Solid food & drink!
Really, really good food! Came here yesterday evening and loved it! Me & my mate had the Derby Rib burger…. It was as described… 2 smashed patties in a brioche bun with a generous helping of beef shin and some beautiful hand cut chips!! Was advised on the 30 min wait so didn’t mind at all. The young lad serving us at the bar was polite, friendly and professional. Really good atmosphere too! Very busy but felt cosy! Great selection of drinks, haha pint of Lukas from Thornbridge and it was delightful! Can’t wait to come back with her indoors and try some more food! Slightly on the expensive side but you pay for what you get imo and on this occasion, it was a worthwhile visit! See you very soon guys!
