This is my second time visiting this restaurant. Both times with family for special occasions. I was excited to return after our last visit and not living nearby, but I wish I did, as I’d love to visit more often!
First bit of advise. Be sure to reserve a table. This restaurant is very popular. We were booked for 5:30 and the restaurant was packed by 6. People were being unfortunately turned away that didn’t have reservations on a busy Saturday night.
When we arrived we were seated promptly, drinks were provided quickly and orders taken in good time.
We were with two young girls, one 10 and the other 13 and they love this place too!! The staff here always give them high fives and really make it a special experience for them.
All members of staff are superb. They’re friendly, work hard, efficient and try their best to give outstanding service to every table. Service charge is not included on the bill, which is rare these days, but a tip is always very much well deserved.
Coming onto the food, be sure to check the specials! However, on this occasion we all ordered from the menu. 3 cheesy garlic breads for the table to share, plus me as a coeliac I had minestrone soup. Annoyingly, the minestrone was much nicer than the one at home, so the recipient would be very much appreciated ;) it was delicious. The cheesy garlic breads are essentially a pizza, they’re huge and easily fed the other 6 diners.
When informing the staff I had a gluten allergy. I was confidently walked through the entire menu. There were lots of options to choose from and I felt very well looked after by all the staff.
Main courses. I had a gluten free pepperoni pizza, that also has chillis and I would say it’s one of, if not the nicest gluten free pizza I have had anywhere. Others had the steak, lamb shank, bolognaise and other pizzas and everyone was very satisfied by the food. On this occasion, one of the meals was a little later reaching the table, but nothing that became unreasonable, it did mean others had started dining but with an extremely busy restaurant and an overwhelmed kitchen, these things sometimes happen and it was sorted very very quickly and professionally with apologies.
Lastly, the kids had a desert, as did the birthday girl and as they knew it was her birthday, the restaurant played a birthday song and put a candle in her desert for her, the entire restaurant sang along with the happy birthday, as did the staff - a very nice touch.
Overall, for 7 of us, each having starters, mains, deserts, alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and coffees it came to £230. Just under £33 a head. Excellent value in my opinion and although I do not live nearby. I can’t wait for another excuse to return!

This place feels like a family run restaurant, decent food with attentive staff, the atmosphere whilst loud was great. It was reasonably priced and we both enjoyed our food. We will definitely be returning.

Tagliatelle was the best I've had, my husband enjoyed his pizza-nice & thin with plenty of topping. Staff are amazing. We go there before every theatre trip and I think our grandchildren may prefer it to the theatre!!

Good service, good food. Tips don’t go to the waitress when they’re paid on card. Shocking.

Thank you so much for a great evening last night, the manager was very friendly, helpful and recommended different flavours to try. There is so much choice,it was hard to choose. We regularly go to wingfest so will definitely be making a beeline for you guys next year. Excited to come back in October to try out the new menu. Frickles are a great side. Waitress forgot our smoothies but they did have a massive table of lads trying to all pay separately so I think she got distracted. Overall, a great experience. I wish we had a decent wing place like this in Kent!
