The food is consistently good, which is what keeps me coming back.

Pulled pork burger was top. Even the side salad was fresh and crisp, not just an afterthought. Shows they care about the details.

The kids&#39; activity packs were a nice touch. Kept the little ones busy while we waited for our mains. Service was prompt, food was solid. Good for a family meal.

Nice quiet Sunday dinner. They swapped out a dish for us without any fuss when we mentioned it wasn&rsquo;t quite right. Quick and easy.

Tried the Taste of India pizza and tandoori chicken. The pizza had a really nice, rich sauce. The space is great, lots of natural light and comfy booths.

Nice spot for a quick lunch. Staff were friendly and efficient, got my order out fast. The chicken wrap was fresh and hit the spot. Good for when you&#39;re in a rush.

A family-run Italian spot with a nice grappa list. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable for a longer dinner.

Loved the old-world feel here. The wood beams and the open fire are so cozy, perfect for a quiet pint. Beer selection was solid. Just a really nice, relaxed spot.

The staff handled our group of 13 with ease. The wine list had some nice options that went well with the festive curry.

Lovely spot by the canal for lunch. The outdoor seating was perfect on a sunny day, really helped us unwind. Food was decent, though my salad felt a bit over-dressed. Still, a nice place to relax.

The staff were so lovely with our big group! The manager kept checking in, and they handled our separate bills without any fuss. Made it a really easy night out with friends. The space is nice and bright after the reno too.

Stopped in for a quick pint after a late meeting. The ale was spot on, properly kept and poured. Staff were efficient. A solid, no-fuss spot to unwind for an hour.

Friendly staff, decent buzz even on a Saturday night. Food arrived hot, which is a plus. The wine list had a few interesting local options that paired nicely with the steak. A solid spot if you care about the drinks.

The riverside garden is lovely. The outdoor heaters made it so cosy for a drink.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. They handled our large group with ease, and even prepared a special dish for a dietary need without any fuss. It made the whole evening very relaxed.

The duck breast was a proper rare, so tender. Michael was spot on with the service, knew when to check in. A solid meal.

The staff were so friendly and helpful when we couldn&#39;t decide on a drink. Made the whole visit really relaxed.

Got a table fast on a busy pre-Christmas Saturday. Tristan sorted it. Samra was a lovely, smiling waitress. Food came out quick too - just what we needed. Cozy spot for a quick bite.

The steak and ale pie was so good, the meat just fell apart. My crispy Thai beef salad was spot on - pink in the middle with this really tasty sauce. Perfect for a chilled dinner with mates.

Hubert was brilliant with the kids, really patient. Food was spot on, the steak was cooked just right. He made it a relaxed evening for us.

The fish and chips were spot on, crispy and not greasy at all. The burger was juicy with a nice kick from the piri piri. Really generous portions, we couldn&#39;t finish it all!

The Royal Approval ale from Windsor and Eton brewery was a really nice pint. Perfect for a chilled catch-up with friends, and the price was decent too. We ended up staying for a couple!

The hazelnut gelato was lovely, really rich and creamy. A bit pricey for a single scoop, but the flavour selection is great.

The pistachio cake is the star here. You can really taste the freshness of the nuts, and it&#39;s not overly sweet. A lovely, simple treat that feels like a good choice. I&#39;ll be back for that slice.
