Had to seek staff out to advise of our arrival, then for menus, then again for the bill.
Buttermilk chicken sent back as very small portion of preformed chicken for £9. Rubbish. Manager removed from bill. Burgers ok and nachos just about acceptable. Fast food at rediculous prices. Not quality food and expensive price. Half of the ladies toilets locked so keeping cleaning to a minimum but queues out of the door at one point. This was 6pm on a saturday and the place was half empty. Not a good experience.
