This is the sort of place that gives eating out a bad name. Very poor quality food with long waits. Not particularly cheap either - like a downmarket Harvester. Waitress was pleasant and efficient though.

Not a bad location opposite the hockey / cricket club. Bar is interesting but the food excellent! Nice outside area for the summer

Although in a rather uninspiring suburban location, it has a nice atmosphere partly because most of... More
