time on Sunday afternoon, we booked the back room for a birthday as it was a dedicated space that we and our kids could relax in, without worrying that we were disturbing the other patrons. The guys were super helpful, even pulled out a box of toys to play with and the food was ace. Thanks for making my Birthday a good one. S.x

Fab - food was lovely, I really appreciated our server's knowledge about the food and drinks on offer and how friendly and helpful he was - I'm sorry, I didn't catch his name because there was a large group of us who hadn't seen each other in a while, but he was absolutely fantastic!

The Safari Lounge is awesome, and the staff are doing a superb job given the need to change to table service and social distancing. 1000% recommended.

Extremely friendly place to visit with staff very attentive towards the customers with covid-19 regulations. We felt extremely safe and at no point uncomfortable. The food was fantastic with a nice slant on some traditional dishes. Book with confidence

Ambiance is hard to get post lockdown. Staff were careful though & lack of screens due to spacing felt more normal than other places we've visited. We felt looked after & safe.
