    In all fairness this place got busy and we expected a little wait and to be honest it was worth the wait. Food and service was spot on. Gent behind the bar was a gentleman

    Had to return 1 meal awful, didn't even look edible. Chips on all meals hard and over cooked, items paid for but not served had to ask for them. Not much of an apology just blamed there supplier!! No decent chef would have sent out food this bad!! Won't be going there again.

    what a shame. new owners so really wanted this to be good. Sunday lunches ordered and all 3 chicken dinners weren't cooked. Blood seeping all around the bone. Server said they are cooked it's just a different supplier and it's got veins 🥴 luckily spotted before consumed Lady took back and i had the beef which was just ok. no offer of refund or apologies just kept telling us it was cooked 😡
    The BirdcageResponded on 14 February 2024
    Hi Paulajean, Thank you for your review, I appreciate you taking time to give feedback. I am so sorry that your experience here with us was not a positive one. Everything is still new to us here so we have taken everything you have said and hope to learn from it. From immediate effect the chicken thigh has been removed from our roast dinner and our chef will be ensuring that he checks all meat thoroughly to prevent anything like this happening again. I just hope that once we are a bit more settled you will give us a second chance. I apologise again and wish you all the best. Stevie @ The Birdcage
