The mezze selection here is pretty good, not your usual cafe stuff. Two small plates each was just right for a light lunch. The hummus was decent, though the pita could have been a bit warmer.

Stopped in after a long drive. The food was solid, and the relaxed vibe was just right. They had a nice local red by the glass that paired well with the steak. A good spot to unwind.

The curries were really generous. We had leftovers from just two dishes, which was a nice surprise. They packed it up for us, so I had lunch sorted for the next day. The ingredients tasted fresh, which I always appreciate.

Nice to see a solid selection of vegan options on the menu. We asked for a custom pizza, no cheese, extra veggies, and they sorted it out without any fuss. Tasted fresh and the crust had a good chew to it.

Vibrant spot, but it does get packed. We were tucked in a corner table, which was fine, but the energy from the main room was a bit much for a quiet chat. The buzz is fun if you&#39;re up for it.

Love that they have vegan choices! The jackfruit tacos were a nice surprise, really flavourful. My pup was welcome too, which made for a relaxed lunch. Cosy little place.

Their weekend tapas are a treat. The patatas bravas and white bean stew were generous and full of flavour. The house red was a robust Rioja that stood up nicely to the stew&#39;s richness. A solid pairing.

Been coming here for years. The smoked salmon pate with the beetroot chutney is a must-have for me. Always spot on. The fish and chips are generous, crispy batter, never greasy. Just a solid, reliable meal.

Been coming here for years, their coffee is always spot on. I usually grab a spiced latte and sometimes the strawberry banana peanut butter milkshake if I&#39;m feeling it. Cakes are good too. It&#39;s just a reliable local spot.

The rigatoni con spezzatino was so flavourful. I really appreciated the freshness of the ingredients, you could taste it in the sauce. The atmosphere was relaxed, which was nice. A good spot for a proper, slow meal.

The gluten-free burger buns were so soft, a win for our group!

I had the best pizza at Franco Manca during my trip! The crust was perfectly balanced, and the toppings, especially the Yorkshire sausage, were incredible. I can&#39;t wait to return for more!

Been coming here for years, and the view never gets old. Had the fish and chips again last night, decent portion. Staff are always on it, noticed my glass was empty and sorted it straight away. A solid local spot.

The crab sandwiches were lovely, really fresh and generous with the filling. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made for a very relaxed lunch. Just a shame the seats are a bit hard for a longer sit-down.

Cozy spot, dim lighting is nice. Went on a Friday, it was packed - had to wait a bit. The mushroom risotto was spot on, creamy and flavourful. Good for a relaxed dinner.

Sunday roast was spot on. Beef cooked just right, and the Yorkshires were huge. Eton Mess for dessert - a nice touch. Quick service, got me in and out in under an hour. Perfect for a Sunday lunch.

The Sunday carvery was a lovely surprise before our walk. The roast was spot on, and that sticky toffee pudding... just the right amount of warmth and sweetness. A cosy, quiet corner made it feel like a proper little treat.
