Birthday lunch, the ribeye was perfect. Just melted. The owner and their daughter were so lovely to chat with, really made it feel special.

The steak was cooked well, service was attentive without being intrusive. Atmosphere is relaxed, good for a business dinner. A bit on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for.

Lovely traditional pub in the Old Town, perfect spot after a stroll by the harbour. The atmosphere is so warm and cosy. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made for a very relaxed visit. My only small note is that the bench seating was a bit hard after a while.

Been coming here for years. The prices are still fair, portions are generous. Hard to find that combo in a place with this much history.

Decent hot breakfast, good value. Staff were quick and friendly. Tea refills kept coming without asking, which was nice. It was quiet on a Sunday morning, just what we wanted. The bacon was a bit overdone for my taste, but everything else was spot on.

The fish and chips are cooked to order, so there&#39;s always a short wait. Worth it though &ndash; the batter is really light and crispy, and the fish is fresh. A solid choice for a quick bite.

The set menu is a great deal. The portions are generous, and I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients in the pasta were.

The staff were so warm and genuine. It&rsquo;s the kind of place that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. I wish it wasn&rsquo;t such a trek from my flat, honestly.

Chicken tikka dansak was spot on. Perfect quick bite during a busy day. Got my order in under 10 minutes, which is exactly what I needed. The portion was decent for the price. Will be back when I&#39;m in a rush again.

A proper country pub, very cosy. The traditional food is well-prepared, with some nice touches. Had a decent Sunday roast, the beef was pretty good. A bit on the pricey side, but a fine spot for a relaxed meal.

Been grabbing takeout from here for years, it&#39;s our go-to. The crispy chilli beef is always spot on, never greasy. They just get it right.

The chicken chilli masala was the one. Sauce had depth, chicken was tender. Spice level just right. That&#39;s all I needed.

That steak was something else. Cooked exactly how I asked, and the flavour was incredible. Honestly one of the best I&#39;ve had since moving here. The rest of the meal was solid, but that steak is the reason I&#39;ll be back.

A really nice spot for anyone with dietary restrictions. The menu has plenty of options, and I tried the vegan banana loaf cake&mdash;it was lovely. The family-run atmosphere makes it feel very welcoming and relaxed.

A lovely experience for myself and my friend.  The setting had a lovely Christmassy feel and backdrop. The choices on the menu were good and the food beautifully presented. The service was just right we were not hurried and the staff were helpful.

The food always tastes fresh, which is what I look for. The salmon salad had crisp greens and the fish was nicely cooked. Portions are generous too.

The owner was so kind and checked on us often. There was some work being done in the kitchen, but they let us know what was happening. The wait was fine. My food was good, just could have been a little warmer when it arrived.

Always grab takeaway from here with mates. Food&rsquo;s always hot when we pick it up, and the owners are lovely. Never had to wait around for it. Perfect for a quick, easy night in.

The pub itself is gorgeous, really lovely setting. I was pleased to see they had a few lighter options on the menu. The salad I ordered was fresh, with crisp greens and a nice variety of vegetables. No table service, but that was fine for a quick lunch.

Always a lively spot. The unlimited fries are a nice touch, and the food is reliably good. Had a decent Pinot Noir with the steak, though the wine list could use a few more interesting options.

Looks unassuming from outside, but the food&#39;s pretty good. The dhansak had a nice, building heat to it.

Came for a birthday dinner. Victor and Valya looked after us well, very friendly. Food was tasty, no complaints there. It was a nice, relaxed evening.

Had my friend&#39;s party in the private room. It was so nice to chat properly even with the main bar being packed for the rugby.

Been coming here for years now. What keeps me coming back is the ale selection &ndash; always something new on tap, and it&rsquo;s always spot on. Properly kept, never a bad pint. That consistency is hard to find.
