Main meal was good but ordered Affagato for desert described as it should be with vanilla ice cream and expressing coffee - it was served with strawberry ice cream (yuck) with coffee already poured on! Not nice at all!

We had two vegan dishes, a pasta dish and a pizza. Firstly, than you guys for making the effort to accommodate a plant based diet, it is greatly appreciated. Your vegan pizza was the best pizza we’ve had, absolutely superb. Next time though, we’ll ask for some spinach topping to go with the vegan cheese. Thanks again guys. We had a great night.

Really lovely. Nice vibe, lovely service and lovely food. Food price very reasonable. The pizza are HUGE which is fabulous. Ate my leftovers for my lunch today! Delicious! Wine was lovely but a little pricy and the only other thing was the dressing on the olives was lovely, but it was quite intense after you ate a few. That's a personal taste thing though, others may love that intensity. Overall, a lovely meal and a lovely evening. We will be back to use our 20% discount. Looking forward to it :)

Booking by phone app was easy. Seating was comfortable and well-spaced. Service was attentive. It was a short menu (this can be a good thing) - it did not contain some of our favourites but what we ordered was well cooked and tasty. The calamari starter was crisp and cooked well.I was not a fan of the mayonnaise. My wife had the carbonara, which she enjoyed and I had the seafood pizza which was very nice. We did not order deserts or coffee. I found the ‘ambient’ music too loud. It made it difficult to have a conversation. Good to see the place well used on a Thursday night.

The food was delicious. Really fresh and it came out fast and hot! Can’t fault the food or service at all. I’d say for some constructive criticism that the restaurant itself is a bit sterile, not much personality in there. But the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. Oh the 20% discount on the next visit should be emailed.

It was strange that on a Sunday lunch time we were the only 2 people in there. I think we should have been told that the Pizzas were the size of a dustbin lid enough for 4 people. £16 is a lot when it is wasted. It is a shame because it is very nice in there and the staff are fine but for some reason it has never taken off there. But we gave it a try, it’s a shame, so much potential.

We were very rushed at the end of are meal, we had just asked to see the dessert menu when we were asked to sit at the bar to finish are drinks as a result they lost out on another round of drinks and dessert. They were trying to pack to many people in a limited time. Food and service was ok, shame about being rushed

Food was beautiful and the staff were ever so friendly ! Only problem was it took 25 minutes to get our first drink and then nearly an hour to get our food, we only ordered pizzas, both ordered bbq chicken and one come out with a bbq base and the other had a tomato base, didn’t want to complain and wait another 30 minutes! But other than that the atmosphere is lovely and staff are still finding their feet! We will deffo be back!:)

2 Pizzas had and are poor quality. Base wasn’t great. Cheese was very strange (seemed synthetic?) and the topping needed more tomato. It’s not hard to make a proper pizza so why not do it? Pasta was cooked nicely but a true Carbonara doesn’t use cream. However, using a little cream is ok but it tasted too much of cream. Wine prices are a little excessive (£25 for a £6.99 taste?) £21 would make more sense. We want your business to succeed but people rarely tell you the truth and they just don’t come back. Best wishes Martin
