The Sunday roast sharing board was a proper feast, easily fed three of us. Loved the crispy roast potatoes and the beef was spot on. Stuart and the team were really attentive. Good portion for the price.

The beef pie was the star for me. Flaky pastry, rich filling, just spot on. Honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The rest of the meal was nice, but that pie made the visit.

The sticky toffee pudding was a real highlight. Portions are generous, so you definitely get your money&#39;s worth.

Been coming here for years. The bao buns are always spot on. Menu changes keep it from getting boring, though sometimes you miss an old favourite.

Destiny and Vida were so attentive. I really appreciated how they took the time to explain the sourcing of the local greens in my salad. It made the whole meal feel more considered. Just a lovely, welcoming touch.

Popped in for lunch on a Monday. The souffl&eacute; was just as good as I remember. Light and airy, with that perfect, delicate crust. A lovely little treat.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The Greek-style rigatoni was spot on, just what I needed. Dog-friendly with outdoor seating, perfect for a fast bite. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Been coming here for years. Their afternoon tea is a nice twist on the usual. The savoury bits are always spot on, and you definitely won&#39;t leave hungry.

The milkshakes are spot on. Thick, not too sweet, just right. Been coming here for years and they&#39;re always consistent. The rest of the menu looks good, need to branch out next time.

Had the jerk chicken with a couple of custom tweaks, which they handled fine. It&#39;s proper home-style cooking, really hearty. My partner&#39;s plate was cleared way before mine, so I guess that says it all. A solid meal.

Popped in for a coffee while walking around. The place feels really cosy and lived-in, like a proper local spot. Barista was sound, got my flat white sorted quick. Prices are decent for what you get.

Came for the fish and chips. The batter was properly crispy all over, and the homemade curry sauce was a nice touch. Chips stayed hot till the last bite. Solid.

The lamb shank was cooked perfectly, falling off the bone. The red wine jus had a deep, rich flavour that really worked with the meat. It&#39;s a bit pricey for the portion size, but the taste was spot on.

Cosy spot in Penrith. The scone with that Cumberland mustard had a nice little kick to it. Soups were tasty too. Good for a quick warm-up.

The breakfast for two was a good size and around &pound;12, which felt reasonable. I appreciated the fresh ingredients, especially the tomatoes and avocado. They tasted really vibrant.

Love the quirky decor here. Staff are really friendly too. Their 6% pub IPA is solid, and the fridges have some interesting finds.

The scones were warm and crumbly, and the tea was just right. Good value for a quick stop. Had a small mix-up with the order, but they fixed it straight away.

The dairy-free snacks were a nice find, and the staff helped me pick some out. The raspberry tea was lovely on a rainy day.

The staff here are so on it! Even when it&#39;s absolutely rammed, they&#39;re still checking in and keeping things moving. Felt really looked after, which is a big plus when you&#39;re catching up with mates.

The Berlin burger was huge on that homemade bun, really hit the spot. The falafel platter looked great at the next table too. Just a solid, no-fuss meal.

The burritos are huge! Couldn&#39;t finish mine, but the spicy sauce was so good. Perfect for sharing with a friend.

After our hike, the steak and ale pie was a proper comfort meal. The Stilton gave it a nice sharp kick. The menu looked good, but honestly, I was too hungry to even think about the other options.

Been here a few times for a quick lunch. The breakfast burger is my usual - patty, sausage, bacon, and a runny egg. Fries and salad are fine. The homemade mayo with onions is really good. Gets the job done.

Been here twice now. The food&#39;s really good. Friday evenings are packed, but Saturday mornings are much more relaxed.

Been ordering takeaway here for ages. The portions are always generous, packed with meat and veggies.

The fish platter was generous and fresh, went perfectly with the viognier/grenache we ordered. The espresso was a bit weak for my taste, but that&#39;s a small thing. Really liked the buzz in the room.

The sandwiches here are so good. I had the one with slow-roasted pork and pickled onions, the bread was perfectly toasted. Service was quick and friendly too.
