    Service is slow and not great. The milkshake was watery and tasted like nothing I sadly have a very fussy 3 year old and I got her a kids pizza and it did not state that it would have parsley bits on the pizza and therefore my daughter did not eat it and it was impossible to pick off.

    The food was divine. Service was welcoming and very attentive. Kitchen had a bit of a delay, and they were incredibly apologetic and gave us a few nice things to apologise (they didn’t need to, my husband is a chef elsewhere, we understand it can go all wonky sometimes!) Absolutely lovely food - recommend the katsu chicken strips, so yummy. Well worth booking a table!

    I have dined here a few times and was really disappointed with the changes to the menu. It was burger/pizza/pasta heavy. .starters all felt a bit 'processed foodie' nothing fresh or light to eat. .ie there was no salad choice. .I opted for carbonara which was very salty and quite bland. .probably won't go back unless menu changes.

    We had a lovely lunch sitting outside at the weekend. Service was fast and attentive and very friendly. Food was amazing. And we will be trying the pizza next time as they looked out of this world. The burgers were lovely and the kids loved their meals too.

    GG never fails to please. Food is fab, the Italian pizza is a must have although the burgers and loaded fries also received good reviews from the rest of the party. The staff are really friendly and are always happy to provide recommendations and go out of their way to accommodate. A loyalty reward scheme would be great 😊!

    Food and service very good unfortunately there was a family in at the same time and the noise became unacceptable, parents if anything seemed to be encouraging the volume. Other than that all good.

    The meals we had (The Po Boy, Pesto Spaghetti and Rib Eye Steak) came into the just ok category. The quantity in the spaghetti was more akin to a starter than a main meal. The Po Boy was a bit dry and the sides with the steak were better than the steak itself which was a bit tough. The service and the staff however were excellent.

    Wasn't rubbish but was nothing outstanding, had burgers but have had better burgers elsewhere was very basic. Had the brownie for dessert and was good but wasn't heated which was disappointing due to this brownie was rather hard needed knife to cut through it not a spoon. Service was reasonable did ask for straw for kids juicer and had to ask again as forgot and when ordered another drink took ages to bring it out. plan to go back again but will be trying something else my daughter had kids pizza and that was good.
