Fantastic meal out with family. Visited and had the lunch time menu, was excellent value. £15.95 for 3 courses. The lasagne I had for main was hands down the best lasagne I have ever had, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Brownies for dessert was heavenly. Adam who served us was outstanding, helpful, friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend visiting for lunch.

🍽️ Review:
There is a very good reason why I say this is one of my favourites and that is because this place never disappoints, they always come up with new dishes to keep it exciting 👏
As you will expect we were absolutely stuffed by the time we finished our meals, as what you see is what you get and yes the meals really are that big. Most importantly though they taste as good as they look too!
The Tikka Naan was absolutely stacked with chicken tikka curry, this combined with the mint sauce was lush. The naan bread was lovely too although we did not eat much of it as we had to get through the mountain of meat 😂
The main attraction though was definitely the new Salt & Pepper Chilli Burger, this was just insane. This was a monster of a meal and Salt & Pepper chilli lovers dream. Not only do you get a giant burger but even extra salt and pepper strips too. Let's just say it was ridiculously tasty!
I honestly cannot recommend this place enough 👏

Absolutely lovely place and delightful staff. I didn't know what to expect in terms of the inside, but it had this antique chique vibe that worked so well within. All the chairs were different and it oozed character.
I had the halloumi fries, with Salt & pepper chilli chicken, my partner had prawns and bbq chicken. Food was stunning!
However...I do have some criticisms, and considered 4/5 stars. But went with 5/5 because I just feel it would be an in justice.
So:
- forks: they felt so cheap, and I could almost bend mine and my partners fork. I just feel as 'fine dining' it just needs some better forks. Sounds silly, but gave me this 'cheap' feelings.
- salt & pepper chilli chicken: umm okay, so it was super tasty, super lovely. However, it had a bbq back taste? I didn't taste the chilli, or anything but that kinda odd bbq taste. I wanted something with a little more of a kick. But, it was tasty, and even tho there is a critism, it doesn't take away from the taste.
- bbq chicken: it was quite dry, once again tasty but had a dryness to it.
I think due to the food being so tasty, regardless it can't warrant a lesser star.
Me and my partner felt both dishes needed a more drizzle of sauce as standard. So a sweet chilli sauce over the chips. And a bbq sauce over the chips for the bbq chicken. Kind of give the chios more flavour. The bbq chicken, needed to be covered in sauce more in general. But the chips need that complimentary sauce over them as part of the dish maybe?
Outside was beautiful, inside was gorgeous, staff incredibly polite.
Don't take my criticisms as anything but ideas, because everything was delicious.
