Hada lovely night with friends. Loved the option of Zucchini noodles with the pasta dishes - meant this low carber could enjoy something other than sald for once, without breaking the rules!

Drinks and food came quickly. Very tasty pizza. We were not told about the $20 lunch special of food and drink, until we had already ordered drinks. Would have been helpful to know. Otherwise all good and Covid safe.

Very slow to get first drinks out - over 30 mins. After that, the food was good & service picked up. Probably would have preferred table service than having to go up & order (not sure if this is standard or because of Covid though).

Liked the setting. Service was acceptable as just new staff.
Far too much rocket lettuce with the calamari salad. Could have fed a village!

The COVID situation: understood.
I gave an average service rating but this underlies the fact that the servers came across as new to their jobs. So well done for trying your best.
The Butcher pizza was excellent. Lovely base and perfect toppings.
The only real let-down was no dessert.
Yes, there was a cake fridge I was directed to, but I don’t call that dessert.

Place was nice. Service was very friendly and quick.
Food was average tho. Calamari salad had very little calamari. The fish and chips was small and the parmigiana was also small with very little chips and salad with it. Chicken pizza was a good size but needed more topping.
For the price of the food I would expect a lot more on the plate.
Won’t be returning in a hurry when there is other places with generous portions and lower prices.

It was a wonderful night sitting outside on Bull Street. Unfortunately the service was a little slow and the food was a little average. I ordered the Calamari Salad and the calamari was over cooked and like rubber and the “salad” was just a bowl of rocket.
