The owner&#39;s been here for decades, you can tell he loves it. He actually came out to chat and asked how we liked our pasta, then tweaked the sauce a bit for us. Just a really nice, personal touch.

Been coming here for years for their cooked breakfast. The kippers with poached eggs are my go-to. The smokiness is just right, and you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Coffee is always good, too. A solid, reliable spot.

Friendly staff, they even gave me a taste of the pasta sauce they were simmering while I waited for my table. It was a nice touch, made the wait feel shorter. The sauce was rich and had a good depth of flavour.

The shisha was so smooth! We had a big group and there was plenty of space to just chill. The chai was freshly made, which was a nice touch. A really relaxed spot.

Lovely staff, but the portion size for the main was a bit smaller than I expected for the price. Still, the food was really good. Just left wanting a bit more on the plate for a Friday treat.

The Caesar salad was so fresh, the lettuce crisp and the dressing light. The truffle parmesan fries were a nice treat, though a bit heavy for my usual lunch. A good spot for a simple, quality meal.

Been here a few times. Staff are always friendly, no fuss. My kid got a balloon last visit, which was a nice touch. They remember regulars.

Friendly staff, and they had treats for my dog which was a nice touch. He seemed pretty happy with them. Good spot if you&#39;re out with your pet.

The fritters are a must, and they pair nicely with a crisp lager. Food&#39;s always hot since it&#39;s cooked to order.

Claire was so lovely and attentive at lunch. The staff here really make you feel looked after. Had a nice, relaxed meal - a welcome break from the usual grab-and-go places.

The staff were really attentive and discreetly arranged a birthday surprise for my friend, which was a lovely touch. They were also super helpful with my dietary restrictions.

Lovely, cosy spot. The staff were really friendly and efficient, which made the whole evening so relaxing. We didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. Just a really nice, comfortable meal.

A solid independent spot. Coffee was very good, the staff are friendly and quick. Food was tasty, though the pastries can be a bit small for the price. A nice place to stop in.

The pakora here is always spot on, crispy and flavourful. Had a mix-up with a delivery once, but they sorted it quickly and were really decent about it. Good to see.

Proper old-school pub. Roast beef was spot on and generous. Gets busy but that&#39;s part of the charm.

The staff were so lovely, really made us feel welcome. Food was spot on, especially the lamb shank - fell right off the bone. Prices are fair, which is a nice surprise for the area.

The ordering system is a bit different, you order at the counter first. But the staff were really nice explaining it. Food came out super quick after that. Good portions for the price, felt like a solid deal.

Friendly welcome when we arrived. The chicken and rice soup was a solid choice on a chilly day. Sandwich was fine, brown bread cut thick. Everything felt homemade and comforting.

Decent food and the app ordering is handy. Fed three adults and a child for just over &pound;30, which is pretty good.

Lovely atmosphere and the staff were so attentive even on a busy Saturday. The menu has some nice options.

Been coming here for years, and the afternoon tea is always spot on. Scones are still warm, clotted cream generous. It&rsquo;s my go-to for a quiet catch-up. Just wish they&rsquo;d bring back that raspberry jam.

Carrot cake was the highlight. Moist, not too sweet. Coffee was decent. Nice spot to stop on a coastal drive. Clean and cozy.

The breakfast burrito was spot on, really fresh ingredients. But my partner&#39;s avocado toast didn&#39;t show up with the rest of the order. A bit annoying when you&#39;re hungry. Delivery for the early slots can be hit or miss.

The service was spot on. Staff were friendly but kept it professional, which I liked. They were attentive without hovering, and the timing felt just right. A nice change from places that try too hard.

First time trying their Bakewell tart. Simple but really good. The pastry was flaky and the jam had a nice tartness. Prices are decent too, especially with the daily specials.

The jalebi was the standout. Perfectly crisp on the outside, with that warm, syrupy centre. Staff were really friendly and let me try a piece before ordering.

The lamb karahi was incredible, so rich and tender. The sweet chicken wings had this sticky, caramelised glaze that was just perfect. Honestly, I&#39;m already thinking about when I can go back for more.
