Apart from the food and service being exceptional, the Goodland Jungle Juice DIPA was literally next level for this style. I had lamb shoulder and my 2 friends had steak. The sides, of note the roasted Broccoli were delish. The 12 year old Bunnahabhain Scottish single malt distilled on the rugged cost of Islay made for the perfect finish.

Staff were very helpful for the large group we had booked for and easily accommodated a few extra people who came on the day. No issues at all with the pre-ordered meals. Was a simple process to book for a large group. All meals were great and the lunch time special was great value.

We attended prior to a concert at Marvel Stadium. We booked ahead( a straight forward process using the website) and arrived slightly early. The place was busy but extremely organised and well staffed. Our orders were delivered promptly and the food was exactly as described. We therefore had a stress free and pleasant dinner leaving in plenty of time for our concert. It is not the place for an intimate dinner and chat, but ideal if you want good food presented on time and with efficient and friendly service.
