Stumbled upon this pub and came back three days straight. The ploughman&#39;s is huge, easily enough for two. Good value for the portion.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s still my go-to for a quiet coffee. Love that they keep the live music calendar fresh &ndash; always something new to check out. It&#39;s just a reliable spot.

The steak was cooked perfectly, and the tomato side was a lovely surprise. The chips were so good we even took some home!

Sadiya was really friendly and helpful, top-notch service. My husband thought his meal was spot on. We walked in without a booking and got a table for two straight away, but the place was filling up fast. Might be wise to book for bigger groups.

Giorgio and his team were so on top of things for our big group of 26! Everything came out hot and together, which made the night so much smoother.

Staff were really helpful with the wine list, which made choosing a lot easier. A nice, relaxed spot.

Food&#39;s clearly fresh and made to order. Had to wait a bit, but the portion was generous and tasted good. No complaints from me.

Good spot for a bite in town. Prices are fair and you get a decent plate of food.

Decent pub with a traditional vibe, quite spacious. Had a couple of drinks here before heading out. The atmosphere was pretty good for that. A bit on the pricey side for the area, but fine.

Ana was brilliant! She was so attentive to our table and everyone else&#39;s. Made our little catch-up feel really special.

Came for the sizzling skillet - the meat and veg were so generous and cooked just right. Really sets this place apart from other pubs in the area. A proper, hearty feed.

The old clock and photos of the local motor industry history are really cool. Gives the place a unique, historic feel.

Quick, friendly service and the food arrived piping hot. Their house red was a nice, easy-drinking complement to the meal.

Chicken Dhansak was the standout for me, really rich and flavourful. Paired it with a glass of Rioja they suggested &ndash; a surprisingly good match with the spices. The paneer dish was decent, but the wine pairing was the highlight.

A really nice spot for a catch-up with friends. I&#39;m not vegetarian, but everything here was so flavourful and fresh. The vibe was relaxed, perfect for a long chat. Just a heads up, it got a bit loud when it filled up!

The fish and chips here are solid. The batter is crispy and the chips are proper.

The Sunday roast was lovely, really hit the spot. But the quietness in there was the best part. Just a gentle hum, no loud music or shouting. Felt like a proper, peaceful Sunday.

Menu&#39;s got loads to choose from. Tried the chocolate lava cake for dessert. It was the right call. Quick service, got my order fast. Good spot for a quick bite.

The family room was spacious and spotless, perfect for our needs. Staff were polite and efficient. Good value for the location.

Service was on point even though they were packed. The open kitchen team moved like clockwork - you could tell they really knew their stuff.

The staff were so polite and attentive. They noticed I was checking the menu for vegetarian options and patiently explained the ingredients in a few dishes. Really appreciated that extra care. Made the whole meal feel relaxed.

Vegan options are solid. The southern fried &#39;chicken&#39; was convincing and tasty. Good portion for the price. Service was prompt.

First time coming to the dining room for afternoon tea. Staff was very welcoming and food was amazing. I would recommend this place.

Loved the Italian small plates concept! Perfect for sharing with a group. The burrata was so creamy, and that dark chocolate torte... wow. A bit on the pricey side for the portions, but the flavours were spot on. Great spot for a catch-up.

Our wedding dinner was perfect. Carlo and the team were so helpful from the start. The space was lovely for our small group. Food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Morgan was brilliant on the day, letting us decorate just how we wanted.

Ordered the lamb curry for collection. Good flavour, not too heavy. They included a couple of poppadoms on the house, which was a nice touch. Food was ready on time, easy to pick up. Solid option for a quick takeaway.
