The food was lovely, and good value. We all went for the sandwich menu, it was difficult to choose because they all sounded good. We had the club sandwich, the fried chicken sandwich and the goats cheese and roasted red pepper ciabatta. Can't wait to go back again to try the others. The service was great, we were offered water as soon as we arrived then had time to look through the menu properly, we didn't feel rushed at all.

Great venue and not too busy that we couldn’t hear ourselves. Usual great service and good food. Value for money. You can’t ask for anything more. Well done and thank you

Lovely and cozy restaurant. The service was great and very humble. The varieties of bear, drinks and cocktails are good and huge. The food itself was delicious and great in taste. They try to add some Japanese style on each dish. The quantities are fair, but won’t make you full.

Would highly recommend a visit, the food is great and the cocktails are amazing. However it’s the staff who make this place so wonderful! Ryan and David are exceptional, they really make you feel welcome and looked after. They are always there at the right time to replenish the drinks! Mya behind the bar makes the best cocktails and they are always keen to please by mixing cocktails that are no longer on the menu!! We love our visits here, and not being from the area, we wish there was something similar local to us in the North East.

Our visit here was excellent as usual. Food was lovely. Cocktails amazing. Excellent service from all staff especially Will & Ryan. Thanks for making our night a good one! :)

Yay, it's been a while, a restaurant that actually delivers flavours. The food here is so flavoursome. I had the pulled pork, and my partner had the prawns starter, both fantastic. Mains were the Gyros and the Morocon chicken. Sooooo good. We will be back. Also staff were fantastic and we've never got drink orders so quickly anywhere. I highly recommend the local black powder navey strength gin and my partner recommends the zombie , which has the kick of a mule

Lovely inviting place, the customer service was absolutely outstanding, will and maya were so wonderful and even when there was a mistake with the food they fixed it immediately and were so lovely about it. Had the best 21st meal I could ...
