Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips is still the one to get. Properly crispy batter, nice flaky cod. A pint of Guinness alongside it just works. A solid local spot.

Really liked the food here. The service was spot on, friendly but not hovering. My favourite was the grilled octopus starter &ndash; tender, with a nice smoky char. A solid spot for a casual dinner.

Been coming here for years. The onion bajis are always spot on, and I like that they get their spices straight from India.

The coastal room&#39;s sea view is stunning, no doubt. But the bed is what really stands out - incredibly comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. Makes the whole stay.

Had a nice, relaxed lunch here. The food is always reliable and tasty - the grilled chicken salad was spot on today. Good spot for a casual bite that won&rsquo;t break the bank.

Loved the hand-painted art on the walls here. It&#39;s so detailed and really makes the place feel cosy and authentic. Just a lovely, warm spot to enjoy a meal.

Popped in for the 2-for-1 pizza deal. The mixed salami pizza was really solid, nice crispy base. Lasagne was decent too. Good for a casual bite, nothing fancy.

Decent lunch deal - pizza, salad and soup for a fair price. The pizza was a bit on the small side, but fine for a quick bite.

Came for a Valentine&#39;s dinner. The steak was lovely, but honestly, the portion size for the price felt a bit off. I left still a little peckish, which was a shame on a night like that.

Went with a few mates for a catch-up. The staff were so friendly, really made us feel welcome. Food looked great on the plate and tasted even better. Perfect spot for a relaxed group dinner.

The malai tikka was incredibly tender, marinated in a subtle, creamy sauce. The dal vat masu had a deep, slow-cooked flavour. Finished with a warm gulab jamun and pistachio ice cream, which was a great combination.

First time here and the menu had a lot of variety. Went for the seafood pasta and it was really good, fresh ingredients. Not a bad wait at all. Decent prices for a hotel spot.

Been coming here for years, and the sea bass is still the reason. The fish is always so fresh and flaky, with a light chilli seasoning. Paired with the garlic fried rice, it&#39;s a really satisfying meal that feels balanced. A solid choice when you want something tasty but not too heavy.

The fish and chips here are just what you need. The fish was cooked nicely, and the chips were spot on. The staff were really friendly, which made the whole thing easy and relaxed.

The wooden interior is so cosy and nostalgic. My friends and I stayed for ages after we finished eating, just chatting. No one rushed us out at all. Perfect for a chilled catch-up.

The pizza here is pretty good. Always comes out hot and tastes decent. A reliable spot for a late-night bite, though the crust could be a bit crispier for my taste.

The char siu was really good, very tender and flavourful. Probably the best I&#39;ve had in a while. The place was a bit noisy, but the food made up for it.

Love this little spot for catching up with mates. The sourdough with poached eggs and fries is my go-to, always hits the spot. It&#39;s just the right vibe for a relaxed chat.

Been coming here for years, and that all-day breakfast fry is always spot on. Just a simple, satisfying plate in a cosy spot. The coffee&rsquo;s good too. Keeps me coming back.

First time here, and I was really impressed by how spotless the place was. Even the bathrooms were gleaming. The food was lovely too.

The chicken red curry was the star. Really generous portion, packed with flavour. Lisa&rsquo;s service was so welcoming too. A solid spot for a casual dinner.

Service was friendly and quick. They&#39;re attentive but not in your face, which is nice. Portions are decent for the price, I left full without breaking the bank.

The BBQ eel bento was pretty good. The eel was nicely grilled and the sauce was decent. It&rsquo;s a solid, filling lunch option for the price. The side salad was a bit plain, but overall a fine meal.

The staff were very attentive about our nut and sesame allergy. They carefully explained the menu and which dishes to avoid. It made for a relaxed meal, which isn&#39;t always easy. The food itself was pretty good.

Popped in for a late-night kebab. The lamb was perfectly spiced and juicy, not dry at all. They got my order right even when it was busy. Solid takeaway spot.

The chicken fillet burger here is massive. Really juicy inside, crispy coating. Chips were decent, proper chunky ones. For the price, you can&#39;t go wrong.
