There seemed to be a lack of staff in the restaurant tonight and this adversely affected the timing of the meals, waiting on line to be seated even with a booking and to get drinks. Once finally seated we ordered online which was easy and straightforward. 2 Parmys were ordered, one being a traditional Parmy and they both had bone in them, never in my life have I had a Parmy with a bone, it was not pleasant. The chips were nice, the salad left alot to be desired. The food took over 40 minutes to come and this had to be followed up. The kids meals that came with poppers and ice cream came with no poppers and staff had to be chased down just to get the ice cream. All in all, we wouldn't go back.
