Excellent venue. Happy very polite staff, great atmosphere. We were sat fairly central but this worked well in the end. The burgers, as expected, were fantastic. Cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, arranged perfectly. The fries were great too, recommend the topped fries. The regular fries are still great however. Drink choice average unfortunately with all beers at pint prices, but only can sizes - however, very large choice of drinks available. Felt similar with the lettuce wedge, more of a slice of lettuce than a significant wedge. Desert not spectacular but I think they know this hence the smaller choice of desert available and high price for desert. Would maybe go back if I was in the area, but not in any particular hurry.

Went for lunch with my two boys, one in a pushchair. The staff were really helpful and helped me carry the buggy downstairs. Food was delicious and my 11 year old said his chocolate milkshake was the best he'd ever had. The kids portions are really generous, 11 year old usually has adult meals now but the older kids menu was plenty big enough for him. There are some really nice cocktails as well as the amazing burgers.

So impressed! Food was SO DELICIOUS and came RAPIDLY. Experience was smooth and 10/10 overall.
We ordered Trash Browns and VGN Wachos as starters, and they came shortly after the drinks. Both were absolutely delicious, but especially the Trash Browns - the liquid cheese was INCREDIBLE! The Candy Floss cocktail made our tongues feel sophisticated; there was layers to it! Burgers were scrumptious, but we were quite full after the starters. Hand cut chips are offered instead of fries, and these come with Cajun seasoning.
Dedicated vegan spot on the menu, and most of the sides you could make vegan if requested!
They were obviously very busy and couldn’t seat all the big groups coming in (so book in advance if in a group), but they catered to as many people as possible!
Although they were busy, the staff looked relatively calm and content, which is always a green flag for a hospitality business.
It’s an underground place but there was good lighting and the interior had lots of open brick. We sat by an old fireplace which was cool! Seating was well arranged.
The waiters were super efficient and helpful (one provided takeaway boxes when we asked and was super friendly about it!)
Lots of stairs so I don’t know how wheelchair accessible it would be? Perhaps there’s another entrance?
All in all a wonderful experience and would love to return.

Tempted by the menu for this place as the photos looked insane! The food did deliver exactly as the pictures looked, but maybe we weren’t hungry enough as both meals seemed excessive! The taste and quality was great but after a while it all felt too greasy. The salad wedge although a simple item was absolutely delicious and needed to cut through the rest! Worth going but make sure you have an appetite

Amazing burger, excellent service from team (although manager who seated us didn't seem too happy about it).  Also got a shake, can't wait for the Glasgow venue.

We were a group of 11 on Saturday 12th Feb.
