Our experience

Walked in and it helped that it was quiet but music was too loud we attended though haf send for my son and he felt it was a bit too loud. The food wasn’t that great and didn’t eat the burgers very plain and flavourless and I’m sure we got a jug of drink included last time we did this so not to have this option I thought was disappointing
We did have a lovely day other than those things

We came late with the kids that Friday

We came late with the kids that Friday. Instead of 4 pm we arrived 1 hour late due to the bad traffic on the m6. Fortunately the girl behind the bar told us there is no problem at all. With a smile as well. Thanks for everything. 7 of us and we have a great time for my birthday.
