Even in the rain, this was a great find. The sea bream was the star for me - skin so crisp, flesh just flaky. The mackerel was lovely too. Portions felt generous, left us nicely full. Staff were really sweet about our soggy state!

Akram was so friendly, made me feel totally at ease dining alone. The Spicy King Prawn Madras had a real kick, and the veg karahi was spot on. Perfect for when you need a solo treat!

Been coming here for years. Steve behind the bar is the main reason. Always a friendly face and a good chat.

The marquee for private events is lovely! The buffet had some really nice options, especially the roast beef carving station. Staff kept everything moving smoothly. A solid spot for a celebration.

We had our team dinner here. Chelcie was so helpful with everything from booking to the actual evening. The space itself is really lovely, perfect for a group.

Had the steak and ale pie for lunch. The pastry was so good, flaky and buttery. Sat at a big table with mates, perfect for a long catch-up over a pint. The filling was tasty, but I wish there was a bit more of it.

Popped in for a midweek dinner. The free parking after 6pm is a huge plus around here. Had the chicken Milanese - the portion was generous, definitely enough for two. Left with a doggy bag. Price felt fair for what you get.

Cosy pub with a warm vibe, perfect for a quiet pint. The staff are friendly and make you feel at home, which is nice. It&rsquo;s a good local spot to unwind and have a chat.

The mixed grill platter was the highlight. You can really taste the freshness in the lamb chops, they were cooked just right. A solid choice for a protein-focused meal. The portion was generous too.

A clean, cosy little spot in the city centre. Plenty of seating, which is handy. The wine list is compact but thoughtful &ndash; found a lovely, bright Pinot Gris that went perfectly with the grilled fish. A solid choice for a relaxed city-centre meal.

Lunch here is always pleasant. I appreciate how fresh the ingredients feel, especially in their salads. The staff are friendly, which makes for a relaxed break. The food is consistently good.

The burger patty was cooked just right, juicy and full of flavour. The bacon was crispy, and the cheese had a nice sharpness to it. The bun held everything together without getting soggy. Good, solid burger.

The main bar and dining area are lovely, but I have to mention the loos. They&rsquo;re a bit of a letdown and could really do with a proper spruce-up.

Ordered via the app and the food arrived so fast! Portions are generous for the price. Perfect for when you&rsquo;re out with mates and don&rsquo;t want to wait ages to eat. The spicy chicken was actually really good.

The Christmas menu was a treat. The steak was spot on, cooked exactly as asked. Grace and Emily were really attentive, made the evening smooth.

Been coming here for years. The recent refurbishment has kept the place feeling clean and fresh, which I really appreciate.

The staff here are so lovely! We ordered takeaway and the chef popped in a little extra rice for us, which was such a sweet gesture. Really makes you feel looked after.

Been here a few times for the live band, they&#39;re solid. My fish was a bit dry this time, but my mate&#39;s was spot on. The sticky toffee pudding is the real deal, just like the photos.

It was really a good experience and the dosha they made me feel like I went to South India and experience their rich and tasty food. Service was excellent and they take good care of me from start to end.

The mixed grill platter is huge and packed with flavour. The lamb and chicken are spot on with that smoky charcoal taste. Perfect for sharing with mates!

This place has such a friendly vibe, perfect for catching up with mates. We grabbed a table in the back garden and it was so nice to be outside. The drinks list is solid. Just a really easy spot for a relaxed evening.

Been coming here for years. The veg hakka noodles and manchurian are my go-to order, always hits the spot when I want a break from curry. They&#39;ve kept it consistent, which is why I keep coming back.

The salad bar is fresh, no limp lettuce. Portions are generous. It&#39;s that kind of hearty, home-cooked taste. Good value.

Lovely Sunday dinner spot. The dim lighting and those warm, exposed brick walls just felt so cosy. Perfect for a quiet evening.

Staff were attentive, not intrusive. Food cooked fresh to order, presentation neat. Efficient service for a business lunch.

Been coming here for years, and the building still has that classic, cosy pub feel. Always a treat.

Came a long way for their signature dish. The flavours are layered and complex, just as I remembered. The owner&#39;s friendly, but honestly, I&#39;m here for the food, not the chat. The kitchen handled my tweak to the dish perfectly. It&#39;s all about that plate.

The mussels in cream sauce were incredible. The half bottle of wine was a perfect pairing.

Sarah was a great server. The three-course meal was tasty and hot. Their wine list had a nice pairing suggestion for the main, which worked well.

The fish and chips portion was huge! Batter was crisp, chips were proper. Ordered on the app and food arrived quickly. It&#39;s a reliable spot when you just want a no-fuss pub meal.
