    We took friends there to taste your amazing steak pie. We were informed it’s not available. We asked then for the chicken pie of which we were informed it will take over an hour to serve. We had to eat what we didn’t plan for. We ordered steak which was then overcooked and not medium. The Prego steak roll was in fact a steak burger no prego sauce so not sure why it’s called a prego steak roll. We have been to this establishment a few times hence the return with international friends but the experience this time around was not what was expected and we were left quite embarrassed after raving about how good this place is.
