The delivery was super quick, food still steaming hot when it arrived. The pad thai was spot on, noodles had that perfect chew. Really hit the spot for a lazy night in.

Stumbled in after a long trip, pretty knackered. The chicken momo were spot on, really hit the spot. Service was chill and friendly, which helped. Just what I needed.

The curry goat was so tender, just fell off the bone. That rich, slow-cooked flavour with the rice and peas... honestly hit the spot. The bar in the middle gives it a nice, relaxed vibe.

The waiter gave us space to chat, really appreciated that.

Family-run spot, super relaxed. Perfect for a quick lunch. Had the chicken curry, came out fast and hit the spot. Nothing fancy, just good, honest food. The vibe is very unpretentious.

Always a lovely atmosphere - dog friendly, child friendly - what else would you ask for.  Wonderful staff and great food :)

We came with the family and the portions were huge. Everyone got their fill. The staff were really helpful with the kids, too. Solid spot for a big group dinner.

Nice spot for a drink after a walk. The outdoor area is good, and they&#39;re really dog-friendly with water bowls and sausages.

Had a really nice evening here. The staff were so attentive without being overbearing, which made it feel relaxed. Food was solid, and the drinks list had some interesting options. Good spot for a casual catch-up.

The team here is lovely. Really attentive, and they made a last-minute change to our breakfast order without any fuss. Just a nice, welcoming vibe throughout the whole meal.

First time here for a family dinner. The portions were huge, we all had to take some home. My dad&#39;s fish and chips plate was especially massive.

Love that they&#39;re so welcoming to dogs! Our pup got a little bowl of meat, which was such a nice surprise. Made it feel really relaxed for our group. The vibe is perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

We didn&rsquo;t have a booking but got a lovely quiet table. The roast beef was just right, and the sticky toffee pudding was light and fresh.

Elle was so kind and attentive. She remembered our drink order from last time and even brought an extra side of bread without us asking. Just really nice service that made the whole meal better.

I took my grown Son and his huge German shepherd and sat outside to eat and drink.Service was great and the food amazing.He had the beef pie and said it was the best.I had the aubergine lasagna which was very tasty

Stumbled upon this place in Old Shanklin Village. The setting is really nice, all traditional and cosy. Had a simple lunch here, just felt like a good spot to sit and eat.

A real local favourite, which is always a good sign. The menu has so much choice it&#39;s almost overwhelming. Went for dinner and everything was tasty, and honestly, the prices felt very fair for what you get.

Had the Sunday roast here. Properly cooked beef, generous portion of veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding. The old building is lovely, bit drafty by the window though. Solid lunch.

Jimmy the owner is super friendly. I asked for a slight change to the pasta dish and he sorted it out no problem. That kind of willingness to accommodate a small request makes a difference. Portions were decent for the price, so felt like a fair deal overall.

The grilled cheese was loaded and the tomato soup was a perfect match for a glass of house red. Fries were solid, too.

Ordered the Classic English and Eggs Royale. Both were cooked fresh, which was nice. The portions were decent for the price, you definitely get a proper plateful. Good for a filling breakfast without feeling ripped off.

The steak was cooked exactly as ordered, medium-rare. Juicy and flavourful, with a good sear on the outside. The peppercorn sauce was rich but not overpowering. A solid main course.

The place was buzzing, which I always like. The music and decor really did feel authentic. It was a bit loud for a proper chat, but the energy was great.

Meal for a family of 4 after a visit to Tapnell Farm, staff were polite, pleasant and helpful. Drinks arrived promptly, food not long after. Recommend The Matador burger for me, the chicken wrap my daughter smashed, hotdog demolished by my son, and hubby had the big smoke burger which he enjoyed. Recommend to visit but booking is advisable to get a table no matter what season

The Chateaubriand was a decent cut, and carving it at the table was a nice touch. The service was efficient, though perhaps a little too quick for a relaxed evening. My kids were happy with their pizzas.

Came for the buffet with a few friends. The space is really well-designed, with high ceilings and those big, comfortable booths. Felt relaxed just sitting there, even when it got busy. Food was fresh and had good variety.

First time here, went for the Chef&#39;s Special Breakfast. The eggs were fine, but the mushrooms were the star &ndash; really flavourful and buttery. Classic diner vibe, which I liked. Service was quick.

Poole Quay&#39;s a great spot for this place. Grabbed a pint and some classic pub grub, just what you need with that harbour view. Solid spot to unwind.

Had the pasta with tomato sauce here. It was pretty good, reminded me of my nonna&#39;s cooking. The place is cozy and nicely lit. A decent spot for a quiet dinner.

The seafood linguine special was lovely. I really appreciated how fresh the scallops and prawns tasted. The garlic and chilli sauce had a nice kick without being overpowering. The pasta itself was cooked just right, not too soft. A good, simple dish where you can tell the ingredients are quality.
