We was looking forward to our visit giving there was so many good reviews but unfortunately we are not able to add to these. Our table was booked for 6 and we ordered the 2 hanging backs for £10. 1 was chicken and 1 was steak. Unfortunately when the both turned up the chicken was still raw in the middle and the steak was cold with almost raw mushrooms and peppers. The staff was very apologetic and took our meals away. When they came back they was this time cooked.properly but unfortunately the chips was overcook3d and looked like they had been taken from the bottom of the fryer from the day before. Also there was no sauce on the kebabs, which did not know we was supposed to get until we was told after our visit. The staff was extremly sorry for our experience and knock3d the price of the food of the total bill. We was home for 7pm. Sorry don't have any photos

Sat Eve 24th Definitely a different dining experience, but one worth repeating! Not an extensive menu, but nevertheless very innovative and quirky-Food, Waitress/Waiter Service and attention to detail very good. Music a bit loud but adds to the overall experience. Nothing to complain about, great experience-we will be dining there again.

Not been out in Burnley for a long time so wasn’t sure what to expect.... very pleasantly surprised. Very warm welcome, limited menu but the food was very good and tasty. The service was attentive. There was live music which was fab, not too loud with dinner, great tunes that everyone could enjoy. The volume went up when dinner was done. Thank you, super night- will be back!

Food very nice but cocktails let the experience down. I suggest that measurements in the cocktails are published on the menu. I was reluctant to order as what was actually in them wasn’t advertised. And I was disappointed as the cordial superceded the taste of any spirits! The hanging kebabs are worthy of a mention and the lovely staff there. Would I visit again, no. The menus needed changing as in dirty and sticky to the touch, not the choice.
