Popped in after a walk along Chesil Beach. The location is spot on, right by the promenade. Had the fish and chips. Portion was decent for the price, not stingy. A solid choice if you&#39;re after a proper meal without breaking the bank.

Lasagne was spot on, hot and hearty. Perfect for a quick lunch. English breakfast looked good too, might try that next time. Service was quick, in and out in under 30 mins.

Solid Sunday roast. Gravy was spot on. Two courses for under &pound;11. Good portions. Nice vibe for a Sunday.

Lovely spot to warm up on a chilly day. The terrace and garden must be great in summer, but the inside space was bright and cosy. Just what we needed.

The burger patty is cooked fresh, so there&#39;s a bit of a wait. But you can taste the difference. Juicy, with a proper sear on the outside. The bun holds up well, doesn&#39;t get soggy. Worth the extra few minutes.

Free overnight parking for campervans if you eat here. That&#39;s the main draw for us. Food was decent pub grub, nothing fancy. Did the job after a long day exploring the castle.

Stopped by for a quick bite after errands. The carvery line moved fast. Good choice of meats and veg, all hot and ready. Filled me up, no fuss. Perfect for a speedy lunch.

Had a nice family lunch here. The staff were really friendly, and they even managed to get my six-year-old to eat something - a win! It&#39;s a relaxed spot, good for a couple of hours.

BYOB and no corkage, so we grabbed a bottle on the way. Food was solid. Just a heads up, it&#39;s cash only or bank transfer &ndash; no cards. Had to sort that out at the end.

The eggs Benedict were spot on, and the sourdough toast was just right. Perfect for a lazy morning by the sea.

The chicken burger&#39;s only &pound;3, which is a steal these days. Went for the medium spice, and the chicken was actually juicy, not dry at all. Solid choice for a quick bite.

Love that you can buy their beans to take home! The decaf is actually good, which is rare. Perfect for when friends come over and I want to make a decent pot of coffee without the caffeine.

You can watch them batter and fry the fish fresh for each order. It&rsquo;s not sitting under a heat lamp. That makes all the difference, honestly. The quality is just spot on.

Nidia was a fantastic waitress. She kept checking in without being overbearing, and our food came out really fast. That kind of attentive service makes a meal so much more relaxed.

Staff suggested the chamomile tea with honey. It was a nice, calming drink for a quick lunch break. They also helped me find my keys I&#39;d left behind. Really decent spot for a fast bite.

Rakesh knows the menu inside out. He helped me pick something that wasn&#39;t too spicy, which was perfect.

Had the bibimbap here last night. The vegetables were so fresh and crisp, and the gochujang had a nice kick without being overpowering. Really appreciated the wholesome ingredients. The staff were lovely too.

Lovely family-run spot, very unpretentious. The decor is simple but spotless, which I appreciate. Had a really relaxed lunch here, the staff were so friendly and made sure I was comfortable. Just a nice, easy place for a quiet meal.

The grilled fish was the star for me. It was cooked perfectly, flaky and moist, with a lovely char on the skin. The freshness really came through. Just a bit pricey for the portion, but I&#39;d order it again.

Friendly spot, the burger was juicy and hit the spot. The bar had a decent local ale on tap which paired nicely. Just a heads up, the kitchen&#39;s shut Mon &amp; Tues nights, but you can grab a takeaway from the bar.

Fresh fish, worth the wait. Had the grilled sea bass, perfectly cooked. Busy night, took a while. But you can tell it&#39;s made to order.

The steak pie was a proper homemade one, lovely flaky pastry. Filling was rich and tender, a really satisfying portion. Just what you want on a cold evening.

Wasn&#39;t expecting the affogato since it&#39;s not listed, but they made it for us anyway! Such a nice surprise to end our catch-up. The coffee was spot on. Made the whole afternoon feel a bit more special.

Portions are definitely on the smaller side, which I actually liked. Meant we could order a few different things without feeling stuffed or wasting food. The scallop dish was just right for two to share.

Booked for a birthday. The scallops were spot on, and the sea bass was lovely. The team was great. What really stood out was the wine list &ndash; found a fantastic white that paired brilliantly with both the seafood dishes. A bit on the pricey side, but the sommelier&rsquo;s suggestion was spot-on.

Frittata with three salads. Curry chickpea and cauliflower one was the best. Everything just tasted really fresh. Solid lunch.

Been here a few times now, it&#39;s a go-to. The lighting is just right for a chill catch-up with friends. Food&#39;s always tasty.

The fried chicken was so juicy and the BBQ sauce on the fries was spot on. Perfect for sharing with mates over a catch-up. Could taste how fresh everything was.
