Solid Italian spot. The pasta was cooked just right, sauce had good flavour. Pizzas are thin and crisp, toppings are decent. The garlic sauce on the veg side is potent, but the vegetables were fresh. Service was efficient.

Great spot right in the centre, super easy to get to from the station. The main thing for me was the space itself&mdash;really liked the high ceilings and the big windows, felt very open and light. Just a nice, relaxed place to sit for a bit.

Service was prompt and professional. They handled a last-minute booking change without any fuss. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Good to see a place that gets the basics right.

Really appreciate the freshness of the ingredients here. Had the grilled salmon salad for lunch and the greens were crisp, the fish tasted just-cooked. It&#39;s a reliable spot for a light, healthy meal. The happy hour prices are a nice bonus.

Been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. Ordered the pad thai again last night, and it was exactly as I remember&mdash;same generous portion, same rich flavour. That kind of reliability is hard to find.

Perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink, right by the Town Hall. We had a lovely glass of red on the terrace before heading off. The wine list was decent, a good selection by the glass. A bit pricey for the area, but you&#39;re paying for that central location.

Lovely spot for a light lunch. The space is bright and airy, especially by the big glass windows. I had a scone from their fresh bake selection - it was nice, though the seating felt a bit cramped when the place got busy.

Looks basic from the outside, but the food is seriously good. Got the chicken sandwich for a quick lunch, came out fast. Spotless inside too.

Quick breakfast with friends, and the staff were really friendly. Food was tasty and the portions are generous, so we left happy!

The service was spot on. Staff were friendly and professional, but what stood out was the sommelier&#39;s advice on a wine pairing for our main course. It just clicked. Made the whole evening. A bit on the pricey side for the bottle, but worth it for the experience.

Been here a few times now, both dining in and getting takeaway. The chicken saag with onion rice is my go-to, so flavourful! The staff are always so friendly, which makes it a nice spot to catch up with friends.

The game pie is the reason I come back. The crust is flaky, the filling is rich with venison and rabbit, not dry at all. It&#39;s a proper, hearty portion. The burger is decent, but the pie is what they do best.

Lunch was a solid 7/10. The warm bread was a lovely touch, and the beef fillet was cooked just right &ndash; really tasty. The pork loin was a bit plain for my taste, but I&#39;d come back for that beef any day.

Always book ahead! It was packed when we got there, and we only just squeezed in. Had to eat a bit quickly as they needed the table back. Still, a fun spot for a catch-up with mates.

Food came out quick and tasted good. Had the pasta and a couple of small plates, decent variety and prices were fair. Solid spot for a casual bite.

The pesto gnocchi was really nice, and I enjoyed a couple of decent cocktails at the bar. Service was attentive and professional, which made dining alone quite pleasant. A solid spot for a solo meal.

The Massaman curry was so comforting, rich and creamy with tender chunks of beef. The green curry had a lovely, fragrant kick to it. Both were spot on. The staff were really sweet and attentive, even on a packed Friday night.

The grilled fish was spot on, and the wine list had some nice options. Staff were really good at checking in without hovering, which was perfect for catching up with friends. Made for a relaxed evening.

Bottomless brunch was solid. The staff kept the drinks topped up without asking, which was perfect. Menu looks great, will be back to try more.

Tried the tasting menu. Interesting flavours, not your usual fare. Service was prompt and efficient. The decor is quirky, they&#39;ve kept some of the original features. A solid choice for a business lunch in the area.

Stopped in on a road trip. The salt and pepper ribs were spot on&mdash;crispy and full of flavour. The real winner was their house red, a robust Shiraz that cut through the richness perfectly. Service was attentive without being fussy. A very pleasant surprise indeed.

Been coming here for years. The fried chicken and chorizo tostada are always spot on. You can taste the fresh ingredients, it&#39;s clear they don&#39;t cut corners. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The decor here is so inviting, really cosy. Staff handled our big group without a fuss, still found time for a quick chat. Felt relaxed the whole time.

Popped in for a coffee and cake deal during a Lake District walk. The cafe had these lovely big windows, so you could just sit and watch the world go by with your drink. Really nice spot to take a break.
