Another 15 minutes pass before we're able to order drinks and the staff seem more interested in place settings than actually serving their customers (bare in mind there's only 7 other tables seated at most).

Arrived to the restaurant to find there was no heating on and it was cold and rather stark inside( minimal decoration for December and only one other couple eating) we shivered throughout our time there.

After giving my booking name for the second time we were finally seated at a table for two set awkwardly next to the bar where there was lots of noise from the crowd waiting for their tables and from the bar staff making drinks, this was upsetting my step daughter so I asked if we could move towards the back of the restaurant away from the noise of the bar and the crowd surrounding it.

£23 for a naan bread and a king prawn curry (maybe 5 prawns) - that doesn’t include any drinks or service - in a very average setting.
