Popped in for lunch while on a work trip. The daily specials were pretty good, with some nice Italian touches. Proper home-cooked style, a decent change from the usual. Portions were generous, though the dining room was a bit warm.

The owner is lovely and the place is dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. Had a quick coffee and pastry, both were decent.

The beer selection is solid, and the atmosphere is genuinely warm. The decor is a bit rustic and could use a refresh in spots, but it didn&#39;t detract from a good evening. A reliable spot for a casual pint.

Steak and Stilton pie was the highlight. You can really taste the quality in the filling, proper local beef. The crust was a bit thick for my liking, but the flavour was spot on. Would order it again.

The onion rings were actually pretty decent. Crispy, not too greasy. The chips were alright too, just standard. But honestly, the whole thing felt a bit... thrown together? Like they weren&#39;t really trying.

Love the wood-burning stove here. Perfect for a quick, warm lunch on a chilly day. Food came out fast, which is what I needed. Got the soup and a sandwich. Solid spot for a quick bite.

The coffee is always good, and I love their brie and chorizo sandwich. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. It&#39;s a comfortable spot to relax for a bit.

Stopped by for a burger and a pint. The burger itself was decent, but the bun was a bit dry and cold. Service was friendly and quick though, which is what you want on a casual visit.

A quirky spot at the end of an old toll bridge. Their roast pork sandwich was the highlight for me&mdash;really well done. A popular stop for cyclists.

The steak tasting menu was a nice change of pace. The meat was cooked just right, which I really appreciated. My favourite part was the passion fruit soda from their soft drinks list &ndash; it felt fresh and not overly sweet. A good option if you&#39;re looking for something lighter.

Been coming here for their afternoon tea for years now. The scones are always warm, clotted cream&#39;s generous. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back. Portion&#39;s maybe a tiny bit smaller than last time, but still a solid treat.

Cosy spot with a decent drinks list. Sat outside for a bit, but it got chilly once the sun went down. Could really do with a few more patio heaters or umbrellas out there.

The dough was so light and airy, with that perfect char from the wood oven. Toppings were spot on, not oily at all. Just a really lovely, authentic pizza.

Hayley was a great waitress. She made sure we got our food quickly, which I really appreciated. Jaz&#39;s cocktails were a nice touch too.

Been coming here for years. Tried the quesadilla this time, on a server&#39;s tip. Much better than it used to be, flavours were spot on. Place is always tidy.

Been coming here for years. The outdoor seating in the square is just lovely on a sunny day, always feels like a little escape.

Been coming here for years. Rin and Maurice still take the time to walk you through the menu, just like they always have. That personal touch, it&#39;s why I keep coming back. Feels like visiting old friends.

Great spot for a quick bite with colleagues. The sharing platter was the star, loads to pick from. Service was fast and friendly. Got in and out in under an hour, perfect for a midweek catch-up.

Decent veggie options. They actually seem to put thought into the plant-based menu, which is nice. Had the mushroom risotto, solid choice.

Been coming here for years. It&rsquo;s always clean and has a nice buzz, good for a quick bite with mates. Food&rsquo;s reliable, nothing fancy. Gets a bit loud sometimes, but that&rsquo;s fine.

Spotlessly clean, which I really appreciate. The wash basin is a thoughtful touch for eating with your hands.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. It&#39;s a great place to celebrate special occasions.
