Lovely floral decor, very pretty inside. The atmosphere was perfect for a quiet dinner. I had the lamb chops, and the sommelier suggested a bold red that paired beautifully with the dish. A bit on the pricier side, but the wine advice was spot-on.

Came for a Sunday roast, the pork belly was lovely and crispy. Staff were really friendly, they checked in on us just the right amount. A very comfortable spot for a relaxed lunch.

Loved the James Bond booth! The waitress suggested a perfect martini to go with the vibe. Really made the evening.

Lovely, bright space with those big windows. The staff were friendly, food was great, and they had a good beer selection. We all enjoyed it.

Been coming here for years, and the food&#39;s always spot on. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. The consistency is rare these days. Had the steak frites again last night, cooked just right as always.

Been a regular for years. The staff always remembers our usual orders and checks in just the right amount. It&#39;s the kind of consistent, thoughtful service that makes you feel genuinely looked after.

Lovely local pub, feels very welcoming. The new patio area is a nice touch, and I appreciate that they&#39;re dog-friendly. Staff were attentive, vibe was relaxed.

The staff here are so friendly and attentive. They really make you feel looked after. The food was lovely, but it was the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that made the evening so nice.

A really nice local pub. The staff are super friendly and made me feel welcome straight away. I had the fish and chips, which was spot on. A comfortable spot to relax for a bit.

A reliable spot for a nice meal out. The food is always well-presented and tasty. What really makes it for me is the comfortable seating &ndash; you can settle in for a while without feeling rushed. A good, straightforward experience.

The old bank building is stunning, and their wine list is a perfect match for the setting.

Jade was really nice about our last-minute cancellation. Will definitely come back to eat here.

The food and service were excellent.   Just wish the plates and food were hotter.   I&#39;ve said this before and I accept that it cannot be perfect, but it would be great if both the plates and the food could be hotter.

Been coming here for years. The grilled skate is always spot on, and the chips are just right. Had to get a box for the leftovers this time.

The skate with gluten-free batter was a nice surprise! The fish itself was lovely and fresh. It&#39;s a solid choice if you&#39;re avoiding gluten. We had a good catch-up over it.

Always have great food here but this time it was spectacular ???? great service, lovely helpful waiters, lovely experience thank you ???? ????

The tapas were spot on, but the real star was the wine list. Found a fantastic Rioja that paired beautifully with the chorizo and patatas bravas. Staff were great, got our big order out all at once. A bit pricey on the drinks, but worth it for the pairing.

This restaurant has a nice location with ample parking, and the food is well-priced with reasonable portions. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice spot, feels cosy. I liked the fresh flowers on the tables, made it feel welcoming. Good for a relaxed dinner.

Josie&rsquo;s a lovely host, really makes you feel welcome. The chicken satay skewers are spot on, and the egg fried rice is so fluffy.

A clean spot, staff are friendly and professional. The table service with proper plates and cutlery is appreciated. Their wine list is decent, found a nice Pinot Noir that went well with the evening. A solid choice for a proper sit-down meal.

The cocktails were incredible, really well-balanced. The set menu had some nice surprises, though one course felt a bit rushed. Still, a solid evening out.

Friendly staff on the phone for ordering. The interior decor is pleasant.

Table service is a nice touch, feels a bit old-school compared to other fast-food places. Food was decent.

The smashed avo on sourdough was spot on. The egg was perfectly runny, and the bread had that great tangy chew to it. Just what I needed for a lazy Saturday brunch.

A real gem for board game lovers. The hot chocolate was solid, but the cakes on display looked incredible. I&#39;ll definitely be back to try a slice. Plenty of tables and it&#39;s quiet enough to actually focus on your game. Friendly folks at the counter too.

This restaurant offers an excellent venue with superb food, service, and ambiance. The gluten-free options are a great addition, making it a standout choice among similar establishments.

The staff here are so lovely. They noticed I was struggling with the menu and came over to explain a few dishes, really helped me decide.

The munchy box is a solid takeaway choice. The mix of textures works well, crispy bits alongside the softer fillings. Always hits the spot when you just want something easy and satisfying.

Stopped by for a quick dinner. The food was solid and came out fast, which was nice. Staff were friendly.
