Just had lunch here after their refurb. The place feels so much more open and airy now, really comfortable. The new layout is a big improvement. My only thing is the tables are a bit close together, but it&#39;s a minor point.

The new decor&#39;s a big upgrade, feels more upscale now. Was in on a busy Friday and the staff were still really polite, even when they were clearly rushed.

Been coming here for years, and the vegan dishes are always solid. They come out piping hot, just how I like them. That consistency keeps me coming back.

Food&#39;s always piping hot and arrives fast. The refurb really brightened the place up, feels much cleaner now.

The lamb shish here is spot on. Really tender, cooked perfectly, and that marinade tastes authentic. It&#39;s a dish I keep coming back for.

Convenient spot at Festival Leisure Park with loads of free parking. The space itself is quite nice - really liked the high ceilings and the big windows. Made for a relaxed, casual dinner before our film.

The place was absolutely packed, which I guess is a good sign. You get a lot for your money, honestly. Just be ready for the noise and the wait. Parking was easy, though.

First time trying pie and mash, and I&#39;m glad it was here. The pastry was really light, and the filling tasted so fresh. You can tell they use good ingredients. Just a bit heavy on the salt for me, but I&#39;d definitely order it again.

Solid Sunday roast. The meat was a really nice cut, cooked just right. Good selection of veggies too. Felt like a proper, no-fuss meal. Hit the spot.

Chloe was on top of things, got our order in fast. She had a way of making you feel looked after without hovering. That kind of service is a big plus.

Spacious and clean inside, which was nice. I grabbed a booth for a solo lunch and it felt really comfortable. The seating made it easy to just relax and enjoy my meal.

This place has a buzzing atmosphere, and the burgers are amazing! The staff were polite and attentive, making our visit enjoyable. I highly recommend checking it out if you&#39;re in the area.

Been a few times since the new owners took over. Place is definitely cleaner and the staff are friendly.

A reliable favourite. The coffee is excellent, always fresh and strong. The portions are generous too. It&#39;s just a good, solid spot.

The build-your-own salad concept is efficient. I appreciated the clear ingredient layout. It&#39;s a solid, healthier lunch option for the area. The price felt a bit high for what you get, but it&#39;s convenient.
