We had a lovely evening in the Sideline Bar. It was very busy and the service was naturally a little slow as a result. However, the buzz in the bar was great and we didn’t mind the delay. Guillermo who was serving us was exceptionally good throughout and couldn’t do enough for us. He has a very bright future in F&B!

Sophie had an amazing way with us as a waitress. She made us laugh, gave us super advice on the menu and had real patience to make sure we enjoyed our meal.

I stopped in this place for quick lunch with my colleagues. I ordered Fish and chips which was really really good, also my colleagues enjoyed their meals. There is one person I have to mention and it's our waitress Evrim, not just for the way she welcomed us with lovely smile, but for all her exceptional service throughout our lunch. Thank you very much Evrim.

She was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely lovely to deal with – an absolute sweetheart who made sure everyone was looked after. Service like that really makes the experience memorable. Thanks. We’ll definitely be back! 😊
