Had a great time, food and music really great. Sundays are a Sunday roast which is a fusion of classic English roast done in a West Indies style. Classic mix that we all loved. Staff were brilliant.

We went for the Sunday roast, we sat down and a server came to us. We weren’t ready so she went away. About 10 mins later we were ready to order to only be told they’re not serving the roast. Wish we were told upon arrival or when the waiter initially came to greet us.
