Popped in for a late lunch. The sausage and blue cheese baguette was really good, three sausages and loads of that creamy cheese. The place itself has a nice, relaxed feel to it.

Tray meal&#39;s a great deal. We get it every week now. Good portions, decent variety. Nothing fancy but hits the spot.

Been coming here for years, even after they moved. The modern Japanese food is consistently tasty and well-priced.

Came for Sunday lunch. The roast was massive, and the veg actually tasted like it came from a garden, not a freezer. Good, honest cooking.

Loved the backyard seating. It felt so cozy and rustic, just the right relaxed vibe for dinner. A bit chilly later on though.

The lamb curry was the best part. Really flavourful but not too spicy, just how I like it. Had it with some rice and it was a solid, filling meal.

Popped in with a couple mates after work. The fish and chips were spot on, and the burger was huge! Got two mains, a pint, and service for under &pound;25 each. Perfect for a casual catch-up without breaking the bank.

The sticky toffee pudding is so good, it&#39;s become my go-to dessert here. Staff are lovely and it&#39;s easy to hop on a bus to get to.

The full English was spot on! Perfectly cooked, and the portions are huge. It&#39;s a great spot for a big group brunch, we were able to chat for ages without feeling rushed.

Had a decent breakfast here. The sausages were pretty good, and everything on the plate was cooked fine. A solid spot for a morning meal.

Met a friend here for a catch-up over coffee. The lattes were nice and hot, just right for a long chat. The only thing is, the chairs are a bit hard for sitting for too long. It&#39;s fine for an hour or so.

The staff were so lovely with our dog, even brought him a water bowl without us asking. Made the whole lunch feel relaxed. Food was decent, but honestly that bit of kindness for the pup was the highlight.

The power went out halfway through our meal. They brought out candles and didn&#39;t rush us at all. The steak was still cooked perfectly medium-rare, even in the dim light. Honestly, the food didn&#39;t miss a beat.

Service was top notch. Gary our waiter was really friendly and attentive. Made the whole evening better. Food came out quick too.

The crab linguine was packed with big chunks of crab and tasted fresh. Just a bit oily for my liking.

First time trying their pizzas. The crust was perfectly chewy and the toppings were so fresh. We&#39;ll definitely be back before our trip is over.

The main pizzas here are really good, but the desserts are a bit of a letdown. The tiramisu was fine, but for the price, I expected a bit more. It&#39;s a shame because everything else is so solid.

A quiet spot by the river, good for a weekday breakfast meeting. Had the pancakes with bacon and syrup. Solid choice, service was efficient.
