That lamb madras is just so good. It&#39;s become our go-to spot because of it. The staff are always lovely, which helps.

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 portions here are massive. Got the lunch special, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Really good value for a quick, filling meal.

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.

Nice spot on the green. Sat outside watching a bit of cricket. Owners were really welcoming. That was the best part.

The tapas were spot on, really felt like Spain. Just wish the music was a bit lower, had to raise my voice a bit to chat. Still, a nice vibe.

Menu had a few veggie choices which was nice. The homemade chips were the highlight for me, really good. Portions felt a bit on the smaller side for the price though.

The vegan cheese here is a game changer. I&rsquo;m always on the lookout for a good one, and theirs is homemade with a special recipe. Had it on the nachos and in the quesadilla&mdash;so good. They even asked how spicy I wanted it, which was a nice touch.

Laksa chicken noodles for a quick lunch. Spicy and full of flavour, just what I needed. The place is clean and modern, which is a plus. Got my order fast, no fuss. Good spot for a quick bite.

Came for the tapas, the pork belly and prawns were spot on. The real winner was the sharing board of meats and cheeses though, huge portion for the price. Easily enough for two, maybe three. Solid value.

Saved our evening after another place fell through. Staff were really friendly and the raspberry sorbet was spot on.

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.

The steak was cooked just right, and they have a decent wine list. I found a nice Malbec that went really well with it. Service was friendly, though a bit slow between courses.

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.

Great spot for a catch-up! The cask ales are a solid choice, and the staff are really on it even when it&#39;s packed.

Great drinks menu, especially the craft beers. Perfect for catching up with friends over a few rounds.
