Great location in Pooley Bridge, easy to get to from the main road. The on-site parking is a major plus, saved us a lot of hassle. Makes it a practical choice for a straightforward meal.

Decent pint, lively vibe. The music was spot on, not too loud. Pool table&#39;s a nice touch for a casual night out. Staff were friendly and quick.

The sticky rice with coconut was the standout. The rice was perfectly cooked, sticky but not mushy, and the coconut flavour was rich without being overly sweet. The prawns were also good, crispy and well-seasoned.

The sticky toffee pudding was a real highlight. Portions are generous, so you definitely get your money&#39;s worth.

Popped in for lunch on a Monday. The souffl&eacute; was just as good as I remember. Light and airy, with that perfect, delicate crust. A lovely little treat.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The Greek-style rigatoni was spot on, just what I needed. Dog-friendly with outdoor seating, perfect for a fast bite. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Had the jerk chicken with a couple of custom tweaks, which they handled fine. It&#39;s proper home-style cooking, really hearty. My partner&#39;s plate was cleared way before mine, so I guess that says it all. A solid meal.

The ginger fizz cocktail here was a standout. Really enjoyed the balance of spice and citrus, one of the better versions I&#39;ve had. The rest of their signature list looks promising too.

Been coming here for years, and the pizza&#39;s always consistent. Even on a crazy busy Friday, the takeaway holds up. Dough&#39;s fresh, stone oven does its thing. That&#39;s why I keep ordering.

Quick breakfast with friends, and the staff were really friendly. Food was tasty and the portions are generous, so we left happy!

The service was spot on. Staff were friendly and professional, but what stood out was the sommelier&#39;s advice on a wine pairing for our main course. It just clicked. Made the whole evening. A bit on the pricey side for the bottle, but worth it for the experience.

The pesto gnocchi was really nice, and I enjoyed a couple of decent cocktails at the bar. Service was attentive and professional, which made dining alone quite pleasant. A solid spot for a solo meal.

The Massaman curry was so comforting, rich and creamy with tender chunks of beef. The green curry had a lovely, fragrant kick to it. Both were spot on. The staff were really sweet and attentive, even on a packed Friday night.

The grilled fish was spot on, and the wine list had some nice options. Staff were really good at checking in without hovering, which was perfect for catching up with friends. Made for a relaxed evening.

Cash only, but there&#39;s a cash point just round the corner. The free parking nearby is handy, though you&#39;ll need a parking disc. The wine list had some decent local options that paired nicely with the simple, hearty food.

This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with friendly staff and stunning food presentation. The quality of the dishes is impressive, making it a must-visit!

Lovely environment &amp; foodExtremely pleasant staffI pre ordered a bottle for our arrival &amp; it was there for us right away.A lovely night to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

The fish platter was generous and fresh, went perfectly with the viognier/grenache we ordered. The espresso was a bit weak for my taste, but that&#39;s a small thing. Really liked the buzz in the room.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always remember my order.

Service was spot on. Friendly but not hovering, just the right amount of attention. Felt genuinely welcome as soon as we sat down. Made the whole thing relaxed.

Been coming here for years. The biryani is always spot on - fragrant rice, tender meat, the whole deal. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every single time. Never lets me down.

The refillable drinks are a lifesaver for a long catch-up with friends. The cookie s&#39;mores were a great sweet finish too.
