The homemade potato bread at the start was the star for me. So fluffy and warm, with a hint of herbs. I ended up asking for a second basket! The rest was nice, but that bread really set a good mood.

Had a solo dinner here. The table staff were outstanding, really made me feel welcome. Food was lovely, especially the lamb shank. A bit on the pricier side, but a solid meal.

The lobster mac and cheese was fantastic. You could really taste the freshness of the lobster.

Steak and ale pie for lunch. Chips were proper, peas fresh. The pie itself? Solid. Good ale selection as always. Staff were friendly, had a quick chat. Decent pub grub.

A lovely spot just off the square. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made for a really relaxed lunch. The local ingredients were a nice touch.

Decent Indian spot nearby. The jeera rice had a nice aroma, and the naan was fresh from the tandoor. Poppadoms were crisp. Gets packed even on a Tuesday, so be ready for a bit of a wait. Drinks are fairly priced.

Been coming here for years. The burgers are still huge, and you get a proper portion of chips with them. Good value for a solid meal, nothing fancy.

Had the grilled octopus again since the new owners came in. It&rsquo;s just as good as last time&mdash;super fresh and tender, with that perfect char. Really glad they&rsquo;ve kept the quality up.

The lighting&#39;s a bit bright for a romantic dinner, but honestly, it&#39;s perfect for a casual catch-up with friends. We had a great time sharing pizzas and pasta, and the lively buzz made it feel really social.

The hot towels at the end were a nice, thoughtful touch. Food came out quickly and hot, which was perfect for our work group.

Been coming here for years. The salmon on potato, pea, and prawn is my go-to. It&rsquo;s always spot on, never had a bad one. My partner usually gets the falafel salad, which is just as good. Keeps us coming back.

Joe and Lilen were so nice. My burger was cooked just right, and the fries were crispy. Everyone at our table seemed happy with their food.

Cosy spot and the staff were so friendly, really made our catch-up feel special. Portions are generous too!

Tried the set menu. The sardines were butterflied and grilled, really nice. Catalan fish stew was a big bowl, packed with flavour. Portions are generous, left feeling full. Good for the price.

Came with a big group of 17. They handled it really well, all the food came out hot at the same time. Staff were nice about it.

Loved the vibe here! The burger was spot on, juicy and cooked just right. The fries were tasty, but some were a bit under-seasoned while others were fine. Still, a solid spot for a casual bite.

The place is spotless, which I really appreciate. Service was quick, and the prices felt fair for what you get. Just a solid, no-fuss spot for a bite.

The champagne afternoon tea was lovely. I really appreciated the fresh ingredients - the scones were warm, and the fruit on the pastries tasted so vibrant. Having the place mostly to ourselves made for a very peaceful afternoon.

The steak was cooked exactly how I like it, really tender. Richie was nice. Portions are huge, couldn&#39;t finish it all.

Popped in on a whim. The space is just right&mdash;not too loud, comfy chairs. Staff were genuinely friendly, which made a difference. We&#39;ll probably end up here again.

Pork chop was cooked perfectly. Steaks also done right. Ingredients taste fresh, clearly seasonal. Good execution on the basics.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always solid, homely stuff. Portions are big, you won&#39;t leave hungry. Place is a bit tight at the moment with the work going on, but they still manage to serve you right.

The servers were on it. Adam, Alex, Gian Franco&mdash;they knew the menu inside out, got the timing right. Not hovering, just there when you needed something. Made the whole thing smooth.

Been coming here for years, and the lunch deal is still the main reason. A proper full-sized pizza for that price, even when they&#39;re packed. It&#39;s just reliable.
