Re visited this lovely restaurant for family birthday. With the atmosphere, decor and feel to the restaurant you could be anywhere in the world so is a great little find in Gillingham especially having lived in London my whole life and missing nice local restaurants especially family run. Service was great, nice pace and very attentive and friendly staff. We had too much food to post and no complaints at all, very tasty, big portions and great choices but the lasagne was delicious, cookie crumble sundae, the Greek wrap was also yummy and we had most starters also and no complaints at all. So tempted to try the famous dogs dinner next time but will have to not eat all day beforehand! Must recommend the selection of cocktails for sure! Thanks for making the birthday girl feel special also, was a lovely surprise at the end by the staff.

Really lovely restaurant with outstanding service and good food. I was there having lunch with 2 other friends and we have been well served with delicious food. I had the chicken goujons as a starter, some delicious olives and nice bread. As a main I had a hamburger - beautiful and tasty! The waitress treated us so nicely and the restaurant has Hollywood precious photos as part of the decoration. I definitely recommend it!

Great food here. The junior dog bowl meal was huge! Only slight problem is there wasn't any chicken burgers. Went again last night, managed to book a table (for 2) on the day. Food is still amazing, like the last time I went. But still don't sell Chicken burgers, really don't understand why? You're probably the only restaurant that sells burgers that don't sell chicken burgers

Our favourite restaurant of all time, every time we go for a meal we always say we will go somewhere different but always end up here, as no where else compares. The food is always absolutely amazing with such a huge variety! Thank you to the staff who are always so kind and friendly the atmosphere is lovely! Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Went here for a birthday and the food was to die for! Amazing service with lovely staff and a good atmosphere. I had the schnitzel (strongly recommend), garlic mushrooms and biscoff cheesecake. I’m definitely coming back here again! Thank you so much for a nice evening.
