Beautiful space, with so much attention to detail, there's a lot to look at. I was lucky to see live music on Monday lunchtime, was lovely.....and the 2 little pugs wandering around was a bonus x

The place has a good vibe and the music was nice, it gets really busy around 6-7 and weirdly empty around 9 on a weekend. Annoying ordering system … you can only order through the barcode and they charge 40p extra on every drink, which adds up with every item you add on the same order!. I’d happily just go to the bar and pay, but they don’t let you. Also the wait times are not great and can be confusing I ordered 3 drinks together and they came in like 15 mins intervals from each other. Even when it was quieter around 9:30 the wait was still like 15-20 mins for a drink which feels unnecessary. I get it with food maybe, but for drinks it’s just extra fuss.
