Been coming here for years, and the steak bites are always spot on. Just the right amount of char, never overcooked. That consistency keeps me coming back. Brooke&#39;s always friendly, too.

Been here a few times now. The food is always spot on, really nicely presented. Staff are genuinely lovely, makes it a proper local. A solid choice for a meal.

Cosy little pub right on the harbour. The fire was lit and it felt so warm and welcoming. Had the steak and ale pie, proper home-cooked stuff, and it was huge! Really hit the spot on a chilly day.

The bottomless brunch is a solid deal. Chris kept the mimosas flowing, which was the real highlight for me. He was really on top of it. The food was fine, but honestly, the steady pour made the whole afternoon.

Big group for a birthday. The food platter was the star &ndash; cheeseburgers were juicy, halloumi fries perfectly salty. Reese, our host, kept the energy up and had us laughing all night. Solid spot for a crowd.

As a vegan, I was really impressed with the options here. The mushroom risotto was creamy and flavourful, and they were happy to make a few dishes vegan for us. The staff were lovely and even brought water for our dog. A solid find.

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.

Sat outside, the view of the village was lovely. The cod in the fish and chips was enormous, and the chips were perfectly crispy. My wife&#39;s pulled pork nachos were tasty too. Prices felt reasonable for what we got.

Been a few times now, always find a decent pint. The ales are well-kept, which you don&#39;t always get. It&#39;s just a comfortable, no-fuss local. A solid spot.

The Viz annuals were a fun touch. But the main thing was the food. The pork belly was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and just melted. The sauce was a bit too sweet for me, but the meat itself was spot on. That&#39;s what I came for.

The free arcade games were a total hit with our group! It kept the vibes going while we waited for our drinks. The jukebox added to that classic pub feel, perfect for a casual catch-up.

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.

The old church building is such a cool space for a drink. Really unique spot.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. The portions were huge - my roast was piled high and the sides were generous too. Couldn&#39;t sit in the garden because of the wind, but the view over Richmond looked lovely. Left feeling very full.

Dog-friendly pub, which is a big plus for me. The whole place is spotless, even the loos. My spaniel was very happy with the water bowl they brought out.

Been coming here for years, mostly for the quiz nights. It&#39;s a small place, but that&#39;s what makes it feel cosy. The atmosphere is always spot on - not too loud, just a nice buzz. Keeps me coming back.

A solid Sunday roast. The beef was the star, cooked just right - fork-tender and full of flavour. Paired it with their Beaute Malbec, which worked nicely. The menu has some interesting options. A good spot for a relaxed meal.

The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. The cocktail lesson was a fun activity to do.

The coffee&#39;s good and the pastries look nice. But I was a bit surprised by the price for a simple slice of cake and a flat white. It felt a little steep for what it was, especially downstairs where it&#39;s mostly grab-and-go.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The pizza dough was surprisingly light, and the prawns starter had a nice kick. Just what I needed.

Stopped by on a Saturday, fully booked but they offered me a seat for just a coffee and ginger loaf. The loaf was so fresh, you could really taste the real ginger. A lovely, cosy spot.

Been here for breakfast a few times. The full English is solid, good portion for the price. Gets you sorted for the day. Service is always quick and no-nonsense, which I like.

The bartender remembered my old fashioned from a month ago. That&#39;s the kind of detail you don&#39;t forget.

Sean the doorman was a highlight, very funny. The burger was pretty good, too.

The bottomless brunch is such a good deal for catching up with mates. The cocktails kept coming and were actually really nice. Food was decent and came out super fast, which is perfect when you&#39;re chatting and don&#39;t want a big wait.

Always come here before the Newcastle game. The vibe is spot on, and the staff are lovely. Even on quiet days, it&#39;s nice for a pint and a bite. The menu&#39;s got loads to choose from, which is a bonus.
