⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brilliant place! The pizza was absolutely awesome, and the garlic fries were AMAZING! We shared everything between us, and there was more than enough.
Great atmosphere, loads of seating, and plenty of sport on the TVs, which made for a really relaxed vibe. Friendly service too. We’ll definitely be back!
