Operations Manager, John Gordon, told Exposed: “It’s been a labour of love getting here. We took the site over in January last year, and there’s been a few ups and downs, but I love the overall aesthetic and look of the place now.

“We’ve got striking elements within the restaurant that I think should attract customers – no expense has been spared in making sure that the delivery meets ours’ and the customers’ expectations. I’m feeling incredibly positive.”

“As well as beers that marry to the food, we’ve also got an extensive cocktail menu, which Charlie, our bar manager, has created. He’s generated a list of over 30 different drinks and he’s doing his own infusions on site as well. He’s actually got some custard vodka on the go at the moment!” added John.
