Been here many times for lunch. Sometimes it's very busy, sometimes not, so take your luck if you haven't booked. Big range of salads & menu updates reasonably often. Great staff. It can be noisy when full.

Cool atmosphere. Good good. Nice vibe. Don't leave without reading the walls. Really popular so could be a bit noisy.

Was nothing Special. Food was OK, atmosphere good, the political satire on wall fun. A bit chaotic the day we went but food and drinks came fast.

I go here regularly for weekday lunch with friends. Excellent range of salads. Ultra helpful staff. It can be a bit noisy when full.

Nice place, friendly staff, we had the journos platter and was enough to eat for the three of us and all nice and tasty. My 3 stars represents that I’d never return, the lack of a premium draft lager meant there was no draft for me to drink and I don’t like hoppy beers and macs gold and Steinlager are not my cup of tea.

Food reasonably generous, but bland. A bit like they have lots of salads/cooked lentils etc in the fridge, pop it in a plate, heat if necessary, throw a bit of meat on top, next please.

Great ambience - the puppets and political cartoons are unique. Good place for a drink and pub food.

Fairly rowdy pub with mostly fried food options. So friendly that one can converse with the people at the next table or at the bar. Nice Wellington vibe with locals. I would not really say that the bar food selection is very good, but people seem to eat it. The platter worked out well with beers.
