The salt and pepper squid was spot on &ndash; really crispy. Paired it with a crisp lager, which cut through the richness nicely. The curries are flavourful, though a tad heavy for a weeknight. Solid spot for a proper meal.

Booked ahead for a Friday, good call as it was packed. The slow-cooked lamb shank was the only thing I noticed. Meat just fell apart, really rich sauce. Could have used a touch more seasoning for my taste, but the texture was spot on.

Leonie was a star at the Christmas brunch rush. Our drinks never ran dry for the full 90 minutes, and she handled the chaos with such a calm smile. That kind of steady service when it&#39;s that busy is really something.

The dim sum selection here is solid. We tried the har gow and siu mai, both were fresh and well-made. The rest of the menu was a bit average, but I&#39;d come back just for the dim sum. Good for a quick business lunch.

Table service was fabulous and the food was just amazing! Cannot recommend the Tomahawk enough...cooked to perfection! I was looking forward to our booking and it exceeded my best expectations!!

The green curry had a lovely, well-balanced spice to it. The staff were very pleasant and efficient, which made for a relaxed and comfortable lunch. I appreciated how smoothly everything went.

Good spot for a quick bite. Veggie burger was solid, came out fast. Just what I needed on a Thursday.

The Chettinad paneer was so rich and aromatic, a real standout. The kalimirch chicken had a lovely peppery kick too. Flavours were distinct and well-balanced across the board.

This restaurant offers excellent value for money with its Indian buffet brunch. The food was tasty and varied, and the service from Mo was friendly and attentive.

The small plates at this restaurant are a must-try! Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the staff were incredibly attentive, making for a delightful evening out.

What a fabulous place, excellent service from Sally at the butcher counter, she was so helpful, giving us lots of advice and information.Very enjoyable meal, in a pleasant setting.

I took my daughter for lunch as a school holiday treat and we had a lovely meal.  She loved the salad cart and choice of children&rsquo;s meals.

Always great food, fantastic service and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended Set in a beautiful building with a great bar area as well as well maintained gardens that are lovely to sit out in the summer months

The Sticky Pig pizza with chilli oil is a real winner. Service was lovely and attentive on a quiet afternoon.

Service is always quick, food arrives fast. I appreciate that the ingredients taste fresh, especially in the salads. The desserts are a nice, light finish. Prices are fair for the quality you get.

Been here a few times. They do a nice little dessert if it&#39;s your birthday, on the house. Noticed it for a couple of other tables too. Decent spot for that sort of thing.

The steak sampler was tasty, but honestly, the different cuts all felt pretty similar. The peppercorn sauce on the side was a nice touch. For the price, I was hoping for a clearer distinction between them. The chips and onion rings were solid though.

A classic thatched pub in a lovely village. The inside is really nicely done - they&#39;ve kept the old feel but it doesn&#39;t feel dated. It was spotless and so cosy, especially with the fire lit on a cold afternoon. Just a really nice place to sit.

Went for a late lunch. The menu had plenty of options, which was great as my friend is vegan. She found a few things she liked. My pasta portion was decent for the price, though.

Tried their roast. It&rsquo;s the best thing on the menu, honestly. Juicy, crispy skin, proper gravy. The rest was fine, but I&rsquo;d go back just for that.

The mixed grill is huge, easily for two or three. The adana kebab was the standout for me &ndash; so flavourful and juicy. The rest was good too, but that one really hit the spot.

The BBQ pork taquitos here are the reason I keep coming back. They&#39;re always perfectly crisp, and the pork filling is just the right balance of smoky and tender. Honestly, it&#39;s the one thing I order every single time.

The staff here are so lovely, especially with kids. Ruby and Daisy were really sweet with my little one, making her smile. Laura and Leah were also friendly and helpful. It&#39;s nice to see a team that genuinely seems to enjoy their work and connects with guests. Makes for a relaxed meal.

Perfect for a quick bite before work. Got the breakfast plate, added black pudding. Food&#39;s fresh, good portion for the price. Free coffee with Ikea Family before 9am is a nice perk. Gets the job done.

A really nice spot to work from for a few hours. The staff are super friendly and never made me feel rushed, even when I was just nursing a coffee. Good vibes for getting some writing done.

Popped in for a late lunch. The Juicy Lucy burger was solid &ndash; cheese actually oozes out when you bite into it. Staff were quick and chill. Place has a nice, warm vibe.

Came early to grab a table with a plug and get some work done. Ordered three dishes for a quick lunch. Everything came out fast and tasted good. Perfect for a focused solo bite.

Charlie and Lyla were great hosts. The music was spot-on, really added to the vibe. I had a great time with their house red, it was a surprisingly good match for the small plates we ordered. A fun night out.
