The team here is always so lovely and on the ball, even when it&#39;s packed. My order came out super quick and the food was piping hot - just how it should be. Really makes a difference.

The rice in their bowls is a real standout. It&#39;s lightly seasoned and has this perfect texture you don&#39;t often find. Really made the meal for me.

A cozy little spot in Derby. Came for lunch, the salad was really fresh. You could tell the greens were just prepped that morning. The grilled chicken on top was nicely seasoned, not dry at all. A good, simple option if you&#39;re watching what you eat.

Monday to Thursday set menu is just &pound;12. The food is tasty, cooked well. Service is lovely and friendly.

The staff here really make the place. They&#39;re quick, friendly, and actually seem to like what they do. Makes a big difference to the whole vibe.

Been coming here for years, and that sausage and bacon sandwich is the reason. It&#39;s always just right &ndash; thick, proper doorstop bread, good quality bacon. Never lets me down. Grab a takeaway croissant sometimes too.

Been coming here for years. Their cappuccino is just consistently good. Strong, creamy foam, never bitter. I always get one with a slice of whatever cake is on the counter. It&#39;s my little weekend ritual.

The food&#39;s cooked fresh to order, which is a nice change from a regular buffet. The place itself has a really relaxed, modern feel.

The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. It was a comfortable spot to have a meal without any fuss. The service was attentive without being overbearing, which I always appreciate.

Love that they haven&#39;t become another generic chain. The space just has a lovely, quiet charm to it. Staff are always so nice, makes it a proper little escape.

Messaged ahead about gluten-free options and got a really quick, helpful reply. The gluten-free cod and battered sausage were the highlight &ndash; the fish was so moist and the batter was light and crisp. Portions are huge, almost too much for me!

Found this spot by the canal. Staff were really friendly, prices fair. Got a quick sandwich and coffee. Perfect for a bite before a walk. 👍

Henk and Clare are lovely hosts. The scones are a decent size and come with plenty of jam and clotted cream. For the price, you get a proper afternoon tea feel without it costing a fortune. Good spot for a cuppa.

Staff were really nice. We had our baby with us and they were super helpful, even found a quieter spot for us. Made the whole thing way less stressful.

The chocolate orange brownie was so fresh and rich, I had to get another one to take home. They had a few different flavours, but that one was my favourite.

Coffee was solid, and it&#39;s a good &pound;1-&pound;1.50 less than the places nearby. Just a simple, decent cup without the fancy price tag.

The veggie breakfast was a nice surprise. I really focus on fresh ingredients, and the sausages were particularly good &ndash; packed with flavour and didn&#39;t feel heavy at all. The plate was nicely presented too. A solid choice for a healthier start.

Comfy seats, decent prices. Service was fine. Just a nice, chilled spot to hang out for a bit. Nothing fancy, but does the job.

The rooms are clean and comfy, which was a relief after a long drive. Staff were really helpful too.

Been here a few times now. Food&#39;s always decent, nothing fancy but hits the spot. Service is quick, which I appreciate. They often have some good deals on, so keeps it affordable. Solid choice for a casual bite.

The Sunday carvery is a solid choice. The portions are generous and the vegetables were fresh. I really appreciated how the staff kept the hot plates topped up without being asked, made the whole thing very relaxed. Good value.

Came across this place by chance. The sourdough toast was spot on, crispy outside, soft inside. The background music was just right, not too loud. Felt really relaxed just sitting there for a bit.

Mixed grill was the star. The gammon in particular was spot on, really good quality and cooked just right. A very satisfying plate.

The cod and chips is a proper portion for two. We couldn&#39;t finish it. The house lager cut through the richness nicely, a solid pairing. Good value.

The chips were really fresh, not greasy at all. For the price, I was expecting something a bit more basic, but the quality was actually decent. Good portion too.

Decent dessert spot near the mall. The menu&#39;s huge, so maybe check it online first. Parking&#39;s easy.

The grilled pork with sticky rice was pretty good, and the somtum tasted authentic. Decent value for the city centre. The place was a bit loud, but overall a fine spot for a quick meal.

The takeaway burger still had that just-grilled taste. Juicy patty, crisp lettuce, the works. Impressive for a boxed meal.

The gluten-free pasta was cooked separately, which I appreciated. It had a nice al dente texture, and the sauce was rich without being heavy. A solid option for anyone with dietary needs.
