Stopped by this American diner in Whitby. The burger was huge and really hit the spot. Good, simple food. Staff were friendly and quick.

The lamb shank was cooked just right, fell off the bone. The sauce had a deep, rich flavour that went well with the mash. Portion was huge, couldn&#39;t finish it all. That&#39;s the main thing for me.

Been coming here for years. The Channa brunch is solid, a proper change from the usual eggs and bacon. Their paratha breads are the real star - always fresh and flaky. Decent veggie options too.

I&#39;ve been searching for a good, no-fuss breakfast spot. This is it. The food was hot, not greasy at all, and the cafe itself was so clean. Just a really pleasant, comfortable place to start the day.

The loaded roasties on the Sunday menu were a real highlight. I was so pleased to see they use fresh, seasonal root vegetables and the gravy was rich but not overly heavy. The portion was generous too. A lovely, wholesome choice for a weekend treat.

The staff were so kind with my little ones. They even held my newborn for a moment so I could breathe. That small gesture meant everything. The cafe itself is spotless and the cakes are lovely.

The lamb curry was the best part. Really flavourful but not too spicy, just how I like it. Had it with some rice and it was a solid, filling meal.

Popped in with a couple mates after work. The fish and chips were spot on, and the burger was huge! Got two mains, a pint, and service for under &pound;25 each. Perfect for a casual catch-up without breaking the bank.

First visit, and I really liked the space. It&#39;s clean, feels well-run, and the tables are nicely spaced out. The natural light in the afternoon was a nice touch. Food was fresh, which matched the vibe.

Came for the fish but honestly, the chips stole the show. They&#39;re chunky, perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Just like my gran used to make. That&#39;s the real deal.

Loved stumbling upon this local pub during our stay. The live band was a total surprise - no cover charge, just a great vibe on a Tuesday night. We grabbed a couple pints and stayed for the whole set.

Had a decent breakfast here. The sausages were pretty good, and everything on the plate was cooked fine. A solid spot for a morning meal.

The staff were so lovely with our dog, even brought him a water bowl without us asking. Made the whole lunch feel relaxed. Food was decent, but honestly that bit of kindness for the pup was the highlight.

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.

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

Came with friends and we split the giant Yorkshire pudding special. It was massive! The roast beef inside was so tender, and the gravy was perfect. We were all stuffed afterwards, but in the best way. Great for sharing.

Been coming here for years for their Sunday roast. The Yorkshire puddings are always spot on - proper homemade ones, never a letdown. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back. The sides are decent too, you get a good choice.

Decent pizza, but the risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. Our waitress was lovely though, really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Booked last minute. The food was spot on &ndash; my steak was cooked perfectly, hot, and the portion was huge. Staff were friendly, made you feel welcome. Prices felt fair for what you get.

Paige was lovely, really friendly and professional. The lager was spot on, poured perfectly and ice cold. Just what you want on a warm evening.
