    Absolutely love what you lot do! Cocktails are the best in town, pizzas even more delicious than last time. Service is always great, amazing to see young energetic staff excited about hospitality. Shout out to the lad who served us last night and made us 'off menu' cocktails - even ran to grab more fresh oranges to make them. Seriously, keep doing what you do guys. I'll be raving about you to everyone I know... thanks Wes & team!

    Good they let us in earlier than the booking as was pouring with rain. However the tortilla wraps were not average normal size like I was told,I picked 1 which turned out tiny and I got 3 king prawns in it. I asked for a crabbies ginger beer and got a fever tree ginger,not nearly the same thing. Music was too loud !

    Visited for the first time today because one of our group prefers simple food. It was perfect for all of us. The nachos were amazing and the pizzas were delicious. I loved the half and half where you could choose two pizza types and got half a pizza of each. Lovely environment and cheerful, friendly and helpful staff. Great value too. Will return. Very highly recommend.

    The food and drinks were amazing, really enjoyed it. The place was quite loud as there were some probably late teens that were causing quite some noise. The decor of the place is lovely. But place would benefit from using proper table cleaning chemicals as it makes the the wood sticky using just regular spray. Also staff clearly wasn’t talking to each other as we have been approached by at least 4 different people with the same questions in the lapse of 5 minutes. Good service is important but it felt rushed and slightly pushy to make up our mind. The attitude of the staff is however really helpful and friendly so that is a big positive.

    Yummy quick pizza and cocktails for dinner at @verve_bse - my husband particularly liked the Bob Marley pizza 🍕 and I appreciated the non alcoholic PG Passiontini cocktail 🍸 We found the music a little loud for an early ish dinner but appreciate that this is the type of venue it is.
