The veggie biryani here is the real deal. Basmati rice is perfectly separate, not mushy at all. The whole spices are fragrant, and the potatoes have a nice bite to them. Samosas are crispy and well-seasoned. Food is always served hot, which is a big plus for me.

The burgers are consistently decent, and the fries are nice and crisp. I&#39;m particularly fond of the coleslaw, it&#39;s seriously tasty. A solid spot for a reliable meal.

The ordering app is a nice touch, makes things so easy. Just tap a few times and your food&#39;s on the way. Got a little discount through it last time too.

The milkshakes are the real star here, honestly. We came for a casual catch-up and ended up just ordering more shakes. The fries were good, but we barely touched them. It was a bit dim where we sat, but still a fun spot for a spontaneous hangout.

A handy spot for a pre-theatre dinner. It was pretty busy but had a decent atmosphere. The pasta I had was fine, though the portion felt a bit small. Would return.

Came here for a birthday brunch with the girls. The space is huge, so we didn&#39;t feel packed in at all. Ended up in the karaoke booth after our mimosas &ndash; such a fun idea for a group!

Lovely old pub, very clean and relaxed. The front and back outdoor spaces are great for a pint. The barman with the beard knew his stuff, suggested a really nice local ale that went perfectly with my ploughman&#39;s lunch. Just what I needed.

The brill special was spot on. Really fresh, cooked just right. Sticky toffee pudding hit the spot too. Good tunes in the background, made for a relaxed evening.

The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. It was a calm spot to unwind after a long trip.

Breakfast wrap was decent, good portion. Tea selection is extensive, cakes looked fresh. Service was prompt, which I appreciate on a workday morning. Convenient location near the station.

Pastries, cakes, bread. All fresh. The selection is huge, honestly too good. Spent ages just staring at the counter. Ended up with a pain au chocolat and a croissant. Couldn&#39;t pick just one.

Outstanding food as always and a great ambience. The cocktails are stunning and I have no idea how any chef can make tomato bread taste so good 😋

The owners are this really sweet Japanese couple. They surprised me with a matcha and strawberry cake for my birthday &ndash; it was so thoughtful! The matcha flavour was spot on, not too sweet. Just a really nice touch to the meal.

Always a treat to come back. Those chips are honestly the best&mdash;crispy outside, fluffy inside. Just a note, they switch to the daily menu in summer, so no Sunday roast then.

The steak and ale pie was the standout. Rich, dark gravy, tender beef that fell apart, and a proper flaky pastry top. The mash was creamy, not lumpy. That&#39;s the kind of pub food you come back for.

The seafood pasta was the highlight. The sauce had a nice briny depth, and the clams were perfectly cooked, not rubbery at all. A solid dish.

Grabbed takeaway from here, super convenient spot. The parking situation is a bit of a nightmare though, had to circle the block twice. Food was ready on time and still hot when I got home.

The Sunday roast was spot on, proper Yorkshire puddings and all. Pub itself has that cosy, old-world feel.

Been coming here for breakfast a few times a week. The staff are always so friendly and polite, and I really appreciate the table service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, just the right level of buzz. Spent the whole evening feeling completely at ease. The staff were warm and funny too, which really added to it.

The cookie dough and toffee fudge ice cream were spot on. Really liked the vibe in here, it&#39;s a nice spot to just sit and enjoy a scoop. The space feels relaxed and the lighting is soft.

Been coming here for years, and the burgers are always spot on. Never had a bad one. They&rsquo;re just as good as the big-name places, but you get a proper meal without the chain vibe. Honestly, that&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.

Booked on a whim for a treat and it was a fine evening. The portions were just right for a comfortable three-course meal. Service was attentive, though the pacing between courses felt a touch slow at one point.

Stopped by after visiting the abbey. The vibe was comfortable and the staff were lovely. Perfect for winding down.

The staff were really helpful when I asked to tweak my order. Food came out piping hot, and the price was fair.

Staff were really nice and helpful. Made it feel like a chill spot to hang out. Food took a bit long, but they were apologetic about it.

Been coming here for years, and the real ales are always spot on. Properly kept, never a bad pint. That&rsquo;s why I keep coming back. The rest is good, but it&rsquo;s the ale that&rsquo;s reliable.

Been coming here for years, and the curry is always spot on. It&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.
