Clyde the dog is a lovely touch, makes the place feel really welcoming. But honestly, the portion sizes for the price? A bit on the small side. My fish and chips was tasty, just left me wanting a bit more.

Busy spot, good energy. We were seated quickly. The portion sizes are generous for the price, I couldn&#39;t finish my main. Solid value for a casual meal out.

The rooms are lovely, and the private access to the event hall was a real plus. The wine list had some nice local options that paired well with the evening.

Popped in for Sunday lunch. The roast beef was perfectly pink and the Yorkshire puddings were huge. Felt like a proper home-cooked meal.

Decent spot for a quick business lunch. The mixed grill is a solid choice, generous portion and well-cooked. Burgers are reliable too. Good value for the price point. Service was efficient, got me in and out within the hour.

I&#39;m not the biggest fan of Spoons, but it&#39;s a solid choice. The spice bag was genuinely good, and the table service was impressively quick. Prices are always a plus. It&#39;s just a comfortable, no-fuss spot when you need it.

As a non-student, I was really pleased with my lunch here. The food was cooked well and looked lovely on the plate. The best part was the price&mdash;it felt like a proper meal without the usual cost. A very comfortable spot for a quiet, easy lunch.

Was told to skip this spot while on the narrow boat, but gave it a shot. Food was hot and decent value.

The vegetable biryani and naan are always spot on. Really appreciate the comfortable, well-spaced seating too.

Such a nice spot for dog owners. They even have a little menu for your pup, which is a thoughtful touch.

The Sunday roast was spot on. The roast veg were cooked just right, and the cauliflower cheese side was so good I almost ordered another. A really solid meal.

Lovely spot for a coffee break right across from the castle. I tried their flat white and a slice of the pistachio cake - the cake was really good, moist and not too sweet. A nice find.

A lovely little deli. The breakfast was tasty and came out quickly. What stood out for me was the interesting selection of drinks to go with the food &ndash; a nice touch you don&#39;t always find. Friendly spot.

Jo was our server, and she was just lovely. Really smiley and attentive without being overbearing. The food was spot on, as usual. It&rsquo;s the kind of service that makes a simple lunch feel like a proper treat.

Been coming here for years, and what keeps me coming back is the consistency. Even on a quiet Monday, the food is just as good as on a busy Saturday. It&rsquo;s that reliability I appreciate.

Solid spot for a post-work pint. The Abbot Ale was spot on and reasonably priced. Good range of real ales on tap too. Service was efficient, got my order sorted quickly.

First time here for breakfast. The small breakfast is only &pound;6.95 and the portion is huge, honestly. I couldn&#39;t finish it all. A solid find for the price.

Came with a big group for a birthday. The service was really on point, especially for how many of us there were. Our food came out super quick, which was a nice surprise. Made it easy to just hang out and chat.

Been coming here for years, and the chicken supreme is always spot on. That creamy sauce is the reason I keep coming back.

The new owners have really brightened things up. It&#39;s spotless, and there&#39;s this warm, inviting feeling the moment you walk in. A proper refresh.

Been here a few times now. Always a solid meal, and the staff are genuinely nice. It&#39;s a small spot, feels quite cosy. A bit pricey for what you get, but I keep coming back.

Service was really smooth even with our big group. They even brought out a little birthday dessert, which was a nice touch. Everyone felt looked after.

Decent portions. Got the beef stew and lamb skewers. Meat was actually generous, not just filler. Solid for takeaway too.

Free parking right out front was a win. The big windows looking over the garden are a nice touch. Had the grilled sea bass &ndash; skin was perfectly crisp, fish itself was moist and flaky. Really enjoyed that. Could have used a touch more seasoning in the herb butter, but a solid dish.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The pasta was spot on, really fresh and flavourful. Service was quick, no fuss. A solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

Lovely spot for a quiet afternoon. The pub feels warm and cosy, and there&#39;s plenty of room to settle in without feeling cramped. Staff were very friendly, which made it a really relaxing visit.

Perfect for a quick lunch. Their pasta is just like homemade. Service is fast and friendly. Only thing is it&#39;s a bit dark inside.

Been coming here for years. Booked for a big group on a packed Saturday night. They handled it all without a fuss, service was still spot-on even when the place was heaving. Food&#39;s always reliable.

Sunday roast was spot on, the gravy had this rich depth to it. Just a really solid, comforting meal for a lazy afternoon. Staff were lovely and attentive.
