The fish and chips are cooked fresh to order, so the batter is always light and crispy. You can really taste the difference. It&rsquo;s a proper treat.

The biriyani was spot on - the rice had a lovely texture and the spice mix was just right. Maybe a bit heavy on the turmeric for me, but still a really nice dish. Keen to come back and explore the rest of the menu!

The butter chicken was spot on, and the portions are definitely generous. Good value.

Been coming here for years. The laksa broth is the reason - it&#39;s always rich and spicy, just like I remember it from my first visit. A bit pricier now, but that flavour is consistent. My go-to comfort food spot.

The fish and chips are always spot on. The batter is so light and crisp, just how I like it. The chips are proper thick-cut and never feel oily. A solid choice.

We were looked after very well by Chelsea and Craig who delivered friendly attentive service.The food and service has improved a lot since our previous visit and we will happily go back.Thank you Chelsea and Craig for looking after us today.

The staff were really friendly and on the ball. Our server kept checking in without being intrusive, water glasses were always full. Made for a relaxed evening where we could just enjoy the food.

Been coming here for years. Their cream tea is always spot on, just what you need after a stroll.

Solid pub food. The fish and chips were pretty good, and the homemade fish cakes were a nice touch. We enjoyed everything we ordered. It&rsquo;s a decent spot for a casual meal.

I had a fantastic meal with my friends, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The skewers I ordered were cooked to perfection!

Portions are generous for the price. Food was fresh, and it was ready exactly when they said it would be.

Despite a few minor issues, the overall experience was positive. The staff were friendly and the food was served quickly, which we appreciated.

The portions are generous, so sharing a few dishes is a good idea. The bill came out very reasonable.

The Sunday roast hit the spot. Sat outside, which was nice. Had a slight hiccup with the dessert order, but the food was exactly what we needed. Solid spot.

The staff were lovely, and the food was spot on. Their wine list had a nice little surprise or two, which was a bonus.

Loved the cosy, rustic vibe here. They&#39;ve used the space so cleverly, creating these little nooks that feel almost private. It made our meal feel really relaxed and comfortable.

The set menu is such a steal! The French onion soup was so rich and the duck liver parfait portion was huge. Perfect for sharing with a friend before a night out.

The hot plates are a thoughtful detail, keeping the food warm. I appreciate that the quality of the ingredients feels consistent each time I visit. The vegetables are always fresh and crisp.

We had an absolutely gorgeous meal. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we couldn&rsquo;t have chosen a better venue.Only staying in Climping for two nights, we chose the Oyster Catcher not knowing what we would be faced with. The pub is welcoming and inviting in smart but casual surroundings. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite without being pushy or insincere.Our meal was sensational, tasty Chicken Curry for him and Garlic Lamb Skewer for me. Fabulous! Thank you for making our celebration all the more memorable.

Perfect for a quick bite. Got the blueberry pancakes and a cortado. Pancakes were fluffy, coffee strong. Bar staff were friendly and quick. Just what I needed on a busy day.

The Reuben is the one to get here. Properly messy, the corned beef is stacked high and the sauerkraut has that sharp tang. Swiss cheese melted right through. It&rsquo;s a big sandwich, fills you up. Solid choice.

Stopped in for a steak, but the seabass and haddock with triple-cooked chips caught my eye. Really nicely done. Didn&#39;t expect that here.

Came here for a date night. The welcome was lovely, and every single plate was cleared by the end of each course &ndash; that really says it all about the food. A nice spot for a special occasion.

Stopped by for a quick business lunch. The chicken curry was solid, flavourful without being too heavy. Service was prompt and efficient, which is exactly what I needed. Good option for a reliable meal in the area.
