The beef bourguignon pie was lovely. The pastry was so flaky and light, not stodgy. The mash and veg were just right. Really enjoyed it.

Decent spot for a cold one. Sat outside, the shade was nice on a warm afternoon. Drinks were chilled and hit the spot. Nothing fancy, but does the job.

Came for the live music night and the vibe was spot on for a catch-up with friends. The garden was a nice touch too.

That steak pie was so good! Really rich and full of flavour. Perfect for a cosy catch-up with mates. The place had a nice buzz too, not too loud to talk.

Right in town centre, the Thai food here is lively and authentic. Staff were really friendly.

Popped in for a late lunch. The staff were so kind, even added a little birthday touch to the dessert plate, which was a nice surprise. The steak was cooked just right, and their house red was a solid, robust pairing for it. Portions are generous, you won&#39;t leave hungry.

The calzone is huge, easily enough for two. The dough was crispy outside, soft inside. The filling was generous, really packed in there. For the price, you get a very filling meal.

Service was really nice. Staff were friendly but not hovering, which I appreciate. Food came out hot and tasted good. Just a comfortable, straightforward place for a meal.

Loved that you can mix and match from the two different menus. The lamb chops from the grill section were spot on, really juicy and came with this minty sauce. A nice change from the usual.

Tuesday steak night is solid. The steak was cooked just right, and the staff were really helpful with the gluten-free options.

Popped in on a Thursday for their tapas deal. Three small plates and a drink for a twelve quid. The pork and apple casserole was proper home-cooked stuff. Solid.

Been coming here for years, and the Sunday buffet is always spot on. Just remember to book ahead &ndash; it gets packed.

Lovely spot for a drink. The beer selection is really good, with some local brews from Hook Norton brewery. I found a comfortable corner seat and the staff were very friendly. Just what I needed.

The staff really know their stuff. They helped me pick a sake that went perfectly with the grilled eel, explaining the pairing without being pushy. Unlimited green tea is a nice bonus, too.

Free parking right outside was a lifesaver for a quick pickup. The contactless payment was a nice, easy touch.

Took a chance on the drive, about an hour out. The service was spot-on, really attentive without being overbearing. Had the grilled octopus, it was cooked perfectly, tender with a nice char. Made the trip feel worthwhile.

Love that they have so many gluten-free and vegan choices! My friend who&#39;s vegan was thrilled. We shared a few plates, everything was cooked nicely and tasted good. Perfect spot for a casual catch-up.

The set menu had a nice variety, and everything came out so quickly. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted in each dish. The portion was generous too.

As a coeliac, I was really impressed by their separate allergy menu. Plenty of options, which is rare. The gluten-free pasta dish I had was cooked just right, not mushy at all. Made for a relaxed evening out.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The special fried rice is tasty, but my second plate was a bit oily. Service is fast, got me in and out. Good for a speedy bite.

Love that they&#39;re dog-friendly! The staff were so nice to our pup, and the rooms are spacious and clean. Perfect for traveling with a pet, makes everything so much easier.

The solo waitress managed a full house with real composure. Never rushed us, kept orders moving. Tough spot, handled it well.

Came for a 50th birthday. The space is huge, with different seating areas and even room for a DJ. They have a decent late license and a good range of non-alcoholic drinks. Staff were really nice.

Nice relaxed spot for a casual dinner. Portions are generous, which I appreciate. Prices are fair for what you get. The food was solid, though my main arrived just a touch cooler than I&#39;d like. Still, a good, straightforward meal.

The cheese and onion fries were the highlight. Got a sample portion just for asking. Crispy outside, soft inside, with a sharp cheese sauce and sweet caramelised onions. The portion sizes here are generous for the price, but those fries are the thing to get.

The mushroom risotto here is a real standout. So creamy and rich, with a deep earthy flavour from the mushrooms. Honestly, I could have just had a big bowl of that and been perfectly happy.

Managed to snag a table without a reservation. The vibe is so chilled, perfect for a relaxed catch-up.

Service was prompt and efficient even when busy. Tables cleared quickly. Staff attentive without being intrusive. Good for a business lunch when you need to be in and out.
