Sam was our waiter and honestly, he made the night. Just the right amount of attentive, and actually funny. A good server makes such a difference.

Sunday roast for a quick bite. Pork and crackling spot on, massive Yorkshire puddings. Got my food in under 10 minutes, which is a win for me. 👍

The service at Chewton Glen was exceptional, especially from our waitress Vicky, who made our evening feel special. The food exceeded our expectations, particularly the burgers and onion rings!

Great choice of cask ales. The staff really know their stuff and helped me pick one that wasn&#39;t too heavy. Perfect for a relaxed pint.

Cosy country pub with traditional aesthetic. Excellent service by welcoming staff. Outstanding food served promptly in generous portions. Friendly atmosphere among the patrons. Fantastic log fire lit during the winter. Highly recommend this pub for great food at a reasonable price, all served with a smile.

Been here a few times for a quick lunch. The sandwiches are consistently decent, solid choice for a business meeting nearby. The pub itself has a nice, relaxed vibe.

Lemon drizzle cake was spot on, and the gluten-free brownie was a nice touch. Staff were helpful. I did wish the wine list had a few more options by the glass to pair with the desserts, though.

Been coming here for years. Their fish and chips are reliably good &ndash; the batter is crisp, the fish inside is always moist and fresh. It&#39;s a simple thing, but they get it right every time.

The building&#39;s got real character, those low doorways are a fun touch. But honestly, for the price point, the portions felt a bit on the smaller side. You&#39;re paying more for the atmosphere than a really filling meal.

The haddock was so fresh and flaky, really hit the spot. The batter was light, not greasy at all. Portions are huge, my friend and I shared one and were full. Staff were quick and nice. A solid choice for a proper fish and chips.

Been back a few times now. The chicken tikka masala is always spot on, and the garlic naan is fresh. Just a solid, reliable spot for a curry.

The staff brought out a little cake for my birthday, which was a nice touch. Service was pretty attentive.

The staff are really friendly, especially the barman who was so attentive. That made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. The food was lovely too, a really nice meal.

Megan was so lovely and attentive. That mushroom linguine with grilled chicken was the star for me - the sauce was creamy but not heavy at all. My husband enjoyed his small plates too. The whole place just has a nice, relaxed vibe.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on, proper British-Asian classics done right. Gets packed out most nights, mind. Book a table or you&#39;ll be waiting.

The tandoori chicken had a really nice smoky flavour. The naan was soft and warm, straight from the oven. I&#39;d go back just for that.

The chicken katsu burger was a real find. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce, really hit the spot. Great spot to catch a game too.

Russell was super helpful with recommendations. Got my food quick and it was exactly what I wanted. 👍

Popped in for a quick solo lunch. Food came fast, which was key for me. The steak sandwich was hot, well-seasoned, and matched the menu description. Good portion for the price.

Easy to find next to Tesco. Good for a quick bite. Staff were fast and friendly. Got the chicken wrap, decent portion and tasted fresh. Perfect for a lunch break.

Travelled a fair distance for this. The food came out quickly, which was perfect with our toddler. One of the better Indian meals we&#39;ve had.

Good portions for the price, and a huge menu to choose from. The vibe was just right&mdash;really relaxed and friendly.

Came for the afternoon tea with friends. The little savoury tarts were so good, and the cheesecake that looked like a flower pot was a fun surprise! A really nice spot for a long catch-up.

A solid meal, service was prompt. The location on the Esplanade is very convenient. Good for a straightforward business lunch.

Been coming here for years. The roast beef on Sundays is always spot on, proper tender and flavourful. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. Staff are friendly too.

The team really made my daughter&rsquo;s day special with a surprise cake and a little song. It was a lovely touch. The food, as always, was full of flavour and you can tell it&rsquo;s made with care.

As a coeliac, I really appreciated the care here. They have separate equipment for gluten-free prep, which is a huge relief. Felt safe ordering, and nearly everything on the menu was an option for me.
