The service here is so good. They&#39;re always there when you need them, but never hovering. It made our girls&#39; night out feel really relaxed and easy.

Had the tomahawk and the spatchcock chicken. The meat was incredibly tender and full of flavor. Great quality and the service was very friendly.

The staff here are always so nice and on it. Even when the place is packed, they&#39;re quick and you never feel forgotten. Makes it a really easy spot to catch up with friends.

The seafood focus is a nice change. We tried the Goan fish curry and the prawns were spot on. A bit pricey for the portion, but the flavours were all there.

The samosas were really good, probably the best I&#39;ve had. The staff were friendly and helpful too. A solid spot for a casual meal.

Perfect for a quick bite. The paella was loaded with seafood and chorizo. Calamari and chicken wings were solid too. Great view from the balcony over the beach on a sunny day. Got my food fast, which is what I needed.

Adam and Steve were so welcoming. The vibe is relaxed, which I liked. Menu&#39;s straightforward but has options. My only note: the wine list felt a bit limited for the style of food. Still, a nice spot for a casual meal.

Nice spot for a quiet drink. The bar itself is spotless, and the staff were really on it despite the crowd. Had a decent glass of red with my steak - a solid pairing. Could do with a few more interesting wines by the glass, but it did the job.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips are always spot on. Same crispy batter, same flaky cod. It&#39;s just a solid, dependable meal every single time. That consistency is why we keep coming back.

Lovely spot right by the water. Came for a late lunch and the chicken Caesar wrap hit the spot &ndash; the chicken was still warm and the dressing wasn&#39;t too heavy. The brownie was a nice, fudgy finish. Perfect for a sunny autumn afternoon.

Been coming here for years, prices are still decent. Had the burger again last night, it&#39;s always solid. Staff are quick, and they&#39;ll tell you a bit about the area if you ask. Nothing fancy, just a reliable spot.

As someone with food intolerances, their accommodation was spot on. The dishes were incredible, honestly one of the best meals I&#39;ve had.

Been coming here for years, and the pizzas are always spot on. The base is just right &ndash; not too doughy, holds up well. The four cheese and pepperoni are my go-to. Just wish they&#39;d keep napkins stocked for the outdoor tables, that&#39;s all.

Amazing food and excellent service from Sharon who went &quot;over and above&quot; to ensure we all had a fantastic experience; only our second visit, we will definitely make it a first port of call when meeting family/friends for a celebratory meal, plus recommend it to others

Lovely spot for a quiet lunch. I really appreciated the freshness of the ingredients in my salad, everything tasted just-picked. The location is nice for a stroll around the local shops afterwards.

A lovely old pub with a menu that really caters to gluten-free needs. The gluten-free fish and chips I had were spot on &ndash; the batter was crisp and light, and the fish itself tasted incredibly fresh. It&#39;s nice to have such a thoughtful selection.

The scallops were juicy, sauce was great. Whitebait and soup were solid. Chocolate fondant with honey ice cream was a nice finish. Quick and tasty lunch.

A solid find. Menu&#39;s bigger than you&#39;d expect for the size. Owner was attentive, handled a busy lunch well. The Puglian red was a good call. Convenient location near the Branksome pub.

We booked the private dining room for a small gathering. The menu was thoughtfully tailored, which I appreciated. The ingredients in the seasonal salad were incredibly fresh and crisp. A very pleasant evening.

Lovely spot tucked away in the trees, with a view of the park and the aviary. It&#39;s a really peaceful place to just sit and relax. Their brunch menu has some nice options beyond the standard cakes.

Lovely spot to sit outside when the weather&#39;s good. Inside feels a bit too lively and trendy for me, but the modern decor is nice.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always remember my usual order. That kind of consistency keeps me coming back.

Really liked the pet-friendly vibe here, and it&#39;s just a short walk from the beach. The staff were all lovely. My steak was cooked just right, which was nice.

Been back a few times for the pizza. It&#39;s the real deal, thin base with that proper chewy crust. Tastes just like the ones we had in Naples last year. Staff are lovely, never feel rushed.

Great spot after a coastal walk. The fish stew was hearty, with a rich tomato base and fresh mussels. Service was friendly, though a bit slow when they got busy. Nice, relaxed vibe by the water.

Good spot for a quick business breakfast. Service was prompt without feeling rushed, and the food was cooked fresh. Prices are reasonable for the area.

Been coming here for years, and their fish and chips never disappoint. The cod is always spot on &ndash; crispy batter, never greasy, and the chips are just right. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

Pleasant pre Christmas get together with friends. Most courteous to request for special seating. Friendly and courteous service and great carvery with the extensive selection of seasonal and festive vegetables

Grilled fish was spot on, perfectly cooked with a nice char. Seafood casserole was packed with flavour, everything tasted super fresh. A bit pricey, but you can tell they&#39;re using quality ingredients.

The pizza base is fantastic, and they have a nice house red that pairs perfectly with it. A proper Italian spot.
