Nice atmosphere and friendly staff - could do with more staff as we had to wait a while for our bill and my fiance had to go up and pay. The food was decent, good portion sizes, the lasagne was delicious. My fiance had a pizza with olives that still had the pits in so please be careful if you have olives in a dish especially if your kids decide to have a olive dish. Overall the food was good value for money.
