Reasonably priced drinks.
Readily accessible for theatres -Bridgewater, Palace and Opera house.
Good shows but far too expensive the drinks at all three theatres and pubs nearby.
Food quality decent and choice of real ales on draft and bottled.
Gets busy on Saturdays with it being in the town centre
Food was expensive for what you got when compared to things like 'beer and a burger' at Wetherspoons. I'd definitely recommend the fries though as they were very filling with different toppings.
Only negatives were the loud music and having to wait nearly 15 minutes for the bill.
Fantastic burgers. The beef its self lacking but make up for it with sauce that is unmatched. It is the kinda of place that is part of the recently overly excessive burgers. I went during a £10 for a burger and beer with fries and found this to be a great deal.
Nice interior, friendly staff.
Good place tho. Give it a go.
Food served prompt , so prompt the main meal came out within seconds of the starter.. Service was awful, price was ridiculous and all together a poor experience. Not recommended at all. Not being funny but other customers where complaining about the rudeness of the staff..
