“We arrived at 5pm and one brave soul seemed to be the only front of staff they had. After a few short minutes he was joined by others and they did an excellent job of serving us. Drinks were great and that steak flatbread was fantastic. Oh, and they call them ‘crack fries’ for a reason. They got some heat but I could have ordered another round of those. A great shareable dish.“
