Good spot with sea views. Breakfast was decent and reasonably priced. The roof terrace is a bonus on a sunny day.

Sunday karaoke was a blast! The food&#39;s decent, but service can be a bit slow when they&#39;re short-staffed.

Ordered through Uber Eats and they were really nice about swapping my fried eggs for scrambled. The extra black pudding was the best bit. The whole thing just felt like a proper, comforting breakfast.

The pizza had a good crust, crispy but not tough. The tomato sauce was a bit sweet, which worked well with the salty pepperoni. Could have used a touch more basil, but the flavour was solid.

The building&#39;s got real character, those low doorways are a fun touch. But honestly, for the price point, the portions felt a bit on the smaller side. You&#39;re paying more for the atmosphere than a really filling meal.

Caught a film screening here with their cheese board and a glass of red. The concept works well for a relaxed evening out. The setting is pleasant, though the board itself was a bit basic for the price. Good for something different.

Been coming here for years, and the beer garden is always a winner. Plenty of space, and they&#39;ve got those shaded tables sorted for when the sun&#39;s out. It&#39;s a proper spot to settle in. The cider on tap is a bit limited, but that&#39;s my only gripe.

Nice little spot for a quick bite. Coffee&#39;s solid, local beans. Staff are friendly but service can be a bit slow when they&#39;re busy. Good for a fast lunch break.

A really nice spot for a relaxed dinner. The staff were so friendly and thoughtful, even bringing out a little cake for us. It made the evening feel very easy and pleasant.

Bright and spacious pub. Good spot for people-watching with that view of the pedestrian area. Drinks are reasonably priced. Just a relaxed vibe.

Came for the steak. Cooked exactly as asked, nice char on the outside, perfectly pink inside. The peppercorn sauce was the standout though, really rich and flavourful. That sauce made the dish. Could have done with a few more chips on the side, to be honest.

The haddock was so fresh and flaky, really hit the spot. The batter was light, not greasy at all. Portions are huge, my friend and I shared one and were full. Staff were quick and nice. A solid choice for a proper fish and chips.

Been back a few times now. The chicken tikka masala is always spot on, and the garlic naan is fresh. Just a solid, reliable spot for a curry.

Menu&#39;s got a good range, even vegan choices. Noticed the food&#39;s stepped up this summer &ndash; my veggie burger was actually juicy, not dry like before.

A proper local pub, quiet and friendly. No kitchen, but you can bring in your own food. Their ale selection is decent - had a pint of their house bitter that went nicely with my fish and chips. Just the spot for a relaxed evening.

The staff brought out a little cake for my birthday, which was a nice touch. Service was pretty attentive.

The staff are really friendly, especially the barman who was so attentive. That made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. The food was lovely too, a really nice meal.

Megan was so lovely and attentive. That mushroom linguine with grilled chicken was the star for me - the sauce was creamy but not heavy at all. My husband enjoyed his small plates too. The whole place just has a nice, relaxed vibe.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always spot on, proper British-Asian classics done right. Gets packed out most nights, mind. Book a table or you&#39;ll be waiting.

The tandoori chicken had a really nice smoky flavour. The naan was soft and warm, straight from the oven. I&#39;d go back just for that.

The chicken katsu burger was a real find. Just the right amount of heat in the sauce, really hit the spot. Great spot to catch a game too.

The team here is so lovely. They really took care of us for our little get-together. Everything was handled so calmly, which made the whole afternoon feel relaxed and easy.

Pricey but worth it. The steak was cooked just right, and the view from the window seat was fantastic. Good for a special occasion.

Came for the view, stayed for the food. The seafood pasta was generous, packed with prawns and mussels. For the price, the portion size is really decent. You get what you pay for here.

Russell was super helpful with recommendations. Got my food quick and it was exactly what I wanted. 👍

Popped in for a quick solo lunch. Food came fast, which was key for me. The steak sandwich was hot, well-seasoned, and matched the menu description. Good portion for the price.
