    I booked a table for mother's day and everything was okay until I found plastic in my pork belly burger. It put myself and my wife completely off our dinners. It was meant to be a special dinner for mother's day, but the day was kind of dampened because of that. The manger apologised and took my wife and my meals off the final bill, we still paid for the 2 children's meals, but honestly we didn't want to stay for dessert. How does plastic even make its way into a pork belly burger? It still makes me feel sick thinking about it, how did plastic get there?

    Cancelled our booking within 15 minutes of our time slot so we were nearly at the restaurant. Plus this left us no time to book anywhere else on a busy Saturday night in Belfast. Dreadful customer service for a customer who DID visit everytime in Belfast.

    Took my son & mum out today for lunch. Was very quiet so was seated right away. Ordered chicken stack with pepper sauce, asked for chunky chips instead of champ. Was a really lovely meal. Chicken was tender, chips were so nice, only they put the chips in the dish would have preferred separate. Mum ordered braised beef which she loved & my son got the brisket burger which he said was delicious. Had been before for food and was still as good as last time. Service was also good. It's nothing fancy but the food makes up for that. Would defo recommend.
