Staff were so friendly when we arrived, soaked and muddy with our big dog. They even had treats for him. My pint of local ale was the perfect thing to warm up after that walk.

The hanging kebab was a fun presentation. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted.

The cocktail menu really caught my eye. I tried the &#39;Garden Spritz&#39; &ndash; it was so pretty and balanced, with fresh herbs. Really lifted the whole dinner.

Service was spot on when we had a hiccup with our order. Really appreciated how they handled it.

Portions are generous for the price. Left feeling satisfied without overspending.

The staff were so good with our big group, got us all settled in without any fuss. It was actually a pretty relaxing dinner, which can be rare with a crowd.

The king prawns and T-bone were spot on. It&#39;s the kind of place where you can just settle in for a proper meal without any fuss. The lighting is warm and the chairs are actually comfortable, which is a nice change.

Chef and host are so friendly. Felt like a local spot. Warm, cozy vibe. Just a nice, simple dinner.

Menu has solid options. The student and family deals are a plus. Portions are decent, didn&#39;t feel overpriced. Good spot for a straightforward meal.

The tasting menu was a real journey. Each plate was like a tiny piece of art, especially the bass&mdash;it just melted. A lovely, thoughtful evening.

Lunch menu&#39;s a steal. Got the pasta special, portion was huge. Garlic bread on the house was a nice surprise. Couldn&#39;t finish it all. Solid spot for a midday feed.

I had a fabulous afternoon tea at The Ivy, where the food was delightful and the staff were fantastic. The chocolate cake served in a plant pot was a fun surprise, and the desserts were simply delicious. A truly wonderful experience!

The food here is amazing and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal without breaking the bank.

Some of the best Thai food in Europe! Menu had a great variety. Food was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely eat here again. Highly recommend!

The food tastes so authentic, just like in Thailand. I really appreciate how fresh and vibrant the ingredients are.

Lovely Sunday roast, and the pub is dog friendly. The staff were very welcoming. What really stood out for me was the freshness of the vegetables - the carrots and parsnips were perfectly roasted, not at all soggy. A very nice, wholesome meal.

Convenient spot for a pre-event bite. Had the steak frites. Steak was cooked right, decent portion. A bit pricey for what it is, but you&#39;re paying for the location I guess.

Been coming here for years, and the naan is always spot on. Just a heads up about the 10% service charge though.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s the cosy, relaxed vibe that keeps me coming back. Always feels like a proper local pub, even on busy nights.

Been coming here for years, and the garden is always a highlight. Love sitting out there with a drink, it&#39;s so peaceful and well-maintained. The room was fine, but honestly, I keep coming back for that spot. Just a really nice, consistent vibe.

The burgers are fantastic, but I really love the vibe here. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot to eat.

Great spot for a quick bite. The jalfrezi was full of flavour and came out fast. Also tried the keema cheese naan, which was a solid choice. Perfect for when you&#39;re in a rush.

Great little spot for a quick lunch. Feels like a proper family-run Italian place. Got the carbonara, came out fast and was spot on. Definitely gets packed though, had to wait a bit for a table.

Staff swapped a dish for my dietary restriction, no fuss. The meat thali was a good call, loads of variety on one plate. Just what I needed after a long walk.

Cozy spot, no frills. Owners are lovely, makes it feel personal. Had the braised lamb shank - fell off the bone, rich sauce. Could&rsquo;ve used a touch more seasoning for my taste, but the meat itself was spot on. Solid neighbourhood find.

The outdoor play area was a lifesaver! Our little ones were happily occupied, so we could actually chat and enjoy our food without interruptions. A real game-changer for a family lunch.
