Came for a roast. Wouldn't recommend the vegetables we're obviously frozen and no amount of gravy could save it. Definitely not worth £15.The waiter however was good and the venue was nice

The staff are amazing. Polite and so knowledgeable with the drink and different food menus. I have so many favourite staff there. The best foods ive had are from mals kitchen and bayside grill cant fault them. And the cook dinners are spot on expecially for the price. Vendors are amazing too. Just an amazing place to be. Cant recommend this place enough x

Food and atmosphere was brilliant we ate from the pop ups in the beer garden it was excellent. When ordering drinks from the main bar I was ignored for about 15 minutes. (It wasn’t that busy) when I finally got served the bar tender tossed the card machine at me. Was having a lovely experience up until it came to ordering drinks, took way too long and felt out of place.

We had our wedding reception here on the weekend and it was fantastic. The service was great! The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the manager EB was 10/10! Honestly, this venue for a reception was everything we wanted and more. Not to mention the food! The Jamaican food 👌🏽👌🏽 don’t sleep on this venue for any special occasions! We are very chilled and relaxed and this was the perfect spot. We had security there to make sure it was invited guests only coming into the yard and we had no trouble at all. The staff even decorated the place for us ( we provided the decor) and it was perfect. All our guests commented on the venue and said they wished they done it this way too. Massive thankyou to all the team who pulled out all the stops!

Gutted! Visited to celebrate exam results. What a let down. Food that did arrive, arrived very quickly, it was cold and uninspiring. The rest of the food did not arrive at all. We let one of the people wandering around. To be fair the young lad was very pleasant and did his best to help. We ended up being given the wrong food (that was cheaper than what we'd paid for) ages after the rest of the food. All very expensive for what it was. A very lame apology. Heard others leaving who had also not received their food either. What an absolute faff paying for each stall online - took ages. The place itself was shabby and thrown together. Not good I'm afraid and certainly not somewhere to celebrate.
