    My nachos were cold and the cheese wasn't melted. The pepper sauce was split. Bathrooms need work. No soap and broken hand dryer, light bulbs not working and flickering. Issues with our bill and paying. Food isn't cheap, but also not of great quality. Management did apologise and deducted items from our bill, but even then we had to to send the bill back twice for rectification.

    Roast was delicious, but chocolate brownie dessert was very dry & hard.
