Been coming here for years, and the little touches are always spot on. That dry ice with the mains, the warm towel, the chocolate with the bill. It&rsquo;s the consistency I keep coming back for.

The setting is stunning, but the food is what I remember. The grilled octopus was perfectly tender, with a smoky char that didn&rsquo;t overpower the natural sweetness. Paired it with their house white. That&rsquo;s the dish I&rsquo;d come back for.

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.

Always grab takeaway from here, it&#39;s our local Indian spot. The chicken tikka masala is just right, not too heavy. Perfect for a cosy night in. Parking across the road is handy too.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s my local. The Sunday roast is always solid, proper Yorkshire puddings. Had it last week, beef was spot on. Can get a bit busy though.

The lamb biryani was the star for me. Really fragrant rice and the meat was so tender. The place itself has a cosy, homely feel which was a nice surprise.

The lunch deal is a steal! Got the soup to start and the chicken curry main. The curry was packed with flavour, and the portion was huge &ndash; I couldn&rsquo;t finish it all. Perfect for a filling midday meal.

The salt and pepper squid is a standout, no doubt. But for the portion size, the price felt a bit steep this time. Still, delivery was super quick as always.

Chicken noodle soup was loaded with goodies, not just broth. So satisfying!

Came here for a Christmas party with a big group. They had everything set up for us beforehand, which made it easy. Staff were really attentive all night.

Lovely place for a christening party. They let us bring our dog in, which was so nice. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We could put up our own decorations too. Just a really warm, easy vibe for a family day.

The lunch menu portions are decent for the price, and they do good meal deals.

I was impressed with the quality of the food, especially the gammon and chips. The service was very attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

THE FOOD &amp; THE SERVICE WERE VERY GOOD. DIDN&#39;T HAVE TO WAIT FOR SERVICE &amp; THE MENU CHOICE WAS GOOD AND REASONABLY PRICED. WOULD GO BACK

The Ploughman&#39;s lunch was solid. Generous slices of ham, a good chunk of cheese, and the baguette was fresh. Salad was crisp. Felt like a proper, filling meal for the price.
