Food was good on Sunday the 11th of August but the wait for said food was not after ordering my partner and I waited over an hour for food. I ordered the 28 pound steak which I ordered medium and it was pretty tough and not really worth the 28 pounds - however the dirty fries and the halloumi fries were utterly divine. It was these few hiccups of tbe time taken and the quality of the steak that ruined the experience for me and my partner I would however go again
