Jess provided fabulous service, and the classic pub food was delightful. The views from the restaurant added to the overall experience.

Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff at Toby Carvery managed everything efficiently. Our waiter Kai was friendly and provided great service, making our visit enjoyable.

Meat Free Mondays is a solid deal. Got the vegan fish and chips, plus the smoked tofu salad. Everything came out fast, which is key for a quick lunch. The &#39;fish&#39; was surprisingly good. Decent portion too.

Love the local Harvey&#39;s ales here! The staff really know their stuff and helped me pick one. Perfect for a chilled catch-up with friends over a pint. 🍻

Tables were nicely spaced, felt safe. They have a covered outdoor bit with heaters, so you can sit outside even if it&#39;s a bit chilly. Staff were really helpful when we asked to move.

A proper old-school pub, just what you wanted. The Christmas decorations were up, felt really cosy. Had a pint by the fire, it was just the thing on a cold night. A nice change from all the shiny new bars.

I am so lucky to have The Rodmill as my local eaterie. Donna and Gemma were so welcoming to my dog Dora. She loved the attention!.The food is very good and well priced. Special offers just enhance this. Visited 26/9/2026

Booked for a big group. Staff handled it all smoothly from start to finish. Food came out quick, no stress. Made the evening easy.

The roast dinner and fish and chips are solid, generous portions too. The space itself is nice and bright.

Lovely little garden out back. Grabbed a pint after a walk, sat there for ages. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t hurry us along even though it was getting late.

Loaded fries were solid, especially the maple chilli and cheese bacon ones. The pub&#39;s relaxed vibe is a plus. Good spot for a quick, casual meal.

Booked a pre-theatre lunch. The food was good and came out quickly, which is what you need when you&#39;re heading to the Royal Hippodrome. No fuss, just a solid meal.

Came for the Sunday roast, and the pork was the standout. Really generous portion, and the flavour was spot on. Just a shame the gravy was a bit on the thin side for my liking.

Popped in for lunch with a friend. The ham, egg and chips was a solid, filling plate for the price. Staff were quick, which was great as we were catching up!

The almond croissant was spot on. They had a nice selection of wines by the glass that paired well with the savoury pastries.

Came here with a few mates for a catch-up. The vibe was just right for that - buzzing but you could still talk. Cocktails were really good, well-balanced and strong enough. My old fashioned was spot on. A solid spot for a casual night out.

Love the funky decor and our corner booth was perfect for catching up with friends. The chicken burger was juicy and fresh!

Been coming here for years. The Vietnamese fried chicken is always spot on, keeps me coming back.

The seats are really comfy, which makes a big difference for a relaxed meal. Nice spot in the centre.

The smashed patty burger was spot on, cheese melted just right. Vegan burger and tenders were a nice surprise too.

The mussels were the star for me. Really fresh, and the broth was so flavourful and hearty. It felt like a proper seafood feast. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal very relaxed and enjoyable.

The beef was cooked exactly as requested. Good selection of vegetables with the Sunday roast.

Grabbed a quick bite here. The nachos were solid, exactly what you want for a casual lunch. Food came out fast, which is key for me. Decent spot for a no-fuss meal.

The fish and chips were lovely, the batter was so light and crispy. But the real star was the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. You could tell it was made with really fresh, quality ingredients. A nice, simple finish to the meal.

Been coming here for years. Their wine list is always solid, and the vibe is just right for a quiet night out. It&#39;s the one place I know I can count on for that.

Love the vibe here, especially on a Sunday evening. The live jazz is just the right volume for a chat. The decor feels genuinely unique, not like a chain. A bit pricey for a pint, but you&#39;re paying for the setting.

Lovely spot. We had a big surprise party here and the staff were brilliant - really discreet about the whole thing. Everyone&#39;s food came out just right, which is tricky with a large group. A really smooth evening.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a proper local pub. Staff are friendly, the garden&#39;s a sun trap in the afternoon. Drinks are always well kept. Just a nice, easy spot.
