A great Sunday lunch and well worth the money A very good choice of starters and desserts as well as a great roast would highly recommend the folk at the Bridgewood Manor will be going again very soon very friendly staff and great service

As someone who needs gluten-free options, I really appreciate how many safe choices they have. The focaccia was a highlight &ndash; you could tell it was freshly baked and the ingredients tasted so clean. A real find for a careful eater like me.

Came for Sunday lunch. The roast was good, but the real star was the cornfed chicken with cauliflower cheese. The portion was huge, easily enough for two people. We ended up sharing it and still had leftovers. Sticky toffee pudding was decent too.

The &#39;Heart of Dracula&#39; dessert was the star for me. That homemade donut was perfectly soft, and the tangy sour cream with the fresh blueberries just worked. A really clever, tasty combo.

The calamari starter was a highlight. The batter was light and crispy, and the squid itself was so tender and fresh. Really appreciated that. The chicken kebab was nicely presented too.

Seafood platter was the main event. Scallops and mussels were standout. It&rsquo;s not cheap, but the quality justifies the price for a business lunch.

The staff were really lovely and welcoming. They made sure we were comfortable and checked in just the right amount. It was a very pleasant evening.

Been coming here for years, the owner still makes everything by hand. Had the pasta special last night, sauce was spot on. He&#39;s always up for a quick chat, which is nice.

Chloe and Kerry were so nice, really made us feel welcome. Even with the place packed, our food came out super quick. Just a good, easy lunch.

Been coming here for a while now. The cappuccino is really good, just the right foam. Breakfast is solid too, poached eggs are always on point.

As someone who needs gluten-free, their separate fryer setup is a big deal. Felt safe ordering the fish and chips. Staff took time to walk me through the menu, no rush.

Loved the vibe here. It&rsquo;s modern but feels so relaxed and homely, you can just sink into the evening. The layout really works, nothing feels cramped. A proper comfy spot for a laid-back dinner.

Lovely little spot right on the water. The view of the pier is so nice. Came for a late lunch with my sister. I really appreciated the fresh, simple ingredients in my salad&mdash;the greens were crisp and the tomatoes tasted like they were just picked. A very relaxed place for a healthy bite.

Lovely morning sitting outside. The breakfast was hot and fresh, the eggs just right. Simple but tasty. Felt like a nice little treat without being pricey.

The sharing platter was a good size for the price. The seats were comfortable, which made the meal quite relaxing.

Nice spot for a casual dinner. The vibe was chill, not too loud. We just walked in and got a table by the window. Food was decent, nothing crazy. Good for what it is.

Came here for a long-overdue catch-up with mates. The pigs in blankets were spot on &ndash; proper sausage, good crispy bacon. Just what you want on a cold evening. The place had a nice, relaxed buzz to it.

A bit tucked away from the main streets, but that&#39;s part of the charm. Found it by chance. The vibe is quiet, perfect for a slow lunch. Had the fish and chips&mdash;crispy batter, fresh fish. Just what I needed.

The staff were so polite and attentive, which made the whole meal feel really comfortable. A nice, relaxed spot for a proper sit-down lunch.

Stopped in after getting off the ferry. The sandwiches here are massive, really generous portions. Coffee was solid. A proper, no-fuss family-run spot.

Stumbled upon this place and loved the vibe. It&rsquo;s cozy but not cramped, with nice warm lighting. The green curry was authentic and tasty. Service was good too. A solid spot for Thai food.

Nice little pub with a friendly feel. The garden is lovely on a summer evening. I really appreciate that their menu clearly marks the vegetarian and gluten-free options. Makes choosing something easy.

The bottomless brunch was fine for our group of 14. The server did a good job keeping the drinks flowing, which isn&#39;t always easy with a big table. The food was decent.

Coconut rice was the standout. Perfectly sticky, with a subtle sweetness that went so well with the spicy curry. The rest of the Thai dishes were solid, but that rice really made the meal for me.

Heard good things, and they were right. Staff were friendly, service was quick. Got the chicken wrap - fresh and tasty. Perfect for a quick bite on a busy day.
