Wow. We attended here for my Son's 17th birthday on the recomendation of a work colleague. My mother is medically gluten free, not a life choice gluten free. As sufferers will know any trace of gluten and she'll be violently unwell. However I'm pleased to say this place really looked after her. She had chips for the first time in 18 months as normally places can't guarantee the fryer is completely seperate. These were the nicest gluten free chips she's ever had. I tasted them too and they were delicious. On arrival when my Mother was talking to the waiters she enquired about chips and was told that as they'd have to heat the oil in a fresh pan it would take at least 30 mins so they started them straight away and managed to make them in time to have as a starter. My Father and son had potato skins which were cooked and salted perfectly, unlike some other places where they are dripping in oil. My eldest son had bruscheta to start which he said was marvellous. For main course we ordered a gluten free ham and mushroom pizza, a margherita pizza, a bolognese with chicken pizza, lasagne, penne al forno and a gamberoni pasta mix that my wife requested as she couldn't decide between 2 dishes! Wow. everything was just fantastic. It's the first time we've been here and we will definitely be back There was 9 of us. We had 2 bottles of wine, soft drinks, 3 starters, 9 main courses and that came to £175 including a tenner tip. Which for 9 I thought was vert good value. We'll defo be back here soon and I hear they do great Sunday lunches too! A word of warning it gets busy! I booked o Tuesday and had to settle for 4.45pm as they had nothing for 9 heads after that. I'm pleased we tried it out,

Attended here with a group of friends. Restaurant was packed with a decent atmosphere. I ordered a flat white coffee for my beverage and it was weak and tasteless. My starter of a chicken bruschetta was quite nice, but quite a small portion size. My main was really disappointing. I ordered the seabass, the fish was cooked ok but it was accompanied with a tomato sauce with calamari rings in it. The calamari was rubbery and had a strange taste. They were accompanied by a few mussels which were fine. The main was accompanied with seasonal type, vegetables, broccoli, carrots, which absolutely didn’t go with the tomato sauce. There were also a couple of roast potatoes which were completely undercooked. Generally just a strange meal that wasn’t very tasty, not worth £19.99. Friends mainly had pizza which looked fine, but nothing amazing.

This restaurant offers great value for money, a pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. I visited with my mother-in-law; she ordered pepperoni pizza, and I opted for the Pollo Al Forno.
