Ate here last week. The background music was really nice, gentle and not too loud. It made for such a calm meal, you could actually have a conversation. The whole place felt clean and relaxing, which I appreciated.

Staff were so friendly, made us feel really welcome. The menu had loads of clearly marked veggie options which was a nice surprise. Prices felt fair for what you get.

The breakfast hash was spot on. Grabbed a slice of their chocolate orange cake to go, and it paired perfectly with my morning coffee later. A solid start to the day.

Popped in early for a bite. The fish and chips were spot on - crispy batter, proper chips. Love the old pub vibe in here, you can feel the history. No booking needed which was handy.

Got here early without a booking. The tapas were spot on, especially the patatas bravas. Finished with a churros dessert that hit the sweet spot. Staff were really nice about it all.

Been here loads. Greek salad special is always fresh. Spicy meatballs are properly tender. One time there was a tiny hiccup, sorted straight away.

George was the standout. Really helpful, knew the menu inside out. Service was quick without feeling rushed. Made a difference to the evening.

Zoe and Mariia were brilliant. Really professional, remembered our drinks order, and just made the whole evening run smoothly. A nice touch.

Maciej and Daniel were really helpful. The jugs here were noticeably fresher than at other places we tried. You could tell the ingredients were good quality.

The food tasted so fresh, like it was just prepared. Really appreciated that on a busy night.

The saffron ice cream was the perfect end to a rich dinner. Such a unique, subtle flavour. The fresh tea alongside it was lovely, though I wish the ice cream portion was a touch bigger.

Always packed, this Wetherspoons. The beer selection is the main draw for me, really solid. Food&#39;s fine for the price, nothing fancy but does the job. Gets a bit loud when it&#39;s heaving.

Been coming here for a while now. It&#39;s got that proper local feel, you always see a few familiar faces at the bar. The steak and ale pie is my usual, never disappoints. Just a solid, reliable spot.

Eden was a lovely host, very warm and attentive. It made for a pleasant evening. The food was decent, though the main course arrived a little later than expected. We&#39;d happily return.

Food was piping hot when it arrived. Owner even did deliveries himself when they were short-staffed.

The full English is lovely and well-priced. The staff are consistently friendly, and they really know their stuff when it comes to suggesting a good ale to go with it.

Been coming here for years for breakfast. Their full English is always spot on - the bacon&#39;s crispy, the eggs are runny, and the black pudding is just right. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

The lamb was tasty but a bit gristly. Mentioned it and the response was a bit dismissive. Still a decent spot for a quick bite.

Stopped in on a quiet Monday. The home-cooked food was really good, portions were huge. Friendly landlord too. Just what you need on a slow night.

Authentic Turkish food, hard to find elsewhere. The female chef clearly knows her craft. Everything tasted fresh, and the presentation was spot-on. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean. A solid choice for a business lunch in the area.

Staff were really friendly, especially Maddie. Food came out quick and was spot on. Good for a quick bite.
