Maddy was so attentive, she seemed to know what we needed before we did. Just the right amount of check-ins, never intrusive. The whole evening felt really smooth because of it.

The parsnip soup was authentic, but a bit thin for my taste. Had it with a glass of their house white, which was a decent pairing. The vibe in the place is nice, though.

The staff were so friendly with our big group. They really took care of my friend&#39;s gluten-free request without any fuss. Made the whole dinner feel relaxed.

Came here with friends after a hike. The vanilla shake was so good, and the burgers were tasty. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

I had a fantastic experience with the food here, especially the traditional fish and chips. It was well-prepared and the fish tasted incredibly fresh.

Love the vibe in this old pub! Perfect for catching up with friends over a pint. The staff are super friendly, which really makes you feel welcome. The home-cooked food is solid, too. Just a really nice, relaxed spot.

A family-run spot, nice personal touch. They handled my gluten-free request without any fuss. The afternoon tea looked lovely, and tasted pretty good. A decent experience overall.

The kids&#39; menu is actually decent, which is a nice surprise. My little one had the pasta with tomato sauce and ate most of it. Makes a family meal out a bit less stressful.

Found a real gem. The menu&#39;s straightforward and healthy, which I appreciate. Coffee selection is solid, and the cakes are a highlight. That coffee cake was spot on. Good value for the quality.

Been coming here for years after walks on the ridge. The burger&#39;s always decent, nothing fancy but hits the spot. Good pint to go with it. Just a solid local pub.

Nice big beer garden, and the kids&#39; play area kept the little ones happy. We could relax with a pint while they ran around. Perfect for a sunny afternoon with the family.

Loved the beer garden out back! It&rsquo;s such a cosy, sheltered spot. We spent a whole sunny afternoon there with a group of friends, just chatting and relaxing. Really nice for a casual catch-up.

Popped in for a late brunch with a friend. The spinach frittata was so light and fluffy, perfect for a casual catch-up. My flat white was a bit on the bitter side, but hers was fine. Good spot for a relaxed chat.

Been coming here for years, and the fact they&#39;re always dog-friendly is a big part of why. Our pup gets a bowl of water without us even asking. It&#39;s just a reliable place where he can chill under the table while we have a pint.

The savoury pies are spot on every time. But I&#39;ve had a couple of fruit pies where the filling was a bit too runny. If you&#39;re after a specific one, maybe give them a ring before you head over later on.

The milkshake was the best part. Thick, cold, and not too sweet. Everything else was fine, but that&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

Booked a breakfast for a catch-up with friends. The poached eggs were spot on, and the coffee was just right. Easy to book online, and the staff were really friendly. A good spot for a relaxed morning chat.

George was so kind to let us finish our meal despite a later booking. The ingredients tasted wonderfully fresh.

Coffee&#39;s definitely better than most around here. The mocha was a real treat, not too sweet. But at &pound;4.50 for a regular, I did have to think twice before ordering. It&#39;s a bit of a splurge for a quick cup.

The full English breakfast was cooked just right, not greasy. Good portion for the price. The staff were really friendly and attentive, which made for a relaxed morning.

The owner came by our table to check on things, which was a nice touch. You can tell they really care about making sure everyone&#39;s comfortable. The staff are all genuinely friendly, it makes a difference.

The portions here are huge, especially for the price. My steak was cooked just right, and the chips were proper hand-cut. You can tell they don&#39;t skimp on the ingredients. Honestly, it&#39;s hard to find that kind of value these days. Left feeling very full and satisfied.

Greek night special was solid. The bacon and brie ciabatta is my go-to for a quick lunch. Always get my order fast, which is key for me. A reliable spot when you&#39;re in a hurry.

The staff were so lovely even though it was packed! They double-checked my nut allergy without me having to ask, which was a relief. Really appreciated that attention to detail.

Booked a last-minute table with friends, and the staff were so nice about it! The onion bhaji was super crispy, and the curry had so many different flavours. Really good spot for a casual catch-up.

Cycled here with a group and they squeezed our bikes in, no fuss. The back garden was lovely for a catch-up. Service was spot on, and the food was really good for the price. A solid find for a casual hangout.

The takeaway was still piping hot when I got home. You can really taste the care in the flavours. A nice surprise for a Friday night in.
