Been coming here for years. Staff are always friendly, even when it&#39;s packed. Our order came out quick tonight, no fuss. Just how a local spot should run.

Came here for a special dinner. The mango-lime cider was a standout, really crisp and refreshing. Portions were generous, perfect for sharing. Service was friendly and attentive. A nice spot for a relaxed evening out.

The falafel wrap here is solid. Good amount of fresh salad stuff inside, way more than the usual kebab shop. The halloumi option is decent too. Just a bit heavy on the garlic sauce for my taste.

Been coming here for years, and the food is always spot on. The fried dishes never feel greasy, which is a big deal for me. The breads are light, just how I like them. It&#39;s my go-to for a reliable, quality curry.

Holly was our server, really helpful and attentive. She took the time to go through the menu with my friend who has a dairy allergy, made sure everything was sorted. Service like that makes a difference.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are incredibly friendly, making for a great dining experience.

Been ordering from them for years now. The pizzas are always spot on, and they give you a proper portion. Food arrives steaming hot every time. Can&#39;t ask for much more from a takeaway.

They made my dog feel so welcome here. Brought him a water bowl straight away, and the staff were lovely with him. A really nice touch for a dog-friendly spot.

The knickerbocker glory here is the real deal. Proper layers of fruit, jelly, and ice cream, topped with that thick, almost chewy whipped cream. It&rsquo;s a classic done right, and you get a lot for the money.

Grabbed a takeaway and ate it right by the harbour. The fish and chips were super fresh, still hot and crispy even after the short walk. Perfect for a quick bite with a view.

The new owners are so friendly! They remembered our drinks from last time and the vibe is perfect for catching up with mates. Food was tasty, just a bit slow coming out. Still, a nice spot for a relaxed dinner.

Spiciest curry I&#39;ve had, the Gunpowder Vindaloo Chicken. Paired well with garlic naan. Staff were quick and attentive.

Staff were polite and attentive. Good to see trainees being coached on the floor - everyone starts somewhere. Service felt efficient and well-managed.

Shared the nachos and garlic mushrooms. Both were spot on, exactly what you want from pub grub. Decent portions for the price too.

Ruby was so lovely with my little one, made the whole lunch feel easy. The rest of the team were really attentive too. A nice spot for a family meal.

The carvery was the highlight for me. The roast beef was cooked just right, and the selection of fresh vegetables was impressive. I really appreciated having so many healthy options to choose from. The gravy was a bit on the salty side for my taste, but everything else was spot on.

Great spot for a quick bite. The open, airy space is a nice break from the usual lunch rush. Got the chicken sandwich - solid and came out fast. Just what I needed.

Booked the function room for a private do. The buffet was nicely laid out, food was good. Staff were really on it, very helpful. Having the bar area right there was a definite plus. Made everything run smoothly.

Lovely outdoor seating with grapevines. A nice spot, though the portions felt a bit small for the price.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My meal arrived piping hot, which I really appreciated. It tasted lovely. Just a nice, comfortable spot for a quiet dinner.

The room was spotless, cleaned daily which I really appreciated. Staff were lovely - friendly and always quick to help if we needed anything. A comfortable, hassle-free stay.

A large Wetherspoons, nice smart interior. I tried the Quorn nugget wrap. The spicy kick was good, and I liked that you could see the fresh salad leaves and crisp veg in it. For under &pound;4 with a coffee, it&#39;s a decent lunch option if you&#39;re watching what you eat.

The ribs in the set were fantastic. The house red was a surprisingly good match for the smoky flavours.

Popped in for a coffee and a slice of cake this afternoon. It was so chilled, perfect for a break. The staff were really on it, even with the place being packed.

Breakfast was solid - loads of choice and everything cooked properly. The harbour view from the room was a nice touch.

Birthday lunch spot. The clucker burger was worth the wait, honestly. Staff were so calm when a nearby table got a bit loud, handled it really well.

Stopped by for a quick drink and the staff were so nice. They let me try a sip of their house lager before I ordered a pint. The vibe in here is just really relaxed and friendly.

The renovation&#39;s nice, but the main thing is the food. The lamb shank was cooked for hours, just fell apart with a fork. The gravy was rich, not too salty. That&#39;s what I come for.

Been coming here for years. The pasta dishes are just like what I had in Rome &ndash; simple, hearty, and you get a good plateful for your money. No fuss, just proper food.
