As a non-student, I was really pleased with my lunch here. The food was cooked well and looked lovely on the plate. The best part was the price&mdash;it felt like a proper meal without the usual cost. A very comfortable spot for a quiet, easy lunch.

The garlic naan here was the star. Really crispy, not soggy like you sometimes get. For the price, I was expecting maybe two pieces, but it was just one decent-sized one. Still, the flavour was spot on.

The staff here always seem genuinely happy, which is nice. It makes the whole place feel more relaxed. Food always arrives hot, too. For the price, it&#39;s a solid spot.

Sunday roast was spot on, the gravy had this rich depth to it. Just a really solid, comforting meal for a lazy afternoon. Staff were lovely and attentive.

Been coming here for years, and the mussels starter is why. Always spot on. Grabbed a table in the marquee last Friday&mdash;it&#39;s a good setup for busy nights, even if it gets a bit draughty sometimes.

Stopped for coffee and cake. Really appreciated the good range of gluten-free and dairy-free options. The staff were lovely and helpful.

I chose the Hedgehog as I wasn&#39;t from around the area and was going on a date. I saw previous ratings and thought it looked beautiful. It was, It was a perfect relaxed setting with lots of character. I cant wait to come back, especially in the summer as the grounds looked lovely. Thank you for a service we had a wonderful time. We will definately be returning. Staff were extremely polite and attentive, Food was beautiful, Great prices, I downloaded the app so I was lucky enough to receive 50% off mains. Thank you.

Always bustling, which I like. Menu&#39;s huge, took a while to decide. The pasta I had was solid, hearty portion. Saw a proposal happen at the next table &ndash; nice moment, not too loud. Decent spot for a casual meal.

Popped in for a quick lunch, the place was packed. Staff were really on it though, got my order sorted fast and checked in without being pushy. Made a busy visit feel easy.

Service was quick and the staff were nice. The food actually came out warm, which was a nice surprise. My pasta was just the right temperature, not lukewarm like you sometimes get.

Nice spot for a sunny afternoon pint. Sat out front watching the world go by. They had a guy playing acoustic guitar later on, which was a nice surprise. The back area by the little pond is quieter if that&#39;s more your thing.

The ingredients tasted so fresh, you could tell they were carefully sourced. Really appreciated the relaxed pace, it let us enjoy the evening.

Asked for a quiet table with easy access, and got exactly that!The staff were welcoming and helpful and the food was a very good standard and generous portions.

Loved the old beams and traditional decor. Such a cosy spot for a quiet drink.

Booked for a big group birthday (18 of us!) with a pre-order. Everything came out so fast, which was perfect when you&#39;re trying to catch up with everyone. Luke at the bar was a legend, kept the whole table laughing. Made the night easy.

Came for a birthday dinner. They brought out a small cake with a card, which was a nice surprise. Honestly, the gesture was lovely, but the main courses themselves felt a bit small for the price you pay.

Proper little backstreet local, exactly what you want. Cozy, friendly vibe and they&#39;re happy to have dogs in. The jukebox is a great touch, had a good laugh picking tunes. Just a really nice, unpretentious spot for a pint.

The chicken parmesan was really good, but what stood out for me was the Imran&#39;s Special. The chicken was so fresh and tender, and the vegetables tasted like they were just picked. A nice, simple meal that felt good to eat.

The bottomless brunch is such a solid deal. My mimosas were topped up before my glass was even half empty! The truffle fries were the real star for me, perfectly crispy.

Lovely old building, really well kept. Plenty of space inside and out, which is nice. We sat in the garden area, very peaceful for a weekday lunch. The food was fine, but honestly, the setting is the main draw here.

The new owners have done a nice job here. It feels brighter and cleaner now, which is a big plus. The staff were really friendly when I popped in for a quick lunch. Prices are fair too.

Decent cheesecake but the jerk chicken and ribs were a letdown. The Thursday freebie is a nice touch though.

The bread basket was a standout, easily the best I&#39;ve found locally. Worth the visit for that alone.

Great food, and staff, big mention to Adrian and John both of whom were very helpful and attentive. All meals were beautifully presented and great quality. Well worth a visit.

The Zinger sandwich is my new favourite. The chicken was so crispy on the outside and stayed really juicy inside. A server saw me looking at the menu and suggested it &ndash; glad I listened!

Been coming here for years, and the vegan menu is a solid move. Keeps things consistent for my partner. The vegan pizza tonight was spot on, same as last time.

The steak and ale pie. The pastry is crisp all the way through, no sogginess. The filling is generous, good chunks of meat in a rich gravy. Had it with the mash, which was fine, but the pie itself is the main event. A proper, filling meal.
