5 Star incredible experience here all because of the most lovely staff member ever! Didn’t catch his name but he worked Friday 19th of December night and it was his first week. Young man. He was honestly the loveliest waiter and such a natural at his job! Will be back. Thank you to whoever made our evening so pleasant!

Great experience! Food is absolutely delicious with great options. The loaded fries, cheesy garlic bread and lamb rump were amazing! Couldn’t fault it. Service and atmosphere is great. Definitely recommend and will be back to try more of the menu and drinks!

I enjoy Fergus and usually love their pizza, which is why today was disappointing. I was dining with two others who were served while my pizza sat on the counter — I could see the chef ringing the bell but no server came. I eventually had to collect it myself from the counter as it appeared no server was going to grab it and by then it was a bit soggy. Hoping this was just an off day, as I’ve had great experiences here before.
