The ribs are the star here. The sauce is sticky, smoky, and clings perfectly to the meat. It&#39;s a quirky spot tucked away in the park, but that made for a relaxed summer meal. Drinks kept coming, which was a nice touch.

The garlic naan is always fresh and light, a perfect complement to the main dishes.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always spot on. The lamb shank tonight was just right &ndash; fell off the bone, and the gravy was rich without being heavy. A proper cosy spot for a reliable meal.

Friendly staff handled our large order well. The steak with blue cheese sauce was solid, paired with a local lager.

Lovely cozy pub. The live music on Friday was a nice touch. What really stood out for me was the freshness of the ingredients in their ploughman&#39;s lunch. The cheese was sharp and the pickles had a real crunch. A simple, well-made plate.

Lovely spot downstairs, really cozy. The menu is clear and has all the classics. I went for the grilled salmon salad&mdash;the fish was so fresh and flaky, and the greens were crisp. Just what I was hoping for on a quiet evening.

They handled our big group without a fuss. The kids&#39; corner was a lifesaver, letting us actually finish a meal. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but everyone got fed.

Busy Tuesday night but they squeezed us in. The menu&#39;s huge, had a hard time choosing! Went for the lamb shank, fell right off the bone. Good spot for a spontaneous dinner.

Popped in for a quick bite, got the ostrich silsia. The cheese naan was a great call with it. Nice little spot for something different.

Love that you can do half-and-half pizzas. The dough balls are a must, so fluffy and warm. Service is always on it. Just wish the dining room felt a bit cosier, the lighting&#39;s a bit stark.

Friendly staff and a menu with plenty of options. I went for the truffle pasta and it was spot on &ndash; really rich flavour. The place was packed, which says a lot. Portions are generous for the price, too.

Been coming here for years, the food never disappoints. The staff are genuinely friendly and always have a good suggestion when I can&#39;t decide. It&#39;s just a really nice, reliable spot.

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.

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.

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.

Price was fair for what you get. Had the steak frites, cooked just right. Service was quick too. No complaints.

The guacamole was so fresh, and the pibil pork burrito had this amazing smoky flavour. But the best part? The staff were so lovely and chatty, it made our catch-up feel really relaxed. Great spot for a casual dinner with mates.

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.

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.

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.

Popped in for the theme night set menu. Three courses for &pound;20, the soup was proper homemade. Felt like a proper meal, left absolutely stuffed.

The onion bhaji starter is huge, definitely enough to share. Came out steaming hot, which was nice on a chilly evening. Good portion sizes all round.

The biriyani was spot on - the rice had a lovely texture and the spice mix was just right. Maybe a bit heavy on the turmeric for me, but still a really nice dish. Keen to come back and explore the rest of the menu!
