Full English is spot on, cooked just right. Good portions, not greasy at all. I always get the black pudding extra crispy and they nail it.

The afternoon tea presentation was spot on. Sandwiches fresh, cakes properly moist. Good tea selection too. The quirky decor is there, but honestly, the food itself is what stood out for me.

Really nice local spot near the station. The service was lovely, staff were so attentive. Food was good, my lamb curry was spot on. A bit cosy inside, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Portions are huge, you&#39;ll definitely leave full. Service was quick, no waiting around. Good for a casual bite.

The crab tacos were so fresh, and the oysters were perfectly chilled. Really appreciate the quality of the seafood here.

First time trying their chocolate nachos. Belgian chocolate melted over the salty chips, with strawberries and marshmallows. Sounds weird but it totally works! Shared it with a friend and we still couldn&#39;t finish it.

Donna and her team were so welcoming. The fish was incredibly fresh, and that sea view table was a lovely touch.

Nice spot by the water. Walked in, they took my number and called when a table was ready. The grilled fish was good, really liked the homemade tartar sauce with it. Simple lunch, no fuss.

The food was so fresh and tasty, especially the grilled salmon. It was a quiet spot, perfect for catching up with a friend without shouting over loud music. Found street parking just outside, which was a huge plus.

Nice dessert selection, including vegan options. You can customise your own sundaes and waffles.

Grabbed takeaway here last night. The place is spotless and feels really tidy, which I appreciate when I&#39;m just popping in for a quick bite. Makes the whole thing a bit more pleasant.

Been coming here for years. The heated outdoor bit is a real plus when it&#39;s chilly. Inside still feels like a proper local pub, not trying too hard.

Food came out quick. Tasty, the lamb shank was tender and the sauce had a nice depth. Could&#39;ve used a bit more seasoning on the veg, but the main event was solid.

Breakfast has some creative options, not just the usual fry-up. Nespresso in the room is a handy perk for a quick start.

Good location on the High Street, close to everything. The included breakfast is a real plus - fresh croissants and decent coffee. The building itself is quite traditional, not modern. Suited my needs for a short business stay.

The prawn mayo sandwich is the only thing I order. Prawns are fresh and plump, generous portion. The mayo is creamy but not heavy. It&#39;s a very satisfying lunch, though the bread could be a bit softer.

Staff were really friendly and helpful, plus they welcome dogs. Good spot for a drink after a walk.

Staff are always friendly. They sorted out a small mix-up with our order quickly and without any fuss. Just felt looked after.

Good quick lunch spot. The coconut rice is really nice. Plenty of options for veggies and meat eaters too. Got my order in and out fast. 👍

A nice spot that welcomes dogs, which is a plus. We had the fish and chips, decent portion for the price. The vibe was relaxed, good for a casual meal. Just a bit pricey on the drinks.

Staff were super friendly even when it was rammed. Really looked after our big group, checked on allergies and stuff. Made it easy.

Lovely spot right on the seafront. The room was so nicely done up, and waking up to that sea view was a real treat. Staff were really friendly too.

The bread-making course was a lovely surprise. Really enjoyed learning about the ingredients and the fresh, wholesome approach.

Popped in for a catch-up with friends. The apple and cherry tarts were so good we ended up ordering a second round! Perfect for sharing over a long chat.

The liver and moussaka were spot on&mdash;really hot, looked lovely on the plate. That lemon sorbet with the limoncello shot though, that was the best bit. Just a lovely, simple finish.

I went for their lunch set - a starter and a main. The salad was crisp, and the grilled chicken was tender. It&#39;s nice to see fresh ingredients at that price point.

Been coming here for years. Sam always remembers my usual drink, which is a nice touch. Service feels personal, not just going through the motions. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. We lingered over our pasta and wine, never felt hurried at all. Just a really pleasant, unhurried evening.
