The food was amazing as usual, unfortunately, the service was slow. This was probably due to it being Saturday. But overall, this didn't change our opinion of how much we love this place

Been here a few times now. Really enjoy it. However tonight, my mother's food was about 10 minutes after all of ours and with hardly any cous cous as advertised. Apart from that, good atmosphere.

Really tasty food and a nice atmosphere. The waiting staff are friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. There is a great selection of drinks available. It's spacious but isn't loud and echoey like some places. It is more expensive than some restaurants but it makes up for it with the portion size and quality of food.

The Smoke Pit was nice, good service and food was on the whole ok....but like us and everyone we've spoke to about it since has agreed it was a little on the expensive side. We would go again but would have to think about what you ordered carefully, which shouldn't come into it when going out for a meal .

5 people in my party were satisfied with their orders, I however felt that my lamb ribs weren't barbecued, they were burnt. Also I think that the sweet potatoe fries should be a little more chunky, they seemed like potato scraps.

Fabulous food - good choices, great flavours, large portions. Would not recommend for vegetarians though, as options are a little limited. Service was excellent - friendly and helpful. Restaurant was fairly busy, but we were never left for any time without drinks or food. Will definitely be back.

Food is amazing with massive portions. Service is a big let down though. There didn't seem to be any one person responsible for our table. At times we where asked the same questions by multiple people. At other times, staff where standing around whilst is and other customers tried to get their attention. Either way drinks and other requests took multiple attempts and far too long.
