MustSee Shows had their cast after-party (40+ people) in the Safari Room, adjoining area & bar on Sunday night. Easy to book. Wide variety of great food, reasonable prices, served quickly after ordering. (Shame the roast was already sold out.) Friendly staff. Close easy parking. We’ll be back!

Really friendly staff. Great food and drinks. Nice place for a weekend lunch.

Three strikes – ignored, rushed, and treated oddly My Rating: 1 star I've now had three separate disappointing experiences at this pub that have made me decide not to return. First, on a previous visit, I was asked to vacate my table well before the reservation time, despite the fact that I had already planned to leave early. I was then given a brief apology from a young staff member, who seemed to mishandle the situation. Second, on a more recent visit, the service was simply bizarre. A bartender approached me and asked, "Are you okay?" rather than the standard "What can I get you?" This was a very strange and unwelcoming start to the evening. Third, and most frustratingly, during the same night, I was completely ignored for an extended period while waiting to be served upstairs. I eventually had to give up and pour my own water, leaving without ordering any food or drink. I've tried to give this place multiple chances, but the service is consistently poor and often strange. I won't be returning.

Came for Superbowl. Way too loud, couldn't talk to each other. Walked out with tinnitus. Set menu didn't have one veg option. Not even a bowl of chips. Disappointing.

We had a horrifying experience at the pub recently we were being pushed and kicked by a group of crazy girls who said we were Asians and should be mistreated,we were separated by security for our own safety.In spite of us being the victim we were told as we were in minority and then we were asked to leave by Shaun Andrew Duncan(probably the manager or owner relative). All we asked for is why the other girls group (larger number) were allowed to stay and Mr Shaun also said he did not care about this episode and what had happened to us.
