Not great. The menu never changes. Expensive for what is offered.

Visited here many times with my parents and both are disabled, mum is in a wheelchair and access is ground level and extremely easy to navigate. You are instantly greeted and chaperoned to your table, on this occasion we were put on a table in the corner next to a window in the heat of 27 degrees and half way through the meal I was feeling a little uncomfortable to say the least but not wanting to moan I battled through. Maybe a little more thought and consideration from the staff would’ve been a little nicer. Ordering food was simple and the waitress was pleasant and covered all our needs, the food arrived a lot quicker than I anticipated and was lovely. On first impressions I actually thought “that won’t fill me” but it did. It was cooked to perfection and certainly couldn’t really ask for any more. When leaving the staff opened and continued to hold open the doors so I could push my mother out of the restaurant in her wheelchair. Massive thank to the staff for their hospitality and excellent customer service and delicious food
