"While waiting for our order the store decided to make pizzas and hand them out to waiting customer, this act shocked many of us and is the reason people will continue to go back. The toasted steak special as well as the fish and chips parcel was freshly prepared and perfectly spicied. I have been visiting this establishment for 20+ years and the quality and service has remained on par if not improved. This store will have my continued support for years to come."
