Reviews of Giraffe
B. S.
We had a nice meal here - sat outside under the heaters. Food was tasty and we got to watch the skateboarders which the littleun loved. Food arrived at very different times though - so one of us had finished when the other meal arrived. Other than that all good :)
S. P.
Nice place to eat overall, nice design, friendly staff. The food is good but nothing special, the thing i didn't like is serving children food too hot and after serving our mains, the kitchen should be careful with this and know that kids have always to be served before as they are always hungry 😂
N. T. (.
I had the vegan katsu curry and some cocktails, the food was great, service was very fast despite the restaurant being quite busy. Angela S was lovely - very friendly, warm and also very responsive when I had additional enquiries around the food. Thank you!
S. H.

Very good menu.would recommend going.as well....go bk again. 🙂😉👍👍.the had pancakes with syrup and bacon on top.really tasty.😋😋🥞🥞🥓🥓🥛🧃fruit juice to wash down with. Enjoyed the food there..😀👍👍
M. K. A.
Fantastic food and service from Angela! Thanks for such a lovely evening and we’ll see you soon
N. B.
I'm not sure what the photo is that prompted me to review because the photo bears no resemblance to where we were. We were in an establishment off the London Embankment. We popped in for brunch and the service was very good, quick, food really nice, all efficient, and all of that whilst being very, very busy. Cleanliness was good, though couldn't be investigated in detail because of the crowds. Can't comment on the toilets because we didn't visit. We would definitely return.
A. W.
Food was lovely. Not used to having to pay a tip with my bill ??? Service was very good I would have given a tip anyway. Only problem was 2 foods on the menu my friend and I wanted was not available but we loved what we had anyway.
D. D.
Yummy food!
Recommend duck stir fry noodles!
Good price and service!
M. D.
An amazing place to stop and unwind. They have delectable food choices. The staff are very warm and accommodating. Angela answered our questions and was honest about the food available foods and current status of deliveries. Job well done!
C.
Thanks for your great service, Angela
Angela was cheerful throughout the service. We had a nice dinner here
B. D.
I ate here on a Monday lunchtime in a group of 10 people.
The restaurant was pretty busy, but the staff were really quick with the service. They were friendly, polite and welcoming and got all the orders correct, including some adjustment requests.
All the food was attractively served and everyone really enjoyed their dish.
A smaller selection of deserts, but equally tasty.
Really reasonable prices, especially for The South Bank, great selection of drinks and food, friendly, quick and delicious. A really great experience, would definitely go again!
S. E.
Love it here. Sometimes the service isn't fantastic in the sense that they leave plates for literally hours and you have to ask for them to come to take dessert orders etc. But great location and you know what the food will be like. Good value.
E. M.
I have never been to this chain before and was uncertain how it would be. The restaurant was very busy, always book in advance if you are going at a busy time. We were seated and I had my first chance to look at the menu. There really is a wide choice of food on it and prices considering it is central London are good. The service was good and the food was tasty.
It is reasonably child friendly and does have a children's menu.
D.
The food was a bit bland and cold. Considering it was very close to Central London, the prices were slightly reasonable. Cocktails were cheap but tasted watery. Staff were friendly and service was quick.
j. v.
The food is pretty low quality.the steak was really chewy and difficult to cut even with a steak knife.The main dishes we ordered didn't arrived at the same time at the table.We recieved the main course before the starters and nibbles.really chaothic place and it feels really overcrowded.it feels like everything is out of control.either the kitchen is understaffed and not trained properly ,either the waiting staff is not trained properly and don't know how to post orders.from what i noticed the waiting staff seems to know what they are doing,so i assume the problem is in the kitchen.maybe hire more qualified people so they can handle orders properly.
S. S.
Angela helped made our birthday celebration special, was always attentive and made the evening amazing.
K. Z.
My husband and went passing the restaurant yesterday early evening and decided to sit down for some drinks and some food. The staff there were really friendly and understanding, the food was served very fast and quality good. Would highly recommend this place.
J. S.
Stopped by for late night snacks and cocktails with my partner and was served by the lovely Angela. Angela was very attentive and offered superb customer service. The cocktails were delicious, my favourite were the margaritas!
A. C.
The food is really great and Staico was really accommodating and nice to us. Highly recommended!
M. W.
Good ish. Very busy. Food came quickly but was of mixed temperature. Judging by the frantic ringing of service bell food was sitting on counter for long periods.
No real complaint, it is what it is
But I do not like any restaurant that automatically adds service to the bill and will not visit again because of it.
D. C.
Angela was a superstar! Great service and super lovely.
Would visit again. Had the Sauvignon bland and halloumi fries-
Delish!
K. M.
Great customer service from our Waiter all throughout the service. The food was perfect temperature and the portions were good. The drinks were refreshing and cold, which was needed on a cold summers day
N. F.
We loved the food and the atmosphere here. Our waitress who was Angela gave us a perfect service. She recommended us some small plates and main courses. My favourite was the sweetcorn ribs and California burger. It was a really good experience and thank you for everything Angela 🥰
R. J.
Really impressed with the staff who were happy to seat us after a show at the Southbank Centre, despite the fact that they were closing soon. Our orders were taken promptly and the food was of good quality. Well done to Giraffe and the staff who used their initiatives to ensure we had a good end to the evening.
B. A.
Angela is my Italian favourite waiter in london. Food was awesome. Service was excellent… if u wanna a laugh and feel pampered, ask for her
J. K.
Angela was outstanding. Absolute superstar!! if you get to chance to experience her marvellous hospitality- you are very lucky, as you will be in good hands! keep up the great work!
C. B.
cool place and great location but bottomless brunch isn’t bottomless, they often take about 20 minutes to bring a new glass out so you’re pretty limited on how much you can drink. Also, overall service is pretty slow.
Meant to update: After something was said they went out of their way to accommodate us, extended our time and brought bottles to our table. Thank you!!
G. C.
The food is great and staff is friendly especially Angela.
e. b.
After a disastrous experience here last summer, we decided to give this place a second try. The service has tremendously improved - shout out to our waiter Abdul who was so lovely and polite. I had the japanese katsu curry and it was delicious :) only problem is that they don't bring all the food at once??? I finished my food before my friend's food arrived! Overall a lovely place to chill with friends on the Southbank.
S. P.
Fantastic restaurant, food was amazing including the childrens menu, cocktails were reasonable, staff were lovely, the place was very busy but the service was fantastic and quick. After 2 days in london this was by far the best restaurant my family visited and we will definitely be returning in the future. Superb setting aswell. 10 stars 👏
s. s.
Considering it was the South Bank. I thought it was very good value especially the kids menu. Pop music and great art on the walls. Food was pretty good and and very friendly staff 👍
A. A.
The food was just amazing! Great customer service and lovely location. Very spacious local with plenty of seating in and outside. Highly recommended place. 👌
S. C.
Angela S gave great service today! She was very happy and approachable. Lovely Cocktails and definitely come again!
A. (.
We had a mexican breakfast and a bigger traditional breakfast. Both were very tasty, delivered quickly and reasonably priced. The place is nice, no complains at all.
M. C.
Food and drink nice and no waiting as we had reserved ahead of time. Service okay. Loses two stars for the following:
Greek salad underwhelming and no feta cheese! Who sells a salad as Greek and doesn't put feta cheese on it?
Fire alarm went off - twice! False alarms both times but visiting with small children was made extra challenging.
A. T.
What an amazing time!!! The food was great and the service beautiful!! The staff was super attentive and helpful! Our waitress Angela was sofriendly. Thanks to William too our cocktails were the best ones in town!!
D. C.
Great food and service. Angela our server, was attentive and made me and my sister feel welcomed to eat here. We will be coming back in the future.
A. M.
Excellent branch of Giraffe tucked away in the Southbank Centre, with lovely views of the River Thames. Great range of food, and the bottomless is incredible value (£25 including a brunch item). Shout out to all the staff who really provide an attentive service, thank you!
D. t. b.
First waitress was helpful. Then there must have been a change of staff, after that service was slow/not very attentive. Staff wondering around eating food and one appeared to be picking chips off a plate!
O. E.
I recently went to giraffe not expecting too much. But we were immediately greeted by the most lovely waitress who did nothing but smile the whole time. Her name was Angela and she helped with our questions and brought our food promptly, which was delicious. This was a great place for the price and their £5 cocktails are a steal. Will come again
A. I.
Staff were friendly and the service was quick. Prices were reasonable.
J. W.
Had a fantastic night here (25/9/21) with my wife and two children. From start to finish the service and food where beyond my expectations for a restaurant I’d never heard of before. My wife had organised it as part of our weekend away and I can honestly say it was brilliant. The food is a good price and tastes amazing even my picky children liked it. I would definitely recommend this place and they do take away food as well as they can get busy which doesn’t surprise me with how good they are.
C. B.
I understand spending more on London but £12 for a burger the size of a slider and 4 onion rings was a bit steep. However service was good and food came quickly
D.
Food fairly poor - bland and small portions. Service was okay, but slower than I'd have expected given how quiet the restaurant was. Probably wouldn't go back.
B. S.
The food and service was very good. Food was delicious and Angela’s service was amazing. 10/10
A. M.
very tasty. there are coloring pages for children, and children's menu.
D. D.
Great ambience, nice location food is alright the Cocktails are great. I had the Pina Colada, Duck Dumplings and the Turkish bread platter. Food and service were both great.
R. B.
Good food but the service was really slow. Had this lot stacked up in front of me for 10 minutes waiting for them to clear it
K. Š.
We had an amazing time! Good selection of food and drinks,very affordable as well. Big thanks to Anjela's friendly service :)
j. B.
Decided to eat here on a Sunday. Absolutely packed to the rafters. They ask you to leave pushchairs/prams near the front door - makes sense to free up space around the tables. Food is ok, nothing special and reasonably priced, staff are helpful and friendly. We returned to our pushchair to find someone had helped themselves and took our daughters unopened water bottle and shoved our pushchair in amongst others. In the grand scheme of things perhaps not a big deal but is it too much to ask for some respect from other fellow diners?
A. R.
Angela was a wonderful host, we had great food and great service !! Thanks Angela
T. C.
Food was nice, but the portions were too small for the price!
D. C.
Great food and service. Angela our server, was attentive and made me and my sister feel welcomed to eat here. We will be coming back in the future.
C. O. (.
Nice Restaurant Located Along Thames, Nice Staff And Atmosphere, Food Was Enjoyable And Brought To Table In A Very Reasonable Time, Considering The Location Quite Reasonably Priced I Would Go Again
R. B.
Good food but the service was really slow. Had this lot stacked up in front of me for 10 minutes waiting for them to clear it

Food was lovely and our waitress Angela was lovely and very friendly :).
J. C.
Amazing service and loved the vegan menu! Great quick service from Angela - we sat down eat and paid in 45 mins before the theatre without feeling rushed
L. H.
We came for an evening dinner before our New Year’s Eve party . Great food great service, Angela was a really attentive waitress! Will definitely be back
E. S.
Had an absolutely lovely night here with my friend. Angela was our waitress and she was amazing and rested us so great! Thank you !
E. F.
Angela was our super friendly server, the food was delicious and everything came super quickly! Amazing value for money and great service!
F. K.
Ok value for money, fairly well sized restaurant although the service was a bit off… we received our food before our drinks and it was quite difficult to get the attention of a waiter during peak
M. K.
saw this on restaurantinlondon.co.uk.
service was a little slow to start (but busy sunday), however food came very quick (and pretty decent), staff were very nice, and oh my - £5 cocktails = heaven!
would recommend!
L. C.
the food was really lovely. The only thing better was Angela, she was incredible, super friendly and a great waitress, I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a good quick eat.
S. J.
A mixed bag. My Korean bbq chicken on salad was small for the price but tasty. Halfway through the meal they gave me a bowl of chips, that I should have had from the start. Not only late but also really poor chips.
D. W.
Excellent location and value for money, especially the kids menu (£3 for main course and a drink). Staff very accommodating and friendly.
C. H.
This a good place to take your family there is space for buggies I saw parents with very young children. The food is very nice although I found my rice a little bit aldente and my choice of smoothie wasn't the best (giddy giraffe). The restaurant seems rather big there were a lot of people it was almost full, there also a heated eating area outside I felt it was a bot cold inside but I think that was because we were sitting by the door. The customer service was very friendly there were no problems what so ever I would like to visit again with my boyfriend.
p. g.
Angela S was an amazing waitress with such a nice attitude and welcoming towards me and my friends! -such nice meal and friendly workers👍🏼
r. w.
Always love going to giraffe ( normally Victoria) for breakfast while in London. This was the 1st time at the southbank branch and again can not fault them. The service is awesome and the breakfast was perfectly cooked. Can't wait to visit again
Y. C.
Improved quality, that's all I can say (last time here was 2 years ago)
R. J.
Absolutely packed inside and out but we only had a short wait for a table for two. Food OK and not too expensive for London.
M. C.
Angela S offered a great service. She was very warm and profession. Will recommend this place to friends.
D. H.
Good stopping place whilst everything was going on in Waterloo. Beacon and egg bap filled me up until dinner and the cherry Pepsi Max was a delight.
T. R.
We visited on a busy Saturday evening so it was busy but we were seated straight away
The music was loud, but we were near the speakers so it maybe an un fair point to make.
The service was ok, but we had to find a waiter to order more drinks. The food that arrived was missing an item, but that was quickly remedied. The quality of the food was good. Everything was cooked well and had good flavour and texture.
What was disappointing was the company automatically adding a 12.5% tip to the bill. I can’t justify to my company putting that on l, so had to find a manager to remove it.
We did leave a cash tip for our server, but it left a bitter taste.
I’m not sure I would return. I’ve been to the Oxford branch and really enjoyed it, where the atmosphere was much more relaxing.
For the war on plastic, please think about removing pointless straws from every soft drink.
C. P.
Angela made my experience here wonderful. Sorted our drinks issue no hassle. Many thanks
M. K.
Angela was our server, we really enjoyed our food and the service was great. Will definitely be coming back!
S. O.
Thanks to Mirabel we had an amazing experience while celebrating our friend's birthday. She was lovely. Very good customer service, she was very helpful and nice . 5/5 I will recommend this restaurant to other friends. 💙
M. T.
Really good food and very helpful staff, always keeping busy and helping customers with there orders. Only one minor downside is that when we ordered wine there wasn't much ice in the buckets to keep it cold but cannot fault them for that. I would deffo come back here again anyway. Plus it was £10 off per bottle. Lovely
M. C.
Veggie brunch was absolutely delicious, love that its served till 4pm too! Only criticism would be the way the cups of tea were served, a mug of hot water and a tea bag on a side plate, would of been better to bring a little teapot. But food and service were great 😄
T.
I always enjoy eating here. The staff and food are great. Nice variety of food on offer. But my cranberry juice was not all I was hoping for. Not sure what I was expecting but something more than a juice poured out of a carton for £2+! Will go for smoothie next time.
B. S.
A bit hit and miss. Sometimes the staff are great, sometimes they can be rude and overworked.
Very busy and full of Kids. Good for families, but avoid if you're adults.
b. p.
Not terrible, but I'll probably not eat there again. The food was very similar to what you would experience at a hungry horse pub, but more expensive.
T.
Had a great time here! Angela our waitress offered great service, she was very friendly and attentive. 10/10 would recommend!
K. T.
Angela was amazing. The best person ever so happy she served us we had the best experience ever. Food was delicious and service was fantastic

Had the best evening here at giraffe. Rita was the best waitress i’ve ever had. best service ever. please give her a pay rise or a bonus because it was incredible!!!! loved spending my evening here today would definitely come back with my friends. thank you Rita!!!!!
f. j. d. m.
Quick service and very friendly staff. The food was nice, our children really loved the place.
g. r.
Angela has been very kind. She moved our table so we could be more comfortable to go outside and smoke. The food was very good and the drinks for £5 saved the day! We will be back
M. J.
The service was impeccable as was the speed of food to the table, but unfortunately the quality of the food was mediocre. Korean bbq chicken bowl was tasty but very small
portion and burgers were just ok.
Couldn't fault the friendliness of the staff though.
F. Y.
Great menu and friendly staff. I love the vegan options - I was surprised at how many there were! Only complaint was that the music was a little too loud, but you get used to it after a while. Other than that, great experience! Have been lots of times and would recommend it!
E. A.
Fantastic food and priced well. Overall great experience and will certainly consider revisiting
J. A.
Overall lovely food, with fast service and welcoming atmosphere by Angela
A. T.
Had breakfast there this morning, details of the order where wrong, drinks didn't come out till after we finished our food. However, Luiz was very good at looking after us. Overall a good experience because of his customer service.
R. G.
Would definitely go again good food friendly service. Value for money options for sitting in or outside.

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff with a decent, well priced kids menu. Managed to fit us in even when busy, and still managed a quick service. Good food and drinks menu. Would go back
E. T.
Really friendly staff and service was very quick. However the food was average, we had a smoky beef burger and a rodeo chicken burger, luke warm and very basic. Very kid friendly but very long queues for the toilets. I'm glad we weren't sat near there.
M. W.
Amazing time the team were amazing. Angela and Deborah were so welcoming and kind and the food was amazing and sensational
o. x.
Delicious breakfast, thoroughly enjoyed it.

T. R.
The food is amazing.. the thai duck fry is a must try. Wonderful service by Angela S.
w. x.
We spend a beautiful night in Giraffe… I ate a classic cheeseburger and was the best in my life… thanks to Angela, she served us so well and was so nice. She deserve a promotion!
S. F.
So much choice, great quality and just fantastic service. Even though they were clearly incredibly busy the lady who served us was just so friendly and helpful- particularly kind an sweat to my son.
R. R.
I was served by RITA and I can honestly say it was a magical experience. She was attentive, kind, funny and dealt with me spilling my drinks with a kindness and grace that made me happy to be here. She deserves EVERYTHING and I recommend this place to everyone.
J. H.
Absolutely love this place. I could eat the whole menu without hesitation! Most recently served by Angela S who could not have been more pleasant, outgoing and attentive of our night. Thank you!
J. L.
Food was nice but starters came out same time as the mains!! Felt a bit rushed to hurry up and eat. Waitress was very friendly and polite.
G.
The food was amazing, the cocktails were £5 and soo tasty, and we had the most fun, bubbly waitress. Her name was Angela and she made the whole experience for us. Big up to Angela!!
M. Z.
I like the duck salad, with pineapple in it and the sauce is not bad at all. The stuff Staico is very friendly.
C. C.
Really liked this place,. Food nice, very much a chain style , but they have gluten free which I appreciate and the service was good. I would go again there
A. A.
my friends and i have come to giraffe on the south bank. i must say we have had a WONDERFUL night. Mani is the sweetest and friendliest waitress ever ! very kind and attentive, the food has also been 10/10, warm, soul-soothing and delicious !!! DEFINITELY recommend 😊
c.
Angela was absolutely brilliant, she was a star! Amazing service. The vegan burger was good, although I would have liked more. Bit small.
A. C.
Lovely service from Angela - her smile is so warm and welcoming, as much as the food was equally tasty! Xx
J. O.
Great loaded nachos, the portion is very generous. There is a student discount available. The wait staff were very good with checking about allergies for my friend.
T. C.
Food was nice, but the portions were too small for the price!
D. D.
Great setting next to the Thames. Food is really good - kudos to the chef. We have Steak and Chips and Fish and Chips. Angela took great care of us!
I. “. T.
The food was very good. Service was excellent! Angela was amazing ☺️ very quick and explained the menu very efficiently
J. W.
The food here used to be average but now its way below that
Nachos were nice w lots of chunks of avocado in the guacamole but the wings were extremely dry & chewy & the hummus plate was a table spoon of hummus w 3 small slices of baguette
Good service though
C. S.
We enjoyed our night at Giraffe. Mirabelle was really nice all night, helped us with good advices and always a smile, the food and drinks were good! We will definitely come back for a nice evening, thanks guys!

Best meal out in London we’ve had for ages. Excellent service, if given the choice on waitress would request Katerina, cannot fault our trip. 10/10

M. H.
Great spot for a family. Lots of variety and choice for everyone, especially your picky eaters. Good range of drinks options for the adults and right around the corner from the Millennium Eye and other attractions. Check out leave Street nearby for great street art.
A. A.
Food was lovely and our waitress Angela was lovely and very friendly :).
k. k.
Lovely place and I would recommend but 12% service charge added to your bill without informing you before you place the order is not fair. This supposed to be clients decision whether to give tip or not.

Lovely food, fast service, friendly staff and overall good prices. Well worth a visit.

Overall We enjoyed it

The food was not too bad for the prices we paid.
I ordered the fish and chips whilst my companions ordered the BBQ spare ribs and a burger. The ribs and burger looked and fasted amazing according to my companions but the fish was too oily for me and it was not salted before being battered. It would have been a perfect 5 if the fish was nicer
The restaurant is definitely Commited to making the customer feel special, the wait staff were very friendly. I even had a dedicated wait staff member that personally looked after my party as I have complex allergy needs. Even when I was recklessly ordering dessert, she came back to advise me on what was in each component of the dessert.
Nice family friendly atmosphere in south bank and a chilled atmosphere where you could talk for hours on end and not feel unwelcome.
S. S.
We spent a beautiful evening with my mother, the ribs and vegan burger were delicious... all accompanied by an excellent service from Angela. Highly racommend
T. G.
Staff nice. No half price burgers on Tuesday. It's in the small print for that venue apparently. I had a pretty dry nothing burger. My kid held off untill he could see mine. Long story short he had his on the way home at a five Guys. Have to admit his was much better.
V. F.
Had breakfast here on two occasions as this branch was local to our hotel. Staff were friendly, we were always able to get a table with no wait at between 10-11am. Really affordable given the location in the Thames as well. Had Eggs Florentine one occasion and pancakes with blueberries and banana on the second. Coffee was nice too.
D. B.

Tasty food and excellent service with a smile from our waitress Mirabel! She recommended the corn ribs and they were delicious.
S. R.
Beautiful location on the water with a view of the London Eye. Food is lovely. There is a bit of everything on the menu: Mexican, curry, Korean, Japanese and Turkish.
My friend and I shared the Halloumi Pide (very nice, especially the yoghurt), sweet potato fries and nachos (with jalapenos and beef on the side). Nachos were average, a bit cold, a lot of the chips were broken which made it very difficult to eat however beef was amazing (wish there was more served)!
For dessert we ordered the brownie and banana waffle split. Both were delicious.
For drink I ordered the sunshine coast iced tea (purely because I'm from Australia), all I could taste was the mango juice (no chamomile or green tea which I was most looking forward to).
Overall I would visit again. Maybe on a Tuesday when the have 50% off burgers. They also have 2 for 1 cocktails Friday-Sunday.
N. C.

Good people watching location, and staff were friendly and fast despite it being mad and rammed full of kids for mid term. Smashed avocado could have been a bit more inspiring. Bit Warburtons... but it tasted ok and the coffee was good.
T. 2.
This place is great and the prices are too! £3 for a kids main, dessert and a drink (£1 extra to get a smoothie) I think the portion sizes were perfect and the food tasted great, both my girls really enjoyed their food. Really friendly staff

A fine restaurant. Needed prior booking or a 45 minute waiting. Good variety in menu and reasonable prices. Food quality is v good. Our waiter had a faux pas moment and missed out on one dish and our guests waited for a long time and eventually cancelled that dish.
The restaurant was full to capacity as there was carnival going on adjacent to it. Great fun.

Me and my 3 year old daughter went for lunch. Kids meal was great. Mani our waitress was fantastic, very attentive. We always have a good time at Giraffe.

Food was lovely the reason I give 3 stars is because the waitress, leaned straight over me whilst I was still eating, to remove my sister's plate.

Good food and the service was amazing specially Angela
J. H.
Came for a staff meal. Wasn’t very busy on a wet Sunday evening in March, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff are attentive and we ordered drinks which came fairly quickly. We weren’t pressured into ordering and were offered help with the menu if needed. There is a reasonable selection of dishes and our starters came just as we had all settled down. The mains were delivered and everyone was happy. There is a selection of world dishes and the menu seems to cater for most tastes. They do have offers on, and they email you if you subscribe, but many of the email offers I have received aren’t valid at the Southbank venue. The cost was pretty reasonable, but they do add a service charge. The view would be stunning during summer and the Southbank is buzzing with life.
D. K.
The place was fabulous for food and drinks with fabulous views also! Katsu curry here was delicious and Angela was a delightful to deal with

Great 5* service.
The lamb wrap special was delicious, although the soggy base made it a little difficult to eat.
4*'s because the portion sizes of the other dishes were far too small, especially considering the price.

Went here on Saturday, nine adults and two children and it didn’t disappoint. Great atmosphere, family friendly and heaving which is nice to see post lockdown. Good menu was rather limited but varied enough to accommodate everyone in our party. The only one criticism I have was that there was no hand sanitizer station on the way in but in truth everyone should be carrying there own, would definitely come here again.
A. H.
Lovely food, great place to go if you have children with you the kids menu is good and very affordable, and there is plenty of choice on the main menu too.

Visited on 24th July. A big thank you to Phillip who was especially knowledgeable and informative regarding dietary needs, which made for a very positive dining experience. He deserves a pay rise/day off/bottle of wine. Thank you :-)
S. A.
Nice place good location the drinks were amazing we had a couple of cocktails and honestly were one of the best for me I have never had a better Pina colada ever thought I was on a beach in the Caribbean and was only £5 each. They had a really good kids menu for our daughter large variety but she ordered pizza with chips ( of course). The mains for us were a little bit of a let down my wife had to order something else because the chicken katsu wasn't very nice but made an alternative quite fast, I ordered the Argentinian ribs nice but needed a bit more seasoning.
G. K.
The food was superb, topped off by 10/10 service from Angela!
