No booking but got a table quick even at Christmas. Sophy&rsquo;s suggestions were spot on. Food came fast and hit the spot. Perfect for a quick bite when you&rsquo;re in a rush.

The fish and chips were spot on, really fresh and crispy. The carbonara was lovely too. I appreciated the comfortable seating, made the whole meal feel very relaxed.

The grilled fish was the highlight. It tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked. The setting in the Town Mill is nice, but honestly, I&#39;m here for the fish. That&#39;s what you should order.

Lunch stop. Pizza and calamari with Greek potatoes were solid. Quick and friendly service. Nice spot across from the museum.

Service was spot on all evening. Staff were friendly, attentive without being overbearing. The sommelier&rsquo;s suggestion for a glass of red to go with the steak was just right. Made for a relaxed, enjoyable dinner.

The full English is cooked just right. Good value for money in town. Coffee could be a touch stronger for my taste.

Coffee walnut cake was spot on. Rocky road too. All homemade. Good selection of cakes and scones.

Love the family-run feel here. The chef came out to say hello to our table, which was such a nice touch. Made our girls&#39; night feel extra cosy. The pasta was good, but that personal vibe is what I&#39;ll remember.

Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Just the right balance for a relaxed meal.

Booked the private area for a party. Lizzy and the team sorted everything out smoothly. The food from the chefs was good, and honestly, the cost for the whole setup felt very reasonable for what we got.

The Christmas specials were solid. The gingerbread latte had a nice spice, not too sweet. The mince pies were warm, flaky pastry. Good for a quick festive pick-me-up.

Suttons Super Breakfast is my go-to when I&#39;m in town. The produce is always fresh, cooked just right. The beans are properly hot, which is a nice touch. It&#39;s a reliable spot.

Great quick stop on the way to Cornwall. The biker cafe vibe is cool and the food came out fast. Decent spot for a bite.

Popped in for a coffee and a slice of their chocolate cake. The coffee was a really good, strong flat white. Cake was decent, a bit dry maybe. Just what I needed on a grey afternoon.

Loved the lamb here, so tender. And the local beer was a nice touch. It&#39;s a proper cosy spot for a roast, feels like a family-run place. Just book ahead, it gets busy.

The sausage and onion quiche was the star here. Really generous slice, clearly just out of the oven. Flaky pastry and a nice, savoury filling. A solid choice for a quick lunch.

My visit to The Kitchen was nothing short of amazing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I especially loved the cauliflower fritters and the signature dessert!

The Panang curry is fantastic, but the portion size felt a bit small for the price. I was still a little peckish afterwards. It&#39;s delicious, just wish there was a bit more of it.

The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. They really took their time to explain the menu and made us feel right at home. Service was spot on, not rushed at all. Just a really nice, relaxed vibe thanks to them.

Quick coffee and pastry stop. Staff are super efficient, got my order out in no time. Coffee was good, croissant fresh. Perfect for a fast bite when you&#39;re in a rush.

Evening visit, and lots of the menu was sold out. Bit of a shame, but what we had was tasty and came out steaming hot.

Proper old pub at the top of Cheap Street. Had a pint here, really liked the local vibe. Place is spotless and feels well-run. Just a solid, no-fuss spot.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s our local. The fruit scones are always fresh and warm, just the right amount of crumble. They don&#39;t skimp on the jam and clotted cream either. A solid spot for a quiet cuppa.

The bartender was so nice, really made our little group feel welcome. Everyone working there seems genuinely friendly, which is nice when you&#39;re just catching up with friends.

The staff were so considerate about my dietary needs. They checked everything carefully and made me feel completely at ease. It&#39;s rare to have a meal out without any worry.

The member pricing on the main courses is a solid perk. The ribeye was cooked exactly right, but the peppercorn sauce was a bit thin for my taste. Still, the meat itself was spot on.

The caramelised onion on my panini was just right, not too sweet. The gentleman serving us was so polite, it added to the cozy feel of the place. A really nice lunch spot.

Came in just before closing and they were so chill about it. Everything was cooked fresh, which you could really taste in the pasta. Nice to not feel rushed out the door.

Steak pie with veg and roasties. Big portion, tasted like proper home cooking. Good value for money, felt like a decent feed.
