"Amazing kebab last night. Was arriving late from Brittany and expected it to be closed. The guy cranked up the fire and got that leg spinning to slice off some freshly cooked meaty goodness. The salad tasted pretty good too considering it was about to close for the night. So good to see these places open late before the weekend. Life saver! Cheers guys. It definitely bit the spot."
