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.

Popped in for lunch after shopping at Westquay. It&#39;s nice and spacious, which I always appreciate. The staff were very friendly and didn&#39;t rush us at all. We had the fish and chips, and it was just what we needed. A comfortable spot to take a break.

Got a table as a walk-in on a busy Saturday, which was a relief. The gluten-free options are solid. My partner, who has coeliac disease, had the pasta and didn&#39;t have any issues afterwards. That&#39;s the main thing for us.

Quick lunch spot. Bright and clean. Staff were really patient with my little one when he got fussy. Got my food fast, which is all I need on a short break. Solid for a quick bite.

My friend and I have eaten here 3 times in the last couple of months, drawn back by the &#39;buy one get one free main course&#39; offer. Each time the staff have been excellent, friendly, helpful and we have thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Franco Manca offers a great atmosphere and delicious food. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner.

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.

Chef Eric&#39;s personal welcome and menu walk-through were a nice touch. Really appreciated the focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients.

I have celiac disease, and the staff here, like Becky, really know their stuff about cross-contamination. It&rsquo;s a relief to find a kitchen that takes it seriously. Makes the whole experience way less stressful.

Great coffee with clear flavour notes. The staff are lovely, and they have a nice selection of cakes to go with it.

The staff were really helpful with my dietary needs, suggesting a light soup that was pretty good.

A dog-friendly spot with a cracking view of the sea and beach. The coffee was decent, but the real star was their local craft lager. Perfectly crisp to sip while watching the world go by. A bit breezy on the terrace, but that&#39;s the coast for you.

Rooms are spotlessly clean and really comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, and they provide a generous supply of tea and coffee.

Nice spot by the water. Grabbed a quick lunch here. The fish and chips were solid, came out fast which I appreciate. Only downside was a few flies buzzing around inside. Could do with dimmer lights maybe.

Great little family-run Spanish place. The tapas are spot on - the patatas bravas had a nice kick, and the croquetas were creamy inside, crispy outside. Sat in their covered patio with the heaters on, felt just right for a cool evening. Solid Spanish beers to match.

Came by for a quick bite, the chips were really good. Crispy outside, fluffy inside. The spot by the river is lovely, especially on a sunny afternoon.

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.

Nice Saturday lunch. The staff were so friendly when we arrived, which made it a really comfortable start.

Cosy little spot, feels like a family-run place. Had the beef stew and it was proper hearty, just what you want on a damp evening. A nice change from the usual chains.

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.

Pleasant pre Christmas get together with friends. Most courteous to request for special seating. Friendly and courteous service and great carvery with the extensive selection of seasonal and festive vegetables

Freshly cooked, great flavours. The Greek couple who run it are lovely and happy to explain the menu. Perfect for a quick, tasty lunch. Got my order in and out fast.

Grilled fish was spot on, perfectly cooked with a nice char. Seafood casserole was packed with flavour, everything tasted super fresh. A bit pricey, but you can tell they&#39;re using quality ingredients.

Cosy spot in Lyndhurst. The Sunday roast was spot on, and the landlord made us feel right at home.

The gluten-free scone here was a proper treat! Came out warm, just like the regular fruit one. It&#39;s nice not having to ask for a special menu - loads of options marked up clearly.

Stumbled upon this gem. Their signature pasta was a real find.

The pizza base is fantastic, and they have a nice house red that pairs perfectly with it. A proper Italian spot.
