Great quality food, produced from fresh and locally sourced produce, is teamed with a fantastic range of drinks – from soft drinks, and beers to cocktails.

Enough selection to keep our party of 4 happy.\nThe staff were very helpful and extremely pleasant. They checked if we were due to go on to a show in which case they were ready to advise on quicker things to select from the menu..\nI have quite a small appetite so the salad with salmon was a perfect size. Even then I had to get one of my dons to help me finish it. The dressing was delicious and the salad was very fresh. Burgers and fish and chips looked good too. Quirky surroundings with enough fire brigade memorabilia to suit the enthusiast but not in your face. Spacious restaurant. \nClean loos.

Delighted to see a fairly small menu, which suggests to me the quality of food and cooking should be good. Enough selection to keep our party of 4 happy.
The staff were very helpful and extremely pleasant. They checked if we were due to go on to a show in which case they were ready to advise on quicker things to select from the menu..
I have quite a small appetite so the salad with salmon was a perfect size. Even then I had to get one of my dons to help me finish it. The dressing was delicious and the salad was very fresh. Burgers and fish and chips looked good too. Quirky surroundings with enough fire brigade memorabilia to suit the enthusiast but not in your face. Spacious restaurant.
Clean loos. We shall return.

The service was outstanding.Terrific staff.
The food was fine but a bit expensive for what we ordered.The Ceasar salad was underwhelming and the tiger prawns worked out at £1 each.
Few more chips would not have gone amiss !

Despite being very busy our table was ready for us.
Table service was excellent, all staff were just lovely.
We did not have to wait long for our food order despite the place being packed..
All in all very pleasant pre theatre food, mainly from the street food menu.

We booked a table for a friends birthday especially to listen to the Jazz trio. Unfortunately they are cancelled at the last minute. The staff were extremely apologetic.
The environment was rather noisy when we first arrived however it quietened down as the evening progressed.
Service was excellent and the food was very tasty.
We had a great evening and will return - hopefully when the jazz trio return.
