Lively but still classy vibe, perfect for a relaxed evening. The wine list is well-curated, had a lovely red that paired beautifully with the steak. Just a bit on the louder side when it gets busy.

Been coming for years. The food&#39;s still spot on, but I&#39;ve always noticed the portions are a bit small for what you pay.

The fish and chips were a lovely find. The batter was so light and crispy, which I really appreciate. The fish inside was fresh and flaky, not oily at all. A nice, simple meal done well.

Perry and Tamsin were lovely servers, really polite and helpful. All the staff were a credit to the place. The pizza was pretty good too. A decent evening out.

Been ordering their curry for months now, and it&#39;s always spot on. Even delivered, it arrives piping hot and tastes just like it does in the restaurant. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The interior here is a pleasant surprise for a chain pub. They&#39;ve kept some lovely original features, like the ornate ceiling and those old photographs. A decent glass of red felt right at home in that setting.

Always a solid choice for a quick bite. Valentina was super efficient and friendly, got my order out fast. The food&#39;s consistently good, no surprises. Perfect for when you&#39;re in a rush.

The staff here are so thoughtful. They remembered a regular&#39;s birthday and gave her flowers.

Get there early if you want the crab. The simple menu is all about fresh local seafood, and their house white wine was a perfect match for the shellfish.

A lovely, cosy spot. The sea bass special was really nicely done, and the sticky toffee pudding was just right. What stood out was how comfortable the seating was &ndash; you could settle in for a while without feeling rushed.

Popped in for a quick bite and had the pan-fried cod. It was really well done, crispy skin and the fish was spot on. A proper find for a pub meal. Just a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.

The burrito was enormous, almost comically so. We had a good laugh trying to figure out how to tackle it. Staff were really friendly about it too. Definitely got my money&#39;s worth on the portion size.

Perfect for a casual work lunch! Our server Star was so lovely and made sure our drinks were always topped up. The lunch deal with unlimited coffee and soft drinks is a steal. We ended up staying for ages just chatting.

The chips are spot on, and the wine list has some decent options to go with them. Generous portions, everything cooked fresh.

Breakfast was spot on. The eggs were just right, bacon crispy, and the toast was fresh. Quick service too. A solid way to start the day.

Nice little spot. Prices are fair, and the flavours are solid. Had the lamb chops, and they paired really well with a glass of their house red. Could have been a touch warmer, but the wine saved the day. Decent value.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. The chicken curry is always fresh and packed with flavour. In and out in 20 minutes. Just what I need.

Butterfly chicken platter. Food came out crazy fast, like a fast food joint. Good selection of sauces to pick your heat.

The on-site microbrewery is a cool feature. Had a nice pint of their real ale in the outdoor area.

They were so friendly from the moment we walked in. It just felt nice, you know? That kind of welcome really makes a difference.

Decent fish and chips, nothing fancy. The real draw is the outside seating with a full view of the beach. Perfect for a quick lunch between meetings. Service was prompt, which I appreciate.

A solid little spot near Victoria Park. The mega breakfast hit the spot &ndash; bacon was cooked just right, not too crispy. Sweet potato soup was decent, a bit on the thick side for me. Friendly service.

The happy hour mocktails are a nice touch for those of us who don&#39;t drink. My partner enjoyed a classic martini, but I was perfectly happy with my non-alcoholic spritz. It had a good balance, not too sweet.

Been coming here for years. The steak et frites is always spot on, never had a bad one. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.
