Great experience Manager did a very good job looking after us and making sure we were well catered too. We indulged in the all you can brisket and ribs with chips menu. Tasted amazing. Some cuts of the meat were quite fatty (to be expected to some degree). Apart from that great service and great tasting food! Chips and drinks were delicious and paired nicely with the food! I would come again to try out different selections from the menu. Appreciate the hospitality - Thank you
