The North Sea oysters were fresh and nicely presented. The tiger prawn starter was a pretty good mix of flavours.

Been coming here for years, and the team always remembers my daughter. They still make her those little &#39;mini coffees&#39; with a smile. It&#39;s that kind of consistent, friendly service that keeps us coming back. A real neighbourhood spot.

Tofu pad thai for a quick lunch. Noodles weren&#39;t dry, sauce was good. Plenty of veggies, tofu was fried nicely. Got it in under 10 minutes, which is what I needed. Solid choice when you&#39;re in a rush.

Friendly staff, and they actually have a gluten-free menu which is a plus. The wait for our food was around 20 minutes, but the portions were huge. No trouble getting a table.

Popped in solo and had the three-course meal. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, especially in the starter.

Booked ahead and glad we did. The lady who served us was so friendly, took time to explain all the spices they use. Really appreciated that chat. The prawn dish we tried was spot on.

The vegan pizza and garlic bread were really good for a regular pub. Comfy booths made it a nice, easy meal.

Lamb belly on sourdough was solid. Service from Maria was efficient and friendly. Convenient spot for a quick lunch.

Been here a few times. The wine list is decent, not overpriced. Goes nicely with their grilled meats, which are pretty solid. Good for a casual dinner.

Lovely food, and the portions are generous. The ingredients tasted really fresh, which is always a plus.

Came for the performance night. The set menu was decent, but honestly the portions felt a bit small for the price. Good entertainment though, really got everyone involved.

Stumbled upon this spot. The a&ccedil;ai bowl was spot on, just the right balance of tart and sweet. The whole place has this warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to linger.

Had breakfast and lunch here while staying nearby. The breakfast omelette was spot on, and the lunch burger was juicy with a nice char. Staff were friendly and helpful. Solid spot for a meal.

First time here and the vegan pizza was a proper surprise. Loaded with fresh veg and a really good base. Friendly staff too.

Came for a coffee, ended up booking dinner for the next day. The roast lamb was incredible &ndash; so tender it fell apart. The staff were lovely, had a good laugh with the table next to us too. Really nice vibe.

Found this spot while on holiday. Dog-friendly, which was nice. Service was solid. Food was good enough that we came back a second time. Even grabbed a couple of their salad bowls to go.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The fish was so fresh, you could tell it was just caught. The salad greens were crisp and vibrant. A very satisfying, healthy meal that didn&#39;t feel heavy at all. Perfect for a midday stop.

Giulia was so lovely, really made us feel at home. She checked on us just the right amount, not too much. That kind of warm service is a rare find.

The ginger and chocolate orange cookies are thick, just how I like them. Not too sweet either, which is a nice change. Grabbed a couple with my coffee this morning.

They were really thoughtful with my coeliac and pescatarian requests. The tasting menu felt properly adapted, not just a few things swapped out. Made a big difference to the evening.

Latte was on point. Had the carrot cake too, decent slice. Good spot when you just need that coffee and cake fix.

Really loved the vibe here, perfect for a catch-up with friends. The staff were so friendly and made us feel right at home. The starter portions are huge, we almost didn&#39;t need mains! 😊

The sultana scone was the star for me, really well-made. The rest of the tea service was a bit basic, but that&#39;s fine if you&#39;re just after the scone.

Loved the vibe here, really cosy and friendly. You can just tell the chefs care about what they&#39;re making. Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavour, especially the grilled aubergine starter. A lovely spot.

Their French toast is the one. Thick cut brioche, soaked through but still holds its shape. The custard isn&#39;t too sweet, just rich. Gets that perfect crisp on the griddle. My benchmark now.

We were a big group for New Year&#39;s Eve. The staff were brilliant - really efficient and kept their cool despite the chaos. Food was spot on.

The smashed avocado with feta was a generous portion and nicely presented. The focaccia sandwich fillings looked interesting too.

The burger was juicy, and the homemade ketchup really stood out. Fries were spot on, crispy just how I like them. You can tell they use good ingredients. A solid spot for a casual bite.

The seafood dishes were pretty good, with some interesting spice combinations you don&#39;t often see. The place is spotless, and the staff were very attentive. A solid meal.
