The chocolate Guinness cake is fantastic. They serve really generous slices, and the seating was comfortable for a relaxed afternoon.

The sausage roll was fantastic! Coffee&#39;s good too. Baguettes are always warm and fresh. Simple stuff, but they do it right. That&#39;s all you need sometimes.

The sausage rolls here are the main draw. Flaky, buttery pastry with a really well-seasoned filling. Good coffee too, strong and not bitter. It&#39;s a solid choice for a quick bite.

Love the covered outdoor area here. It&rsquo;s perfect when you want some fresh air but don&rsquo;t fancy getting dive-bombed by seagulls. The moussaka from their Greek specials board is my go-to. A solid, dog-friendly pub with a nice vibe.

The pastrami ciabatta really caught my eye. That mustard has a serious kick, just a heads up! The coffee was solid. All the cakes and pastries on display looked fantastic, made it hard to pick just one.

Cosy spot with a log fire, perfect for a chilly afternoon. The menu is massive though - so many sandwich and brunch choices it was hard to decide. Ended up with a classic club, which was solid. Could do with a few less options, honestly.

The waffles with real Nutella are a proper treat. What I really liked though was the vibe - it&#39;s got a cosy, lived-in feel that makes you want to stay a while, even if it was a bit busy.

The luxury hot chocolate with three Belgian chocolates is rich and very satisfying. It&#39;s a solid choice for a business meeting or a quick break. A bit pricey for a drink, but the quality is there.

The team here are just lovely. Really warm welcome, and they kept an eye on our table even though it was packed. Made a difference.

Good spot for a quick lunch. Their salads and baguettes are fresh, and they have a few gluten-free cakes. Service is efficient, staff are attentive. It&#39;s clean and well-organised. A solid choice near the office.

The full English was spot on. They were happy to swap out the beans for us, which made it easy to share with my mate who&#39;s picky.

Just popped in for lunch. The Buddha bowl was packed with flavour, really fresh. Plenty of options for veggies and vegans too. Solid spot for a healthy bite.

The coffee is really good, I ended up buying a bag of their beans for home. The barista was lovely and took the time to explain the different roasts. It&#39;s a nice, calm spot to sit for a while.

Stumbled in late after a beach walk. The pizza crust was thin and crisp, with a good char on the edges. Chips were properly golden and salty. Exactly what we needed.

The flat white here is the real deal. Proper microfoam, a rich espresso base that&#39;s not burnt, and just the right temperature. I&#39;ve had it three times now, always consistent. The cup is a bit small for the price, but the quality makes up for it.

Clean spot with a 5-star hygiene rating. A proper greasy spoon, no frills, just honest food done well.

Service was quick and the staff were really nice. They didn&#39;t mind splitting our chips onto two plates, which was a small thing but appreciated. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but it hit the spot.

The staff here are so lovely, really made us feel welcome. They remembered my friend&#39;s name from last time! It&#39;s that kind of friendly spot where you instantly feel at ease. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

The burger was pretty good, and they brought my grandson a little cake for his birthday, which was a nice touch. The place was a bit loud for a quiet chat, but he loved it.

Love that they let you mix ribs and calamari with a salad.

The meat quality here is really good, especially for the price. The bread is super fresh too &ndash; I grabbed a croissant from the counter on the way out and it was still warm. A solid spot for a quick, tasty bite.

Stayed a few nights. The breakfast really stood out for me. The eggs Florentine were lovely, and I appreciated the variety of fresh ingredients available. The eggs tasted so fresh, and there were plenty of healthy options to choose from.

We keep coming back for the lamb shawarma wrap. The meat is always so tender, and that garlic sauce is just right. It&#39;s our go-to spot for a quick, satisfying bite.

The chocolate milkshake here is the real deal. Thick, properly cold, and the flavour is spot on. Just a classic, done right. The spot by the water is a nice bonus, but honestly, I&#39;d come back for that shake alone.
