We came in without a booking on Sunday Lunch, 5 adults and 2 kids. The staff was friendly and we got a table. The place was not very busy at that time. The food is reasonable, and you have to order at the counter. The service is very minimum, but with a smile. View all feedback.

Delicious food and drinks however I feel that for the prices you pay for food that table service should exist.

Called in for a meal on Friday and Sunday and service was very friendly and efficient; meals where tasty and delicious. Will call in again when in the area

The servers at this restaurant were delightful and very kind. Although the service was a little slow, the delicious food that arrived made up for it.
