Wenjia Tang The food is AMAZING and comes in huge portions. Every dish we’ve tried is full of flavours. The staff are lovely too! Will definitely come back ❤️

Muzza Dun Just popped in for lunch with my son who loves Italian food. We were not disappointed. But what makes this place special is not the home made pasta, delicious panna cotta or the lunchtime specials - all of which are wonderful- it’s the obvious passion for good honest food and warmth of the owners/chefs. Will be back very soon.

Tsunami Loved the food here! Especially given that they do chicken thighs…! A rare sight for chicken shops. We took takeaway so can’t comment much on the resto itself. Staff seemed kind and service was good. Interesting stickers in the bathroom. On food: the chicken is excellent. If you are sensitive towards blue cheese avoid the blue cheese flavour as it is really strong. Instead of it being a blue cheese sauce like most other places you actually get chunks of blue cheese!

Fay S. Incredible meal overall! I don’t think the snacks add much value to the menu tbh but the fish was nice. The 4 course menu was great, my favourite was the 3rd course and dessert. We went for the wine pairing which was nicely matching the food. But if you’re picky with wines then maybe not, I wasn’t fan of the dessert wine and was hoping they’d change that for me but they were not flexible with that. Other than that, fav experience and we will be back!

Dean Kelly Working locally I asked for recommendations for a decent pub to get dinner. It was suggested I come in the Queens Head. I’m so pleased I did. I had a mixed grill and not a single item was less than perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was good, quite busy. I believe it’s steak night. Seems a really popular place with locals. Only downside is the car park is a bit tight. But with a number plate registration system at the bar you can’t really knock a star off just for that.
