Started work around the corner and was told about this place. Decided to give them a go. Impressive selection and range with a great bunch of people. Happy to go back. They're good people serving good food. Can't ask for more in an industrial estate. They're much appreciated and serve roasts, stews, rice and the usual take away fair.
