Atmosphere was strange, service left something to be desired. Food was overpriced for what you get, no cutlery for the salad, no salad dressing. They call it Farmhouse bread, you’re better off popping to the supermarket and making your own sandwich. Will taste a lot nicer.
This place is awful! The staff are very rude and just sit outside getting drunk, smoking and swearing in front of customers and people walking by. This is very unprofessional as there could be young children around! The place is filthy inside, the cloths they hand out to customers are dirty and smell awful. I came here for a trial shift which they told me would be paid for, and then they are now refusing to pay me at all! I was only meant to be there for 1 hour and ended up staying for 4. There was nothing to do as no customers would come in which is no shock! They then harassed me to post a good review on trip advisor which I have no removed as it made me feel uncomfortable and I didn’t want people to think this is a nice place to eat! They don’t wash their hands after being outside smoking, and then they go to prepare food. They do not follow any hygiene guidelines whatsoever. Please do yourselves a favour and go to any other place along George street as it’s full of wonderful places unlike here! Reading all of the previous reviews just proves that this is an awful place with disgusting and awful staff!
Came here today and it was a very bizarre experience. There seemed to be too many staff running around like headless chicken for a restaurant of around four covers. We were sat down for a good fifteen minutes before our drink order got taken. We ordered food here aswell which was nothing special but we still gobbled it down. The waiter who served us was quite abrupt and rude. The restaurant itself needs a serious makeover. There is room for improvement here with service and atmosphere.
Never seen anything like it. Table cloths had a stench of damp/vomit, owner outside on the beer whilst we’re waiting to get our bill, had to go outside and ask him to come in. No take away boxes, food bog standard, if I could give this place a 0 I would. Do not come here, owner initially shouted at us on the street to try get us in. 2 4 1 prices aren’t even worth it, my pizza was okay but I worry about the hygiene behind this place
Neither the facilities nor staff appeared deserving of the highest hygiene rating. Popped in for a tea and coffee...no sweet treats on offer... The coffee had nearly run out so it resembled hot water and milk. £6 for two. The serving chaos was rather amusing but I won't be revisiting
This is how looks like a kitchen. Everything is dirt. Complete unsanitary conditions. I wouldn't recommend this place.
Pretty awful experience. Understaffed and the guy who did serve us didn’t speak English well enough to understand us ( I appreciate we are ordering in his second language but I feel he should know the menu a bit better to help with this). The guy missed my order and only brought out my partners, when I eventually did get mine it was burnt and bland. How is this possible when you’re rushing an order? Then the waiter argued with us over the bill and tried to over charge us, he’s lucky we even paid!
First time visiting since New owners service was poor we ordered a panini and a ciabatta staff came and said he would give us just paninis because they were bigger, I said we didn't want bigger it was just lunch he then decided bigger and came back with two French sticks I couldn't be bothered to cause a scene infornt of my child and ask for what we had ordered. when I went to pay the staff tryed to tell me that the cheap French stick was a panini, I may not be Italian but I'm certainly not blind or stupid. Over priced for what you get & left majority of it as it was not what I wanted. The staff told a customer to move this I observe as rude and not some where I will ever visit again!
Used to be a great place but unfortunately owner and staff have changed. They don't have half the things on their menu, we waited 45 minutes to be served and then had to ask for cutlery, the manager came out when we said we didn't want to eat omelette with our fingers and was rude, we decided not to have our coffee and desert there and moved to the place next door. When we went to pay they didn't accept cards, so my husband had to look for an ATM to get some cash. Such a shame, it used to be a no frills but great food and service place.
