We paid an off the cuff return visit last Monday at around 20:00 and was shocked to find it so busy compared to our previous visit only a week earlier!
We hadn't booked but were welcomed with an advisory that there would be a delay on food as the kitchens were busy - not a problem so we had a drink at the bar while we waiting for our table to be readied. There came the first confusion....how do they open a tab without a table number they mulled over for several minutes
It wasn't too long before being shown to our table, followed by a longer wait for our orders to be taken but pleasantly surprised at how quickly our food to arrived - result
The menu isn't massive but this week they had populated the "specials board" - i guess they'd had a power meeting on how many ways can you serve pulled pork - the burrito was very good and so were the chili fries. The staff were all willing & seemed happy but still not a polished crew as yet - we were OK with that but Boycee seems harder to please
I'm glad it was busy, I hope they can make a go of it but they do need to sharpen things up a tad, the one thing i did notice on the this visit that could be a cause for concern is the noise!! I do like the minimalistic approach with the decor but it does nothing to absorb the sound so it felt like we were eating amid the South Staffs all-comers Shouting Contest, i can see that being off putting for some.
We'd just popped in for "our tea" and went home full, relatively happy at a reasonable cost - mustn't grumble
