Didn’t get his name, but the guy working there tonight was amazing. He gave us incredible service, and was a lovely guy. The food was fanatic, and warm. There was a homeless guy who was willing to pay a pound for a meal and drink. However, this guy gave it for free. I offered to pay for it, and he wouldn’t let me. This guy was incredible, and a respectful business man. Will definitely be coming back. 5*
