Decent spot on Regent Street, convenient for a quick solo lunch. Counter seating is efficient, lets you watch the kitchen. Had the set lunch, portion was fine for the price. Service was prompt, got me in and out in under an hour. Would work again for a business meeting nearby.

Decent food, plenty of choice which is good for my friend who&#39;s veggie. The coffee was actually really nice. But honestly, for the price I was expecting a bit more on the plate. Portions felt a little small.

Jordan was so helpful with gluten-free options for my friend. Made our catch-up dinner stress-free!

The curried goat was the highlight. It&#39;s rich and flavourful, not overly sweet like some places do it. The seasoning was spot on. A really nice, comforting dish.

Came for a quiet dinner, the food was spot on. The real highlight for me was the wine list &ndash; they had a great selection of local reds that paired beautifully with the steak. Staff were attentive without being overbearing. A very solid evening out.

They read my note for the birthday order, which was a really nice touch. The food still tasted great even delivered.

Nice spot for a drink. The back garden theatre is a fun touch. My Negroni was well-balanced, not too sweet. Just a bit pricey for the portion, but the vibe is relaxed.

Third year for Christmas lunch, already booked for 2026. The chips and homemade tartare sauce are spot on. A glass of their house red was a perfect match for the festive mood.

The restaurant offers a fantastic selection of dishes, including an impressive Indian curry and lamb shank, making it a great dining option for hotel guests.

As someone who avoids dairy, I was pleasantly surprised by the menu here. Plenty of tasty options that didn&#39;t feel like an afterthought. The staff was really helpful when I had questions too.

Been coming here for years, and the gluten-free options are always solid. Menu&#39;s got plenty to choose from, but I keep coming back for that. Nice to see they haven&#39;t changed that bit.

Love the vibe here! The landlady is so friendly, makes you feel right at home. Spotted Old Moat Cider on tap, which was a nice find. The free jukebox is a fun touch for a chilled evening. Heard they do live music some nights too.

The staff are always friendly and helpful with the menu. They take dietary needs seriously, which is good to see.

Love the vibe here, trendy decor and always spotless. Came for a casual catch-up and ended up staying for hours. The truffle fries were a standout, crispy and just the right amount of salty. A bit on the pricier side, but the atmosphere made it worth it.

The draft beer here is the real deal. Had a pint of their house bitter, it&#39;s got that proper depth of flavour you want. Crisp finish, not too heavy. Just a solid, well-kept pint. The music&#39;s from a few decades back, but honestly, I was just there for the beer.

Been here loads. It&rsquo;s just your regular Nando&rsquo;s, which is fine by me. Food&rsquo;s always fresh and comes out quick. Staff are sound. Nothing fancy, but it&rsquo;s reliable.

Great spot for a big group dinner. Ben really knows his stuff when it comes to the wine list &ndash; his suggestion with the main course was spot on. They handled our dietary needs without any fuss. A solid evening.

The sharing platter starter is the way to go. You get a bit of everything to start. The crispy squid was spot on, not rubbery at all. The chicken satay skewers had a proper peanut sauce. Good for figuring out what you want more of.

Bottomless brunch was a vibe. The Hugo Spritz is my new favourite, lush and they kept them coming. Staff were lovely, really attentive without hovering. Food was decent, no complaints. Just a nice, easy Sunday.

Lunch stop. Jasmine was quick and efficient, got our order right away. Food was solid, drinks reasonably priced. Good for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

The bacon and avocado bagel is my go-to. They&#39;re always fresh, which is a big plus for me. A solid spot when you need a reliable breakfast.

The bottomless brunch was decent. Staff were really on it with the refills, my glass was never empty for long. For the price, that kind of attentive service is a plus.

The staff were so friendly and helpful with dietary restrictions. Made the whole experience easy.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere. Peter behind the bar was a real highlight, so attentive. He remembered our drinks order from last time, which was a nice touch. Made the evening feel that bit more personal.

The Sunday roast is solid. Beef was properly rare, roast potatoes crisp. Cauliflower cheese good too. Gravy was rich and plentiful. Portion size is decent for the price.

Food was incredible. Flavours were spot on, service was attentive without being overbearing. Just a really solid meal, no complaints.

Came here with friends last weekend and the mushroom bourguignon was a total winner for us veggies. We grabbed a table outside in the sun and it was just the right spot for a long catch-up. A bit of a wait for the food, but we were chatting anyway.

Lovely spot for a catch-up with friends. The outdoor seating is gorgeous, perfect for coffee and a little snack. We ended up staying for ages just chatting.

The staff are so lovely. I sat outside for breakfast and it was just so peaceful. The food was delicious, really hit the spot on a quiet morning. A really nice, relaxing start to the day.

Perfect for a quick lunch. The pesto mozzarella toastie was ready in minutes. Tasted fresh, like homemade. Sausage melt was solid too. Got me in and out fast.
