Been coming here for years, and the Gosth Jolpai curry is always spot on. That rich, slow-cooked flavour never changes. It&rsquo;s the main reason I keep coming back.

Been coming here for years, and the food is always spot on. Tasty, piping hot on warm plates - just how I like it. That consistency keeps me coming back.

The fish and chips here are what keep me coming back. The batter is always crisp, the chips are proper thick-cut, and the fish is flaky and moist. It&#39;s the same quality whether you eat in or take it away.

The fish batter was light and fluffy, not greasy at all. The chips were proper homemade ones, and the curry sauce was spot on. That&#39;s the main thing for me.

Had the breakfast ciabatta and a flat white. The coffee was good, but the real star was their selection of craft beers and natural wines. Perfect with the food. A solid little spot for a relaxed bite.

The cask ales here are spot on. Had a pint of their seasonal bitter, proper cellar temperature and a nice creamy head. The manager mentioned they rotate the hand pumps weekly, which explains the fresh taste. A bit pricier than the pub down the road, but you&#39;re paying for the quality.

The service here is just right. Kamal and Ala were really attentive, but never made us feel rushed. It&#39;s the kind of friendly, easy-going place where you can just relax and enjoy your meal.

Service was pretty good here. Asif and Toby were both friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant evening. The food was decent, though the pacing felt a touch slow at times.

The ice cream taco is the star for me. It&#39;s a crispy shell with soft vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. A fun way to end the meal. The regular tacos were good too, but that dessert is what I&#39;ll remember.

Service was spot on. Our waiter knew the wine list inside out, suggested a fantastic pairing for the lamb, and explained it without any fuss. Made the whole evening.

Nice early saver menu. The food was pretty good, service was fine. Just book ahead as it gets quite busy.

The Diablo pasta was fantastic, really rich and spicy. Huge portion too, I couldn&#39;t finish it. The seafood in the other pasta tasted super fresh. I&#39;ll be back for sure.

The squid ink spaghetti was the highlight for me. The langoustine was fresh and the pasta had a lovely texture. A simple, well-prepared dish that felt light and satisfying. The family-run atmosphere is a nice touch too.

Came for the Keralan fish curry. The portion was generous for the price, easily enough for two. The flavours were complex, really interesting. Had some leftover to take home, which is always a plus.

Clean place, even the loos. Liked the decor, felt pretty chilled. Food was decent, nothing crazy but hit the spot for a casual dinner.

The order board system is slick. The staff at the counter were pleasant, and they had a decent house red that went nicely with the pasta.

Booked Dickens 2 for a group. Staff were great, shoutout to Mario and Jack. Garden was a nice spot. Everything just ran smoothly, no fuss.

The sharing starter for two was the real highlight. The cured meats were top quality, and the grilled vegetables had a nice smoky flavour. Portion was generous for the price.

The fish and chips were spot on. The batter was light and crispy, and the fish inside was really fresh. Chips were perfect, not greasy. Felt like a proper Yorkshire meal.
