    Perfect for a pre gig meal. Bloody brilliant service and the food came really quick. Will definitely go back as I want to try just about everything else on the menu and take a good stab at their reasonably priced cocktail menu. To have it all accompanied by a soundtrack of KISS, Mötley Crue and Led Zep made it the best Monday tea I think I've ever had!

    Bucks is always a good time. The portions are more than generous and delicious. If you like a mixture of rock music the ambience is definitely for you as well.

    The chocolate was amazing!😍 Everything on the menu was so good! I had to have the chocolate cake as this is what I saw on Instagram!!! Next time I will be having the chocolate fondue! The decor could do with updating in my opinion. Service was very slow despite what seemed to be a lot of staff roaming around. Areas for improvement: have someone on the door/managing the queue outside as you had to queue to get to the door despite having a reservation. Once inside there was no one to greet you and again had to wait. Then had to wait 10 mins for order to be taken, and longer still for drinks to arrive. This was my only critique which I thought worth mentioning so the place can improve, but overall I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back ☺️
