Lovely to see they welcome dogs, but the real highlight for me was the freshness of the ingredients in the salad. The greens were crisp and vibrant, and the grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned. A very pleasant lunch.

The live music nights are a nice touch. But honestly, I&#39;m here for the food. The fish and chips are the real draw - the batter is light and crisp, and the chips are proper thick-cut. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Good for a proper catch-up. Lively but not too loud. Staff were friendly, knew the menu. Portions are generous, food always fresh. Solid spot.

Been coming here for years. The staff are always friendly and helpful, no matter how busy it gets. They remember regulars, which is nice. Makes the place feel local.

The Tim Taylor&#39;s Landlord on tap was spot on. Good selection of real ales too.

Walked in without a booking and they found us a table straight away. Our server Joeli was really patient with all our questions about the menu. The food was spot on and honestly, for the quality, the prices felt fair. Good portion sizes too.

The fish and chips were spot on! The batter was super light and crispy, and the fish inside was lovely and moist. The chips were great too. Also tried the fish finger sandwich, which was a real winner. Perfect for a casual catch-up with mates.

Still love coming here after all this time. The place just feels cosy and lived-in, like a proper local. The staff are sound, and the food&#39;s always reliable. It&#39;s just a comfortable spot to be.

Lovely spot by the canal for lunch. The outdoor seating was perfect on a sunny day, really helped us unwind. Food was decent, though my salad felt a bit over-dressed. Still, a nice place to relax.

Loved the old-world feel here. The wood beams and the open fire are so cozy, perfect for a quiet pint. Beer selection was solid. Just a really nice, relaxed spot.

The staff were so lovely with our big group! The manager kept checking in, and they handled our separate bills without any fuss. Made it a really easy night out with friends. The space is nice and bright after the reno too.

The steak was cooked a bit more than I asked for, but the quality of the meat itself was solid. They sorted it out quickly when I mentioned it.

Cosy little place, and they were so accommodating with our pushchairs on a packed Saturday. Managed to get a table, which was a relief! The kids&#39; meals were simple but the veggies on the side were actually fresh and crisp, not just an afterthought. That really stood out for me.

Lovely canalside spot, perfect for a chilled drink watching the boats. My Aperol spritz was &pound;14 though, which felt a bit steep for what it was. Nice for a one-off treat, but you&#39;re definitely paying for the view.

Been coming here for years now. It&rsquo;s that classic, no-fuss pub feel that keeps me coming back &ndash; always warm and relaxed. Just a solid local spot.

Various eating areas meant we could sit in a lovely quiet &#39;stables&#39; area.  Food was very good and staff were friendly and attentive.

The gluten-free options here are solid. My friend with coeliac disease had a good choice from the menu, and the kitchen handled it properly. No extra charge, which is a nice touch. Portions were decent for the price, too.

I&#39;ve been several times to the Stablehand and always had a good experience.  Staff are always friendly and efficient.  The food is also generally excellent.  My hake last night was was over salted and the salad drowning in dressing, but the scallop starter was perfect.

The layout of the pub is quite interesting, with its maze of rooms and different bars. It adds a fun twist to the experience, making it feel like an adventure.

The service from the staff was impeccable and wonderfully attentive, with special thanks to waiters like Limo and Alperen who truly made the experience memorable.

Wanted a relaxed place for afternoon lunch and this was perfect.  Only issue is the Fork booking system. didn&#39;t inform the restaurant of our booking.  Thankfully only 2 of us so they were more the restaurant staff was more than happy to accommodate us x

Good spot for a casual business dinner. The vibe is lively, not too loud for conversation. Food was solid, drinks priced fairly. Service was efficient, got us in and out in under 90 minutes. Would book again for a similar work meet-up.

The Sunday roast was a proper treat. That beef was spot on, medium rare and so tender. The Yorkshire puddings were just right, and the gravy had a really deep flavour. A solid Sunday lunch.
