A nice local spot for a catch-up. I appreciate that they clearly mark the gluten-free and dairy-free options on the menu. Had the avocado toast with poached eggs&mdash;the eggs were perfectly runny and the avocado was fresh and creamy. The coffee is decent too. A reliable choice for a simple, healthy bite.

My gluten-free friend was so happy here! She actually got a proper menu, not just one or two sad options. We shared the GF pizza and it was really good. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up.

Staff were really kind and helpful. Had a minor issue and someone went out of their way to sort it for me. Appreciated that a lot. Quick, no-fuss help when you need it.

First time trying the hot pot here. The staff really took their time explaining the different broths and how to mix the sauces. The all-you-can-eat deal is solid, you get plenty of sides included.

Staff were so friendly and helpful, even with our big group arriving late with kids. They made us feel really welcome. That kind of service is a big plus.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole evening feel very relaxed. They even brought a few little extras for the kids without us asking, which was a really nice touch. Just a very comfortable, easy meal.

A decent spot for brunch. The coffee&#39;s pretty good and the outdoor area has a nice rustic feel, even if the chairs are a bit worn.

Loved stopping here with my pup. They&#39;re so welcoming to dogs inside, which is a nice change. Even had a little treat for him. Made our walk way better.

Been coming here for years for their afternoon tea. The sandwiches are always fresh, and the cakes are homemade. It&#39;s a nice little spot off the main road. Gets a bit busy on weekends though.

The chicken jalfrezi here has a nice kick to it, almost like a tandoori flavour. Got a huge portion delivered, and the driver was a really friendly chap. Solid for a random Tuesday night.

Popped in for a coffee and ended up staying a while. It&#39;s got that nice, busy hum without feeling crowded. Staff were quick with a smile and kept my cup topped up. Just a solid, cosy spot.

Love that they use veggies you don&#39;t see everywhere. Makes the whole meal more interesting to share with friends.

Popped in for a weekend breakfast. The open kitchen downstairs is a lovely touch - you can see everything being prepped, which feels really fresh. The rustic-modern vibe is spot on for a relaxed morning.

The staff were so lovely when I was a bit lost with the menu. They walked me through a few dishes and suggested the lamb korma, which turned out to be just what I wanted. Really appreciated their patience!

Decent vegan waffles, which is a nice change. Went for the strawberry, banana, and chocolate one. It was fresh and hit the spot. Not mind-blowing, but a solid choice if you&#39;re after a plant-based dessert around here.

The student deal is a lifesaver! Got a free upgrade to a large on a Tuesday. Perfect for when you&#39;re catching up with friends and trying to stretch the budget. Made our little midweek dinner feel like a proper treat.

The new garden area is a real upgrade. It&#39;s fully covered and heated, so you can sit out there comfortably even on a cooler evening. They&#39;ve got some decent student deals on drinks and food too.

Prices are decent here. I got a couple of their salads and mezes - the portions were generous for what you pay. Pastries are tasty too. It&#39;s a good spot if you&#39;re watching your budget but still want a proper meal.

The vegan unicorn cake with rainbow sponge was the main event. The sponge was moist, not dry like some vegan cakes can be. The frosting had a nice vanilla flavour, not too sweet. It held up well for the party. Everyone finished their slice.

Been coming here for years, and the crispy duck is always spot on. Just the right amount of crisp on the skin, meat stays tender. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

Large group, no problem. Staff handled it smoothly. Felt welcome from the start. Efficient service.

Been coming here for years, and the staff are always so kind. They even washed my kid&#39;s dropped fork without a fuss.

The staff here are so lovely. They remembered my name from last time and asked how my week was going. Felt genuinely looked after, not just served.

The chicken strips were spot on, and the salad actually had some thought put into it! A nice surprise for delivery.

The coffee was delicious, really smooth. I liked the textured milk. The eggs in the sunshine were a perfect combo with it. The staff were friendly too.

I was really pleased to find a proper vegan roast here, it&#39;s not always easy. The staff were very accommodating about my request. A nice, relaxed spot where they welcome dogs too, which is a bonus.

Been coming here for years whenever I&#39;m in town. Had the full English breakfast this morning - proper sausages, eggs done just right. Popped back in the afternoon for a pint. Staff are always dead sound.

Staff were helpful and patient, took time to explain the menu. No pressure to order quickly. Good service.
