The fish and chips here are solid. The batter is crisp, not greasy, and the chips are proper thick-cut. The mushy peas on the side are a nice touch. It&#39;s a good, straightforward plate of pub grub.

The fish and chips were spot on! Honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had. The vibe was just right for catching up with friends, not too loud so we could actually hear each other. The chips were perfectly crispy. A solid choice for a casual night out.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The green salad was the highlight for me &ndash; the lettuce and cherry tomatoes tasted so fresh and crisp. Just what I needed. The staff were very friendly, as always. A reliable spot for a simple, healthy bite.

They had dog treats ready for our pup, which was a nice touch. Makes it easy to stop by with the furry one.

The chocolate orange cake was light and not too sweet, went well with my coffee. But at &pound;6.50 for a slice, I did pause for a second. It&#39;s a nice treat, just a bit pricey for the portion.

Super cosy spot, love the vibe. The lemon meringue cake was a proper Yorkshire portion, really hit the spot. Coffee walnut was nice too. Just a really comfortable place to sit for a bit.

Love this little cafe, it&#39;s tucked away from the main roads. Felt like a proper local spot, so peaceful. Just what we needed for a proper catch-up with the girls, no shouting over the noise! The quiet vibe was perfect.

Love the beer garden here, it&#39;s such a nice spot. Ordered one of their hand-made pizzas, and it was really good. They&#39;ve got vegan choices as well, which is a plus. My only thing is, for the portion size, the price felt a bit on the higher side.

Found this place by accident. Had the vegan burger, really solid. Menu&#39;s got loads of options for different diets. Good value too.

Been coming here for years, even after they moved. The modern Japanese food is consistently tasty and well-priced.

Loved the backyard seating. It felt so cozy and rustic, just the right relaxed vibe for dinner. A bit chilly later on though.

The host here is so lovely! She chatted with us about Thailand while we waited for our pad thai. It felt like having a friend show you around. Made the whole meal way more fun than just grabbing food.

Nice little garden out back. Perfect for a quick bite with my dog. They&#39;ve got heaters and a covered bit too, so you can sit out even if it&#39;s a bit drizzly. Just what I needed on my lunch break.

Been coming here for years. They always remember the little things, like a birthday dessert. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

My go-to for a quick lunch. The Diablo Smash Burger hits the spot every time. Good portion, decent price. Service is always fast, which is key for me. Gets the job done.

Quick lunch spot, always reliable. New menu has some good additions. Had the three-course set, decent portions. Wine was nice. Service was quick, which I appreciate on a workday.

Stayed a few nights for work. The room was quiet even facing the road. The breakfast was really good, but the portion for the evening meal felt a bit small for the price. Still, the staff were lovely.

The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. They suggested a lovely wine to go with my pasta, and it was just right. Really made the evening feel effortless.

Been coming here for years. The Basque cheesecake is the real deal &ndash; actually tastes like something, not just sugar. Had it with a sherry flight last night, worked a treat.

Been coming here for years. Their Sunday roast beef is always spot on, and they know how to do a proper gluten-free plate. Gravy&#39;s top notch. It&#39;s a reliable spot for a decent lunch.

The food was surprisingly good for the price point. My main was cooked perfectly. The chairs were a bit hard for a long sit, but it&#39;s a minor thing. I&#39;d come back just for the quality you get.

The mussels and calamari were spot on, really authentic. Pizzas were a solid choice too.
