“ Prompt efficient service, delicious and well presented food. ”
“ Very friendly staff, whilst very busy member of staff was quick to clean the table where someone else just left. Mum loved the fact she could get a mushroom burger, chips unsalted. Compared with the other burger chains in the food court it's better value and you get a plate. ”
