Garlic butter and paprika chips were the highlight. Cocktails are reliable, the smoked peach one is a good call. Decent spot for a quick bite and a drink.

Wanted a quick bite and the vegan options here are solid. Hearty and tasty, even for a non-vegan like me. Got served fast at lunch rush, which is all I needed.

Popped in for the Sunday roast special. The place has a really cosy, lived-in feel - worn leather booths and low lighting. It&#39;s the kind of spot you could easily settle into for a few hours. Food was spot on.

A nice traditional pub with a cosy fireplace. The garden is pleasant, though it got a bit crowded.

Always busy on weekends, but the food keeps me coming back.

Lovely spot by the canal, perfect for a cosy winter evening. I really appreciated the focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients in their specials. The fish was cooked perfectly, tasted so clean. A nice change from heavier pub food.

Popped in for a quick pint and ended up staying for dinner. The fish and chips was massive, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good for the price.

Sam and Bella were lovely, really friendly and made the evening feel relaxed. Good service, they were a bit of a laugh too.

Great selection of local ales. The dark ones from small batches are the best. Music fits the pub vibe perfectly.

Quiz night with Mark is a blast! Perfect for a casual catch-up with friends. They&rsquo;re super dog-friendly at breakfast too, which is a nice touch. Got a bit loud later on, but that&rsquo;s the vibe.

Great spot for a quick bite. The jalfrezi was full of flavour and came out fast. Also tried the keema cheese naan, which was a solid choice. Perfect for when you&#39;re in a rush.

The coffee was a bit on the pricier side, but the setting is lovely. We had a table by the window with a beautiful view, which made for a very relaxed afternoon. It&#39;s a nice, comfortable spot to unwind.

The full English was spot on, especially the black pudding. Tuna melt was decent, but they&#39;d run out of the sourdough bread I wanted. Solid grub when they have it.

A proper old-school pub, feels like stepping back into the 90s. Had the steak and ale pie. The real star was the house red they suggested with it &ndash; a solid, earthy Rioja that cut right through the rich gravy. Made the whole thing. Bit of a wait for a table on a Friday, but that&#39;s the charm.

Great little spot for a quick lunch. Feels like a proper family-run Italian place. Got the carbonara, came out fast and was spot on. Definitely gets packed though, had to wait a bit for a table.

Staff swapped a dish for my dietary restriction, no fuss. The meat thali was a good call, loads of variety on one plate. Just what I needed after a long walk.

Cozy spot, no frills. Owners are lovely, makes it feel personal. Had the braised lamb shank - fell off the bone, rich sauce. Could&rsquo;ve used a touch more seasoning for my taste, but the meat itself was spot on. Solid neighbourhood find.

The outdoor play area was a lifesaver! Our little ones were happily occupied, so we could actually chat and enjoy our food without interruptions. A real game-changer for a family lunch.

Service was pleasant and the pasta was pretty good. The waitress was attentive without being overbearing. A solid meal overall, though the portion felt a bit on the smaller side.

Love how light and airy it feels in here. The split-level floor and wooden ceiling give it a really open, welcoming vibe. Just a nice place to sit and unwind.

The bottomless brunch portions were generous, and the house ros&eacute; was a surprisingly good match for the eggs benedict.

The steak was exactly medium-rare as I asked. The peppercorn sauce was rich and had a nice kick. Veggies were crisp and well-seasoned. A solid, straightforward meal.

Been coming here for years, and the burger deals on certain days are still a solid reason to swing by. Portions are generous, which is nice. The kids&#39; menu is a decent size too, keeps the little one happy. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for that.
