“Very kind service as soon as we walked in we were instantly greeted very kind. Staff sandwiches are so filling could only eat half and when we packed half away the staff noticed and came over and gave us takeaway container without even asking so thoughtful. Would definitely recommend if you love a good sandwich so big and filling!”
