David AminiNovember 24, 2014Everybody's favourite restaurant/bar for an upmarket date on Canal St and the one place that never seems to change! There are better places in town but this is as good as it gets on Canal St.UpvoteDownvote
Ashley HoweAugust 16, 2015Went there for food on a Sunday. Got a two course lunch for 11.95, and the roast dinner was well worth it. Couldn't finish it all.UpvoteDownvote
nickoletteNovember 26, 2013In the bathroom instead of music, there is an audiobook playing - Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry. As a fan of audiobooks I find that amazing.UpvoteDownvote- Nick WilsonFebruary 27, 2014A good place for lunch £8.95 for a main and a glass of house wine.

Because it's Pride, they stop serving their decent Chenin Blanc and only have cheap and nasty Pinot in plastic glasses & won't let you sit in the restaurant for a decent glass despite 10 empty tablesUpvoteDownvote1
