Decent buffet with a good mix of Chinese and English options. Everything was kept hot and the staff were quick to refill the trays. A solid choice for a casual meal, though it did get a bit busy later on.

Been a regular for ages. The food&#39;s always solid, no surprises. Service is quick, which I appreciate. But honestly, the portions feel a bit smaller than they used to be for the price. Still, it&#39;s reliable.

Been coming here for years. The Sunday roast beef is always spot on, especially with that homemade Yorkshire pudding. It&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Been coming here for years. It&rsquo;s just a solid, cozy local. Always feels the same, which is exactly why I keep coming back. The atmosphere is spot on for a quiet pint or catching the game. Never lets you down.

Been going here for years, staff are always quick and friendly. Last time my son was with me, he&#39;s autistic, and they handled it really well. Just made the whole thing easy.

The view from the back terrace over the marina is the main draw here. Sat out there on a sunny afternoon with a pint, it&#39;s hard to beat. The old building itself has a bit of character too.

Been here a few times for a quick bite. It&rsquo;s a decent spot for a casual meal or a pint. The food&rsquo;s good, plenty of choice. Staff are friendly, never feel rushed. 👍

Nicola the manager was so on top of things, even with the place being absolutely packed for Valentine&#39;s. My partner&#39;s steak was cooked just right, which was a nice surprise given the rush.

This little spot by the cathedral is a total find. Came with a few mates and the lamb madras was spot on &ndash; really packed a punch. Perfect for a casual catch-up, the vibe is just right for a group.

The balcony view over the river is lovely for a drink. I appreciated that their house lemonade tasted freshly squeezed, not from a bottle.

Great for a quick bite. Staff were super helpful and even did smaller portions for the kids.

Been coming here for years with my dog. The fish and chips are always spot on - hot, crispy batter, proper chips. It&#39;s the one place I know I can rely on for that. Nice they let him inside too, makes it easy.

Christmas Eve lunch was nice. The portions were huge, honestly. My main course could have fed two people easily. Good for the price you pay. A bit crowded, but that&#39;s expected on the day.

Loved the vibe here! The decor is so thoughtful, really sets the mood for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up chatting for ages without even noticing.

The steak and chorizo in red wine is a must-order here. It&#39;s always piping hot and the portions are huge, perfect for sharing with a couple of friends. We always end up with leftovers. The food is reliably fresh and tasty.

Had a lovely lunch with friends! The pasta was spot on, and the staff were so friendly. It&#39;s a great spot for a casual catch-up. The only thing was it got a bit loud when it filled up, but that&#39;s just the vibe.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The grilled octopus was spot on, really tender with a nice char. Staff were chill and didn&#39;t rush us, even though it was busy. Might pop in again next week.

The fish was huge, honestly bigger than my hand. Chips were golden and crisp, just right. A proper portion for the price. It&rsquo;s the kind of simple, satisfying meal you want after a long walk in the Dales.

Great spot for a quick lunch. Ordered the fish and chips, came out fast and was decent. Got a table outside easily. Perfect for a quick bite when you&#39;re short on time.

The queue was long, as expected for this place. But they&rsquo;ve always had everything in stock when I&rsquo;ve visited, which is pretty good for how busy it gets.

The dog-friendly policy here is a real winner. Brought my spaniel along and they brought him a water bowl straight away. Made for a really relaxed lunch.

Menu has a good variety, not just the usual Indian options. Good to have some different choices.

The chicken burger was really fresh, the patty was juicy and the bun was soft. The chips were crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. The house red was a nice match. It&rsquo;s a lively spot, even when packed.

Been coming here for years. Their Sunday roast is always solid, and the price is fair. Tried the chilli sauce broccoli tempura this time &ndash; wasn&#39;t expecting much, but it was really good. A nice little surprise.

The pancakes were fluffy and the fruit topping tasted so fresh. I really appreciated the birthday candle, it was a thoughtful touch. The ingredients here always feel high quality, which is important to me. A lovely spot for a relaxed breakfast.

The restaurant has a great ambiance, perfect for a night out. The lamb shank was to die for, and the overall experience was delightful.

The Belgian beer selection is impressive, but I really appreciated the fresh, crisp salad options on the menu.

Popped in for a late lunch. The Yorkshire pud and beef was huge, packed with meat. The real star was the rotating cask ale - a lovely malty one that cut through the rich gravy perfectly. Just a bit chilly by the window.
