I&#39;m still thinking about the chocolate dessert we shared last week. The richness was just right, not overly sweet. You could tell they used quality ingredients. A real treat for a health-conscious indulgence.

The breakfast menu is pretty good, and the lattes and iced matcha came out fast. The space inside is actually nicer than it looks online. Service was friendly, though the tables are a bit close together.

Had a quiet Monday afternoon cocktail and spotted their tapas deal. The food was really good, and the staff were lovely. The background music was at a perfect level for chatting.

A proper pint of Guinness, served just right. The fish and chips were hot and fresh, with crispy batter and flaky fish. A classic done well.

Solid burger, but the rotisserie chicken is the move. Quick service, got my order in and out fast. Perfect for a lunch break.

The beer garden is a lovely addition to this place, especially on sunny days. It&#39;s a great spot to relax with friends over drinks.

The Sunday set menu is a great value. I went for the two-course option. The roasted chicken was the highlight for me&mdash;the skin was perfectly crisp and the meat was so juicy and tender. Really appreciated how fresh the seasonal vegetables tasted alongside it. A lovely, relaxed meal.

Been a regular for years, never disappointed. The soft shell salted chilli crab is still the one for me. Portions are generous, you definitely get what you pay for. The fried seaweed is a nice side.

The thali plates are generous, and I appreciated the fresh, vibrant ingredients. Perfect for someone who watches what they eat.

The scallops were so fresh, and the venison was just right. A couple of things were a touch salty for my taste, but honestly, that didn&#39;t take away from the lovely evening. The presentation was really beautiful too.

Nice spot. Food was solid. Staff friendly. Just sat by the door. It kept opening. Drafty. Next time picking a table further in.

Popped in for the Sunday lunch deal. Roast was spot on, proper Yorkshire pud and all. The dining room is massive and really clean, felt nice and relaxed. Good feed for the price.

Been coming here for years for their fish and chips. The fish is always fresh, you can really taste it. Portions are decent for the price, though the chips could be a bit more generous. Still, it&#39;s my go-to.

The butter chicken is so rich and creamy, perfect for sharing. The naan comes out warm and fluffy every time. Portions are huge for the price, which is great when you&#39;re with a group. Just be prepared to take some home!

Been here a few times now. The lamb shank is always tender, falls right off the bone. Portions are decent, and it&#39;s not too pricey for this part of town. Solid spot.

Nice spot for a first visit. The staff were really pleasant and the whole vibe was relaxed. Parking was definitely easier here than at their Victoria Square branch, which was a plus.

Great spot right in the centre. The food was tasty, but it took a while to come out. The fish and chips were crisp and hot, just how I like them.

Fun pay-by-weight concept, but watch those toppings &ndash; the bill can sneak up on you. A nice treat now and then.

Decided to pay the small fee to eat in. The area is tiny but cosy. Perfect for a quick lunch. Got my food and was out in 20 mins. Exactly what I needed.

Been here a few times. It&#39;s massive, screens everywhere showing the match clearly. Good range of beers on tap. The kids&#39; play zone is huge, keeps them busy for ages. Decent spot for a casual family meal.

Solid chip butty. The butter on the bap is a proper touch, makes a difference. Not many places bother with that. Quick service for a lunch stop.

The staff here are so lovely. They remembered my name from a previous visit and genuinely seemed happy to see us. Really made the evening feel a bit more personal.

Booked the upstairs function room for a birthday. Selina and her team handled everything smoothly. The food was good, plenty of it, and they sorted gluten-free options without any fuss. The space itself is quite quirky. A practical choice for a group event.

I and my family had a wonderful time for my Dad&rsquo;s birthday last week. The staff could not have been friendlier and they were very happy to fulfil our special requests to make sure my Dad&rsquo;s birthday was a success. The food was absolutely incredible and the portion sizes were very generous. We will definitely be back!

Sam and the team always make you feel welcome. Popped in for a bite and ended up staying a while. Food&rsquo;s never greasy, just fresh and simple. Good spot to unwind.

First time here and the pizza crust was the standout. So crisp, almost like a cracker but still chewy inside. The sauce was fresh too, a nice touch. A solid spot.

The breakfast here is really good. I just love the vibe in the back bar area, it&#39;s got this relaxed, cosy feel. Perfect spot to unwind, even if you&#39;re not watching a game.
