Left feeling completely stuffed and looking forward... More

Went here last night with my hubby and friends, nice Cosey restaurant, not to big. Staff were very friendly and attentive, We had the starter to share which had a good variety and enough for the 4 of us. I had sloppy chicken for my main and it was DELICIOUS! The others I was with said there mains were equally... More

Went there on Saturday night with friends. We had mixed starter for four, then we had Blackened chicken, Sloppy Chicken (better than it sounds), Fried chicken and a combo. Food tasted beautiful, service was excellent and very reasonable. £84 inc 2 bottles of wine. Would highly recommend

I have eaten 3 times this year at The Mexican and can recommend it to anyone who enjoys Mexican Food. The quality is as good as I have eaten anywhere. It is extremely well run by a husband and wife team with Catriona in charge of front house and Graham in command of the kitchen and is a pleasure to... More

My food arrived cold, it had to be sent back, it arrived back quickly and hot, I'm guessing it was micro-waved. My partners food arrived hot and no complaints with his. Such a... More
