Good food, made to order for eating in or to take away. Not a lot of healthy options.

Had a great lunch at the deck with our two young kids. Great view and atmosphere. The calamari was brilliant! The trio of slides was great and a good idea having three small different types of burgers. It appears to be wheelchair friendly with a lift to the first deck.

Every meal I've had here on the Dinner & Tapas menu has been phenomenal!!! I wasn't very impressed with the Big Breakfast though, Streaky bacon was nearly all fat, & the little bit of meat in each piece was too chewy. Eggs were poached too long, a little rubbery and the yolk wasn't runny. Sourdough bread slices were very small and the crust was too hard to cut through, let alone chew. Mushroom and Avocado were nice, the baked beans were very nice Service and atmosphere is always excellent Best hot chips I've ever had, addictive! The burgers looks marvellous, and the Seafood Gnocci is unreal.
