The gammon was a generous portion, cooked just right. My mac and cheese had this lovely, crispy top layer that made it. A solid, comforting meal in a really warm space.

The chips are huge, but I really appreciate how fresh the ingredients feel. You can taste the quality in the simple dishes. The staff were lovely, even on a packed evening.

The new spot has indoor seating now, which is a plus on a breezy day like today. My fish and chips were just as good as I remember from the old place&mdash;crispy batter and proper chips. A solid choice for a classic meal here.

Been coming here for years with the dog. It&#39;s that kind of place where you can just pop in after a walk on the green, and the team always remembers to bring a bowl of water for him. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The staff were really friendly and helpful when we walked in with a group. The food was lovely too.

The All-Day Breakfast is a steal. The eggs were just runny enough, and the bacon had that perfect crisp. Quick service too, they kept my coffee topped up without me asking. A solid spot for a lazy morning.

The red snapper with chilli and mango was excellent. Generous portion, and their house white wine was a perfect match for the dish.

They always handle our gluten-free requests perfectly.

Nice family spot. The staff were friendly with the kids, and the food was pretty good.

Stumbled upon it driving by. The food was solid, good quality for the price. But what really stuck with me was the space itself &ndash; the high ceilings and those big windows let in so much light, felt really open and relaxed.

The Korean chicken wings were so good! Perfectly crispy with a sticky, spicy glaze. Definitely ordering them again.

A decent traditional pub. The steak and ale pie was pretty good, and the sticky toffee pudding was lovely. The menu has some nice options. It was a bit noisy inside, but fine for a casual meal.

A decent spot for lunch. The salads were pretty fresh and the prices seemed fine. It&#39;s just a short walk to the beach, which is nice. The menu had a good variety, though the place got a bit busy.

Sunday lunch here, the lamb and beef were spot on. Tender, good flavour, proper gravy. Portions are decent. It&#39;s a solid choice for a weekend roast.

Great service for our big group, they kept the meat coming without us even asking. The Picanha was spot on.

This Toby Carvery offers a lovely breakfast with beautifully cooked food and great value, making it a regular spot for me.

Popped in for a late dinner. The sea bass was spot on - skin nice and crispy, fish itself was tender. Decent sized portion too. Staff were friendly, didn&#39;t have to wait around for anything.

Carbonara was solid, probably the best I&#39;ve had locally. Chef came out for a quick chat, which was a nice touch. Service was efficient. Good spot for a reliable business lunch.

The cocktails here are a real standout. Had the &quot;Cardiff Fog&quot; on the heated terrace last night - really clever mix of flavours, perfectly balanced. You can tell they put thought into the drinks.

The chicken tikka was spot on, really tender. Paired it with a crisp lager, which cut through the richness of the butter chicken nicely. Service was friendly, though the pacing between courses felt a bit rushed.

Had a solo dinner at the bar. The staff were genuinely lovely, really attentive without being overbearing. The service made it easy to relax with a glass of wine. Found the wine list a bit limited for my taste, but they knew their stuff. Good spot.

Been here a few times since it opened. The Crown Cream cocktail is a solid choice, always well-made. Desserts are decent, especially if you&#39;ve got a sweet tooth. The kids&#39; ice cream pot is a nice idea, keeps them happy. It&#39;s a reliable spot for a casual meal.

Lovely spot to bring the dog. The daily changing menu is a nice touch, but the portions felt a bit small for the price.

Been coming here for years, and that open fire is the main reason. It&rsquo;s always roaring, perfect for a pint on a cold evening. Just feels like the proper, cozy pub experience you don&rsquo;t get everywhere anymore.
