The BBQ Steak flatbread was fantastic. Great flavour, more spice level than I expected but I’m fine with that, some people might find it too much. My wife had the burger which she also was very happy with, it was a substantial size too

Fab setting, location; delicious menu choices and superb service. Despite being fully booked, the dishes just kept on rolling with no delays. The vegetarians amongst us commented on how good the flavours were for what are normally quite plain food ingredients. Well done to the team.
