Been going here for years, it&#39;s our local Thai spot. The chicken pad thai is solid, not too sweet like some places. Portions are decent for the price. Service is quick, you&#39;re in and out.

The outdoor seating is great if you&#39;re with a dog. Had the fish and chips there. The batter was crisp, not greasy at all. The chips were proper thick-cut. That&#39;s really what you want from it.

My usual spot for a quick Chinese bite. The crispy soft shell crab is always fresh and hits the spot. Perfect for a speedy lunch.

This is my go-to for the duck dumplings. They&#39;re generous, always packed with filling. For the price, you get a proper plateful. The chilli chicken portion is decent too. It&#39;s a solid, filling meal without breaking the bank.

Had a proper feast here with friends, loads of dishes. The bill was surprisingly reasonable for the amount we ordered. Solid spot for authentic Chinese that won&#39;t break the bank.

The portions here are generous, especially for the price. It&#39;s clearly a local favourite. I found the chairs a bit too firm for a long, relaxed meal, but the value is undeniable.

The cakes are baked fresh in the open kitchen. The smell draws you in, and the texture is warm and fluffy. A solid choice for a quick, satisfying treat.

The staff were really friendly, which made for a pleasant visit. I did have a small issue with the bill, but a manager came over straight away and sorted it out. It was handled quickly and without any fuss, so I could just relax and enjoy my meal.

Great spot for a quick bite after work. Food came out super fast, which was perfect. The music was good, kept the vibe lively. AC was a nice touch on a hot day.

Been coming here for years, and the pizza and chips combo never lets me down. It&#39;s just a solid, reliable choice. The crust is always crisp, chips are hot and salty. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The portions are huge, honestly. We ended up with two doggy bags to take home. Food was solid, no complaints there. Just wish they had nicer containers for the leftovers, the flimsy ones leaked a bit.

The portions are huge for the price, especially my husband&#39;s breakfast. It was very filling and felt like good value.

Cash only, so had to use their ATM (small fee). Not ideal, but the vibe was perfect for our group catch-up. We ended up staying for ages just chatting over drinks. The staff didn&#39;t rush us at all, which was nice.

The prawns were surprisingly fresh and crunchy for a buffet, especially here by the sea. A decent mix of Indian and Chinese dishes overall. The chicken tikka was fine, though the naan could have been warmer.

Great spot by the harbour. Popped in for a coffee and just sat there watching the boats for ages. Views are lovely.

My go-to for a quick bite. The chicken nuggets are massive, real breast meat in a light, crispy batter. Spicy fries are a solid side. Pairs nicely with a cold lager, honestly. Very affordable.

The Sunday roast here is solid. Beef was tender, Yorkshire pudding spot on. Service was efficient, got us in and out in good time for a train. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in this area.

Been coming here for years. The food&#39;s always solid, and you can&#39;t beat the value. Love grabbing a table outside with a coffee, just watching the street. It&#39;s my go-to spot for a simple, reliable bite.

Coffee&#39;s great, and they&#39;re really nice to dogs with free treats and water.

The owner was so lovely, took a moment to chat about their coffee sourcing. You can really tell they care about the quality of the beans. It&#39;s a nice touch that makes you appreciate the cup more.

The triple chocolate brownie is the one to get here. Good spot in the mall for a quick bite.

Lovely spot, and they welcome dogs which is a plus. Martha was really helpful with her suggestions. The pastries were good, but I wish they had a more interesting coffee selection to go with them.

The manager and staff here are genuinely warm and attentive. It&#39;s a nice change from the usual chain cafe feel.

GFC burger is solid, well-seasoned chicken and good portion. Loaded fries are decent, toppings change weekly.
