Try buffalo wings and chicken and waffles. Really good food - overall! Me and my friends loved it.
Conni ScarlettSeptember 7, 2016Chicken and waffles and house lager at both great. Good value for money. My other half enjoyed his wings on both occasions we've been here. Staff were a bit inattentive though.- Jetset BartDecember 11, 2016The Absurd Benedict brunch is breakfast of champions - Waffle, fried chicken, poached egg & hollandaise 👌 Nom nom nom 😎
Anya🍀 LibovaJune 5, 2017Some of my wings were undercooked and also generally not very easy to eat, but if you do still choose to go for wings option, choose something other than buttermilk!
Aniruddha MandkeNovember 3, 2018Delicious burgers. Afternoons are quiet. Good for large groups if booked in advance.
LiamOctober 14, 2018Good wings, tasty buffalo sauce - I’d go back for those. Chicken burger are too thin, not a full fillet.
Mat AOctober 23, 2017Went as a group for the bottomless brunch only to find out we couldn't get Bloody Mary's because their tomato juice delivery hadn't turned up. They were very accommodating though the food was average.
Cyril RichardApril 11, 2016Tried the chicken wings (different types with different spices). Everything is great, the meat itself is very good quality, spices bring originality. Really liked the place as well. Good value!
Jessica AnsaldiFebruary 7, 2017On a quiet Sunday. We ordered starters, they never came back to ask us for mains, I had to ask two waiters, 40 mins later turns out the order had not been placed and the chefs would not make.
Mick McLoghlinSeptember 1, 2017Absurd 100% accurate. Quality of food & prices disappointing. Burgers were tasteless & just slapped together in a crumbling pile of batter & bread. Mac n' cheese had no bacon & rubber cheese.
Nikki BSeptember 1, 2017Awful, had a few beers, fancied a burger .... bad times. The staff were really lovely when we complained but not a lot they x a do, awful
Toby CoxJune 5, 2016More like absurdly bad. All 5 of our mains were mediocre. The chicken was crazy dry. The wings were dope though. They come from a separate kitchen to the rest of it. Go for the wings, ignore the rest.

"Their "junk" food is really tasty if u go for the spicy options. Make sure you ask for spicy fries, and order the hot peri peri chicken or the spicy supreme burger. (Don't worry it's not that hot!)"
