There's something to please everyone on the menu, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the cocktails are fairly good (passion fruit daiquiri's are lovely!) and the prices are pretty reasonable. My mum raves about the calzones (in all fairness, I think it's the only time she's seen one out with a takeaway, let alone eaten one), middle child loves the burgers (or at least one in particular). Youngest child and Eldest child (me) are quite happy to try something different every time we go as you can't really go wrong. Occasionally there can be something that feels like it was just pre-packaged and re-heated but usually the quality of the food is pretty good and I don't think we've ever had a meal that's sprung a complaint in here (other than the youngest accidentally getting crushed biscuits in a sundae once but she was pregnant and cranky so I think we can let that one go...). Stirling branch loses a few points as regardless of the time you arrive and order, everything takes an absolute age. The waiting staff are all lovely but really, it's not a place I'd go if I was in any kind of hurry.Otherwise, it's spot on.
