A nice little pub with decent weekend music. They do karaoke and quizzes on weeknights, which is a fun touch. The atmosphere is pretty good. A solid spot for a casual drink.

Popped in for a quick lunch while shopping. The kids&#39; play area is a lifesaver - they loved the slides and climbing frame. Gave us a proper 20 minutes to actually eat our food in peace.

The Cornish pasty was fantastic, flaky crust and a rich filling. Paired it with a local ale, which cut through the richness nicely. The coffee was good, but the pasty was the star. A solid spot for a proper lunch.

Been coming here for years for their bacon butty. It&#39;s a proper one, good bacon, decent bread, and you get a lot for your money. Staff are always friendly. Easy to park and a quick stroll to the front.

Came for the TV show connection, which is a nice touch. Food was decent, nothing special. Service was efficient, got us in and out quickly. Worth a stop if you&#39;re in the area and a fan.

Been here a few times. They do decent mid-week deals, like 40% off mains. Just a tip &ndash; ask them to bring your main out hot, not after you&#39;ve finished your starter. Makes a difference.

This place has so much character. Love the old beams and the fireplace. They sometimes have live music, which really adds to the cosy, relaxed vibe.

Been here a few times now. What keeps me coming back is the guide&#39;s storytelling - the way he explains the history of the place just pulls you in. It never gets old.

The katsu curry was tasty, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. It&#39;s a clean spot, but I left still a little hungry.

Parking was a bit of a hunt on a Friday evening. Had to circle the block twice before finding a spot a few streets over. Not a huge deal, but something to factor in if you&#39;re on a tight schedule.

Arrived early and the restaurant was  very busy, but within 5minutes were where taken and showed to our table. we were asked if the area was okay and also if we were allergic to any ingredients, and informed that our waiter was called Nia. About 5minutes Nia arrived and again asked if were were allergic to any ingredients, then asked if we were ready to order, otherwise she would give us more time. She took our order, and delivered our drinks and my starter. The Prawn Cocktail that I had was exactly as I liked it and after eating it, we went and got our roast meals. Overhaul the food and drinks were perfect, the lady who showed us to our table came and checked to see if everything was fine, which it was. Nia, the lady who took our order and brought my Prawn Cocktail plus drinkswas charming and very helpful as was the other lady with short hair who took us to our table. Please convey our thanks to both of them, we have been many times before and always have never been disappointed there.

The steak was cooked exactly as I asked, which I appreciate. The curry and mac and cheese were both solid. A good, straightforward meal.

The gyros are a proper hangover cure, and the portions are huge. What really stood out was the vibe &ndash; it&rsquo;s a simple, no-frills spot, but the space feels bright and relaxed. The waitress was lovely, too.

Lovely little spot tucked away from the crowds. Perfect for a quiet catch-up with friends over their fresh baguettes.

The tasting menu was a real journey. Each plate was like a tiny piece of art, especially the bass&mdash;it just melted. A lovely, thoughtful evening.

Some of the best Thai food in Europe! Menu had a great variety. Food was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely eat here again. Highly recommend!

Great little spot for a quick lunch. Feels like a proper family-run Italian place. Got the carbonara, came out fast and was spot on. Definitely gets packed though, had to wait a bit for a table.

The outdoor play area was a lifesaver! Our little ones were happily occupied, so we could actually chat and enjoy our food without interruptions. A real game-changer for a family lunch.

The bottomless brunch portions were generous, and the house ros&eacute; was a surprisingly good match for the eggs benedict.

The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and my kids and I had a lovely time. The air con however was a little cold but they turned it down when they realised.The seats need some TLC and it&#39;s not very pram friendly but the staff went over and above to make sure that we were as comfortable as possible.

A decent spot to watch the Six Nations. The Welsh atmosphere is pretty good, though it does get quite loud.
