The staff were so kind and accommodating. I had a specific request about the wine pairing for my main, and they took the time to discuss it properly. Made the whole evening feel relaxed and considered. A real plus.

The steak was cooked just right, and the sauce was lovely. I also tried my friend&#39;s mussels, which were really good. The &pound;13.95 set menu is a nice option, and you can choose a dessert instead of a starter. A comfortable spot for a relaxed meal.

Lovely welcome, and they made a dish off-menu for my husband without any fuss. The chicken was really good quality, and the sauces were something else. Came to about &pound;60 with drinks.

Lovely breakfast here! The eggs were perfectly runny and the bacon crispy. Staff were super friendly and got it out fast while it was still piping hot. Really hit the spot.

The loaded chips were the star for me &ndash; crispy outside, fluffy inside, and that cheese sauce was just right. Latte was smooth too, a really good one. Panini was solid, but those chips stole the show.

Been coming here for years. The portions are still generous, and the real ale&#39;s decent. It&#39;s a solid local spot for a straightforward meal.

Got a window table last minute on a Friday! The spring rolls and mac and cheese bites were perfect for sharing with friends.

Been coming here for years, never a letdown. The pasta is always spot on, just the right amount of sauce. Staff are chill, never feel rushed.

The Sunday roast beef was cooked just right, and the vegetables tasted so fresh. A generous portion for the price.

The steak dinner was lovely. The meat was cooked exactly as I asked, tender and full of flavour. The peppercorn sauce had a good, sharp kick to it. A solid, reliable choice.

Been coming here for years. The braised steak pie is always spot on, proper gravy and the chips are decent. Menu&#39;s got enough choice without being fussy. Staff are quick and know their regulars.

The potato skins and feta salad were a real highlight. I enjoyed them with a glass of their house red, a nice, simple pairing that worked well. The other courses were solid, though the main was a bit rich for my taste.

The lunch menu&#39;s about a tenner. Good portion size for that. The lamb shank was the thing. Meat fell off the bone, gravy was rich. Came out quick, which was fine by me.

Staff are super friendly here, really makes you feel welcome. Good selection of beers and spirits. Perfect for a quick pint after work.

Been coming here for years, staff are always friendly and efficient. Got my usual takeaway today, ready in no time. They remember regulars, makes a difference.

The custom sauce they made for me was a really nice touch. I mentioned I couldn&#39;t have dairy, and the chef whipped something up. It made the pasta dish work perfectly for me. Really thoughtful service.

Managed to get a table on a busy Saturday night, which was a relief. The calzone and chips were good for the price.

Solid chicken pie, quality ingredients. The sourdough was warm and good. Service was efficient, got the bill quickly when we were done. Convenient for a quick business lunch near the office.

Good variety on the menu, our whole table was happy. Food came out fast and tasted proper. It&rsquo;s got more character than your average chain place.

Nice spot. Clean, stylish. Had the rib eye with peppercorn sauce. That was the thing. Staff were polite.

Been back two nights in a row for the half lot with peas. The fish fritters are a real winner. The place itself is just right for a casual solo dinner, nothing too fancy.

Nice spot for a Cruzcampo. The outdoor seating is clean and the lights are cool.

Popped in for a quick bite. The fish was cooked just right, really flavourful. Nice they usually have ginger beer on hand. Staff kept moving even when it got packed.

The wagyu sharing board is the reason I keep coming back. The meat was so tender it practically melted, and the portion was generous for the price. A solid choice if you&#39;re focused on the food.

A real find for traditional Chinese food. The menu is extensive, and the portions are generous. I was pleased to see a decent wine list with some interesting reds that actually paired well with the spicier dishes. A solid spot for a proper meal.

Grabbed the chicken shawarma wrap for a quick lunch with a mate. Seriously generous portion, the bread was still warm! Perfect for when you&#39;re chatting and don&#39;t want a fussy meal. Got it in like 8 minutes.

Jacob and Natalie were so nice to our big group. Jacob at the bar remembered what we liked to drink, and Natalie checked on us without being pushy. Just felt really looked after.
