Stopped in for a takeaway after a beach walk. It was quiet, but the staff were really friendly. The fish and chips were pretty good &ndash; decent portion, crispy batter. A solid choice for a casual bite.

Their sausage rolls are made in-house. Grabbed one for a quick lunch. Flaky pastry, decent filling. The Dorset apple cake is good too, not too sweet. Solid option if you&#39;re in a hurry.

Had the veggie breakfast with avocado. Ingredients were fresh, everything cooked well. It&#39;s a solid choice for a working breakfast. Service was efficient, got me in and out in good time.

The fish and chips. The batter was light and crisp, not greasy at all. The chips were proper thick-cut and fluffy inside. The mushy peas had a good minty kick. That&#39;s what I come for.

The service was so lovely and relaxed, really made the evening. Food was delicious too.

Been coming here for years, mainly for the live music. The Dolmen band was on last night, good Celtic tunes. It&#39;s a solid local spot for that.

Popped in for lunch and tried the lunch special. Honestly, the lamb curry was just as good as I remember from dinner last time &ndash; same rich sauce, same tender meat. Really solid for the price.

The atmosphere here is really lovely. It&#39;s got this warm, relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger over your coffee. The staff are friendly too, which adds to the whole feel. A nice spot to unwind.

Tried their own-brand wine at the restaurant. It&#39;s a nice touch and really tasty for the price point.

Found this little spot by chance. The free starter was a nice surprise, and my main was huge - couldn&#39;t finish it! Staff were really friendly, not too fussy.

Valet parking was a nice touch. The Miami-style vibe inside is spot on. Just a shame the roast was only beef or pork, no chicken.

Been coming here for years, and their lobster and prawn sandwich is always the reason. It&#39;s just consistently good. Perfect for a quiet lunch spot.

The lunch deal is solid - starter, main and a drink for a fair price. The calamari really stood out, crispy batter and tender inside. A good, straightforward meal.

Popped in for a late lunch and it was so peaceful. The staff were really lovely, and my pasta dish was just right for a quick bite. A nice, quiet find.

Curried goat is solid, like my mum&#39;s. Good flavour. Staff are friendly. Got my food in under 10 mins, perfect for a quick lunch.

The kebab meat here is seriously good. I&#39;m usually picky, but the texture was spot on. Went for the garlic mayo on the side and it was the perfect match. Will be back for that combo.

Had a solid dinner at an outdoor table by the marina. The food was good, reasonably priced, and service was prompt. Atmosphere was relaxed. A straightforward, pleasant evening out.

Been coming here for years, and the lamb curry is always spot on. It&#39;s the reason I keep coming back. Just wish they&#39;d bring back that side of spicy pickles they used to have.

Nice spot for a casual dinner. The relaxed atmosphere and tasteful decor are pleasant, though the restroom signs were a bit quirky.

Popped in for a quick bite, got the lamb rogan josh and garlic naan. The lamb was so tender, and the naan was fresh and warm. Just hits the spot every time.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Pepperoni pizza came out fast, which is exactly what I needed. Tasted pretty good too. Friendly service at the bar. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Great spot for a quick bite. Oysters were fresh, the shallot vinaigrette had a nice ginger kick. Swordfish was solid too.

Service was really attentive. T-bone steak was spot on, seabass was good too. Solid spot for a nice dinner.

Came for brunch with a group. The waiter was really nice about our toddler, even brought over a little colouring sheet. Made the whole thing a lot less stressful. Coffee was good too.

Been coming here for years. The Chicken Tikka Dopiaza is spot on, really hits the spot. Proper flavours, not watered down. Just a solid, reliable curry.

Been here a few times. The roast potatoes were a bit soft last time, but the rest of the food is always solid. Staff are friendly and don&#39;t mind a chat.

Came with a big group last week. The space is really well laid out, felt open but still cosy. We weren&#39;t crammed in at all, which is nice when you&#39;re with a lot of people.

Really friendly staff, and the build-your-own breakfast was spot on. The booths are quite comfy too.
