The staff here are so warm and chatty, really makes the whole place feel cosy and relaxed. Just a nice, friendly vibe all round.

Katie was so helpful with the gluten-free menu! The GF pasta I had was actually really nice, not dry at all. It&#39;s a relief to find a spot that takes it seriously.

Proper old-school pub feel. The roast beef was spot on, really tender. Staff were friendly and quick. Just a bit pricey for a Sunday lunch, but you get what you pay for I suppose.

Had a last-minute birthday for a friend here. The manager was so kind, squeezed a table for 12 of us in right before closing. Food came quickly and was tasty - perfect for a big group that just wants to chat.

Their ice cream is a real treat. The texture is so smooth, and I love that it&#39;s not overly sweet. You can really taste the fresh ingredients. Went back for more the very next day!

Quick seating, service was chirpy and attentive. Had the steak frites - steak cooked as requested, fries were decent. Solid for a business lunch near the office.

Caught the match here last night. Love that they have the big screens for sports but it never gets too loud. The pool table and darts area is tucked away nicely, so you can actually have a conversation over your food. Solid spot.

Popped in for a quiet drink by the log fire. The snug was perfect for it. They had a decent selection of whiskies, which was a nice surprise. The one I tried paired well with the setting. A bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere.

The Sunday buffet is a solid choice, with a nice variety of dishes. I went around midday and it was pleasantly quiet &ndash; the space felt really relaxed and airy, which I appreciated.

Lovely spot for a coffee after a walk in the park. The terrace overlooking the lake is so peaceful.

Nice to see the place got a refresh. The new look is pleasant, more modern. Staff were polite. Had a decent glass of red with the steak, it worked well together. Toilets were spotless, which is always a plus.

Ordered the French onion soup, steak baguette, and madeleines for delivery. The steak baguette was huge, really generous with the meat. The soup portion was decent too. For the total price, it felt like a proper meal, not just a snack. Probably the best value I&#39;ve found around here.

Paul was a great waiter, really on top of things. The sirloin steak and Canadian burger were both cooked just right. Everything came out hot and timed well. Made for a relaxed evening.

Very friendly team. The people serving us were stars. The food was very good - couldn&#39;t fault anything. It was a really relaxing and nice night out

A solid pub with a great beer selection. Found a spot in the outdoor seating area, which was perfect for a quiet pint. The inside felt a bit dated, but that&rsquo;s part of the traditional charm. Exactly what I was after.

Stumbled in for a coffee, ended up staying for lunch. They have a whole separate gluten-free menu, which is great. Even the scones were an option. Staff knew their stuff, no fuss at all.

Lovely spot in a traditional building. It&#39;s so nice to see a classic tea room like this still going. The scones were fresh and warm, and the service was very friendly. A very comfortable place to sit and relax for a while.

The staff handled our big group really well, which was great. I did notice a couple of mix-ups with the orders, but they were very polite about sorting it out.

Panko fish and chips next time, sounds interesting. The fish is always moist, chips never dry. Quick bite, good portion for the price. Lunch sorted.

Cosy spot, staff were really helpful explaining the unfamiliar dishes. My partner&#39;s fish thali looked fantastic. My mango lassi was spot on. Just a nice, relaxed meal.

Julie and Alun were super helpful with my gluten-free options. Quick to suggest a few things, sorted me out fast. Made the whole lunch break easy.

Stopped by quite late, around 10pm. They were still open and very welcoming, which was a relief. It&#39;s nice to find a spot that&#39;s so accommodating with their hours and service.

Their masala dosa is served on a proper metal tray with the chutneys in little bowls. That&#39;s the real deal. 👍

The Massaman curry here is some of the best Thai curry I&#39;ve had. The sauce is rich and creamy, with a really deep, layered flavour. The beef was tender and the potatoes soaked up the curry perfectly. Just the right level of heat.

Stayed overnight. Staff were friendly. The eggs benedict at breakfast was spot on, runny yolk and all. Partner&#39;s pancakes looked decent too. Solid start to the day.

Had a solo dinner here. The table staff were outstanding, really made me feel welcome. Food was lovely, especially the lamb shank. A bit on the pricier side, but a solid meal.
