Been coming here for years, their waffles are the real deal. Always crispy on the outside, nice and fluffy inside. They don&#39;t drown it in sugar, which I like. The fresh fruit and ice cream on top are spot on.

The student meal deal is a nice touch. I got the large chips to share, and the portion was huge! Freshly fried, not greasy at all. A solid option when you&#39;re watching your budget but still want something decent.

The Sunday roast was spot on. The Yorkshire puddings were homemade and the meat was cooked just right.

The garlic mushrooms were a real treat, you could taste the freshness. Pairs nicely with a crisp white wine, which they had a decent selection of. A solid spot for a casual bite.

The staff here are always so lovely. Even on a packed Friday evening, they were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It&#39;s a real comfort to know you&#39;ll be looked after.

Been coming here for years, and they never miss. Had our wedding reception here too. The team just gets it right every single time, same great food and service. That consistency is why we keep coming back.

We were running a bit late for my daughter&#39;s 21st, but the staff were so chill about it. They didn&#39;t rush us at all, and even brought out her birthday cake with a smile. Made the whole evening really relaxed.

Tried the 30th anniversary menu. The onion and brie tart was good, rich flavour. Service was efficient, got us in and out for a 1:30 business lunch. The set price felt fair for the portion.

Service was spot on. Food arrived at a nice rhythm, never felt rushed or left waiting. Staff were friendly and knew the menu well, their suggestions were actually helpful. A smooth evening.

The patatas bravas were spot on. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and the sauce had a real kick to it. The crema catalana was good too, with a proper burnt sugar crust.

The vibe here is really nice, especially with the warm lighting and those big wooden tables. I can imagine it gets even better after dark. The snacks were decent, but honestly, I was just there for the atmosphere.

First time at a proper chip shop, and the staff were so patient explaining the menu. The baklava was lovely.

Caught the match here last night. It&rsquo;s a proper local, buzzing when the game&#39;s on. Loads of screens, so you won&#39;t miss a thing. The vibe is spot on for that.

Staff were really helpful with my friend&#39;s peanut allergy. They checked ingredients carefully and suggested safe options. Made the whole meal much less stressful.

The staff are so friendly. Tope helped us pick from the menu, which was really nice.

Decent selection of drinks. The craft beers were good, but the cocktails felt a bit pricey for what you get.

Service gets a bit slow when they&#39;re packed, but the staff are always polite and trying their best.

Came with a big group on a whim and they squeezed us in! The staff were so chill about it. Food was spot on &ndash; the macha karahi is a must. Perfect for a spontaneous dinner with mates.

Iqbal&#39;s a great host. The background music was just right, and his wine suggestion paired nicely with the evening.

Lovely village pub with a proper old-school feel. The low ceilings and dark wood make it cosy, even on a rainy Tuesday. Had a decent pint and a solid pie. Just the right kind of place to unwind.

Had a really nice evening. Ryan was super helpful when we got a bit mixed up with the order - sorted it out straight away. Friendly service made a difference.

Came in for a couple of pints. Honestly, the price on drinks is the main draw. Two rounds here felt like what I&#39;d pay for one in most other places around. Just a solid, no-fuss spot for that.

The monthly cabaret lunch is a steal at a tenner. Had the roast chicken, which was decent. The real star was the house red they suggested - it really worked with the food and the lively vibe. Fun to see people getting up to dance between courses.

Came for a casual lunch. The place is clean and the chairs are comfortable, plenty of space to spread out. For the price, you get a decent amount of food. It&#39;s a solid spot if you&#39;re not looking to spend too much.

Had a decent group dinner here with 12 people. The lamb was pretty good, just as we&#39;d hoped. Service was efficient and they handled our large table fine, though it did get a bit loud in our corner.

The steak and kidney pudding was a proper cosy pub classic. Perfect for a catch-up with mates on a chilly evening.

Clyde the dog is a lovely touch, makes the place feel really welcoming. But honestly, the portion sizes for the price? A bit on the small side. My fish and chips was tasty, just left me wanting a bit more.
