Duck and lamb chops were spot on, really tender. Salmon linguine was a bit too creamy for my taste, but the potatoes were a nice side. Decent meal overall.

Easy to find under the stag statue. The burger was decent, nothing fancy but hit the spot.

Stumbled upon this place while walking by the river. The garden out back is lovely and quiet, a real escape from the city heat. Had a simple lunch here, it was nice. Saw a few families enjoying themselves too.

Decent selection of beers on tap. Prices are a bit high for the area though.

Been coming here for years, and that terrace view over the bay never gets old. Just a lovely spot for dinner on a summer evening.

Been coming here for years, and the chicken tikka curry is always spot on. Comes with rice, naan, and a poppadom. Still only takes about 15 minutes from ordering. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

A proper local pub, warm and inviting. The staff were friendly. Menu had a good variety, including daily specials. I appreciated their wine list &ndash; a decent selection of reds by the glass that paired well with the steak pie. A solid choice for a relaxed evening.

Service was efficient for our group of 8. The waitress was attentive, kept drinks topped up and handled the separate bills without fuss. Made a busy Friday dinner run smoothly.

Been here a few times now. The staff are always lovely and efficient, and the place is consistently clean. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for a good, straightforward meal. You know exactly what you&#39;re getting.

The restaurant was Christmassy and the waitress went out of her way to be helpful particularly as I have a food allergy.  The ambience was lovely and the food really nice.  All in all a lovely lunch!

Spacious, clean, and comfortable. The orange colour scheme is quite nice. A solid spot for a relaxed business lunch. Service was efficient, food arrived promptly. The grilled sea bass was well-prepared. Good for a straightforward meal without fuss.

The fish pie was absolutely packed with flavour, really generous portion too. Just found the mash topping a bit too thick for my liking, but still a solid dish.

The homemade cakes and scones were lovely. I really appreciated how fresh everything tasted, you could tell the ingredients were good quality. The scone in particular was so light. A nice spot for a treat.

The food was really good, but the personal touches from the staff are what stood out for me.

Decent curry for a Thursday night. Good portion size, tasted fine. The lounge area is nice for a quick pint after. Bread was a bit greasy though. Does the job for a quick bite.

Lovely meal here! The service was decent, didn&#39;t have to wait ages for anything. Prices felt reasonable for what you get. I&#39;d definitely swing by again.

Lovely cod and chips by the river. The batter was spot on, crispy and light. Fish was a good size, chips were decent too. Service was friendly. A bit pricey for what it is, but the sunny spot made it worthwhile.

Loved the maritime theme here, so many interesting artifacts to look at. The fish and chips were good, but what really stood out for me was the freshness of the ingredients. The peas were bright and the fish tasted very clean. A solid choice for a simple, well-made meal.

Dog-friendly spot with water bowls and treats at the bar. Our dog was happy, which made the visit smooth. Convenient for a quick stop.

Busy night with a big group, but the service was spot on. They kept things moving, never felt rushed or forgotten. Really smooth operation.

The staff were so helpful with my dietary needs, and the seats were actually comfortable. Really appreciated that.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always solid. Love that you can pick your potato side - I always go for the roasties. Had a couple of pints and a proper feed with my mate, still under thirty quid.

The carvery station had so much choice! The chef was really friendly, made it a nice spot for a Sunday catch-up with friends.

The mixed meat Sunday roast was a proper treat. The Yorkshire puddings were homemade and so fluffy, and the cauliflower cheese was spot on. A really good, hearty plate of food.

Sam was our waiter and honestly, he made the night. Just the right amount of attentive, and actually funny. A good server makes such a difference.
