Great staff, food is always consistently good. A real shame it’s closing for another chicken place.
We came in Monday lunch with my toddler. The staff were great, friendly and accommodating to a demanding toddler.
Really sorry to see this place closing. It’s a reliable meal, staff have always been lovely.

A regular customer at AI since it opened, excellent food, great service by the friendly staff who we have gotten to know with going here for so long, As ive got quite a few allergies they always go out of their way to cater for those needs and if they cant they ask the chefs to make something that I can have. Would gladly recommend this AI as its so clean, great food and lovely staff
