Waited for about an hour to receive the order. Even though in their photos they show a big bowl of King prawns, all I received were 5 shrimps in a sauce bowl (and they cost 8 pounds). Not to mention that both the shrimps and the breaded mushrooms were very oily. Would never recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else.

RUN FOREST RUN. I hate leaving negative reviews, however on this occasion I feel it necessary to not only let the public know, but to also hopefully give the owners a chance to sort things out. We waited almost an hour for simple Thai fish cake and mussels starters, both with fries. We also ordered a house Lager and House Cider. When they finally arrived we were Gob Smacked. The mussells looked (and tasted) like the Microwave in a bag supermarket ones. The Fish cakes were nearly all potato and were cooked from frozen and totally tasteless and the salad consisted of 1 cherry tomato and a tatty piece of Lime. The fries were overcooked and soaked in oil, virtually inedible. The drinks were served after 10 minutes wait and we were amazed to receive a can of Carling and a Can of Thatchers 3.50 each??? At the point when the meals arrived we also ordered our deserts. Waffles with Strawberries and ice cream and Waffles with chocolate and Banana. We told the girls we were now in a massive hurry as we only booked two hours on the car park, to which we were asked if we wanted the desserts to take out (ice cream???). We rushed those down and sprinted back to the car park to find we were 10 mins over our 2 hours (no ticket phew) I firmly believe that the food comes from Lidl and is the cheapest they can possibly find. The staff all looked about 13 or 14 and had no training what so ever. Ours served the strawberry waffles next to all my old mussel shells and walked away empty handed (without my old shells). Fortunately Boris contributed, he should ask for his money back! I do hope they sort it, the idea is a good one.

The service is a little on the slow side but we are on holiday and weren't in a rush. The food was nice, its like a tapas bar, but it looks like people don't realise this considering the comments. The staff are really pleasant, very young and you do have to ask for some things twice. Overall we had a pleasant evening here

Went yesterday. Was amazed that such simple dishes could be so poor. Mac chess, chilli con, BBQ chicken wings..... and to top it all was given Lidl craft beer. Really?? Served by someone that was just not trained in customer service. The joke was that I said to the rest of the family that it looked fine and would be better than the chippy. :-(

The service this evening was really bad, along wait of nearly an hour is shocking to say the least . The grilled garlic chicken served on a warm salad - was awful... it wasn't grilled -No seasoning-looked and tasted like it was chicken from a cold meat pack for sandwiches as it wasn't even a chicken breast! Probably around 4 to 5 cloves of garlic coated all over it with no taste whatsoever. My sister had duck rolls which was only 5 of and overdone and to be fair overpriced at 7.95 for this when you can get clearly cheaper in a proper restaurant and much nicer. Awful food and unfairly priced for what it is . Would not go back there!!
