The food was so good. So happy to see so many gluten free options. The gf onion rings were amazing. Our whole meal was delicious.
The staff were friendly and attentive.
The steak for two was absolutely superb. And very good value for money at £25 / head (excluding the pepper sauce that is 😉)
The only thing that let the meal down was the coffees afterwards. They were not very nice at all, and expensive at £5 each. This would not take a lot to dramatically improve, and could then.become a further high point of the whole meal experience.
The service by the way was great, with friendly and helpful staff.
Thank you Flowing Well!
Keep flowing ... well 😊
to conclude i would have refused to pay the £50 price tag for it. spent £141 Yes we made the big mistake of ordering two steak platters !!! if it was not for my family not wanting me to inbariss them ! One star rating will not recommend this place to anyone will definitely not be going back.....A very disappointing Birthday dinner...
