Bottomless afternoon tea under the marquee was pretty good. Decent amount of food and they handled dietary requests well.

Hannah and Dave have put together such a cosy, quirky little spot. It genuinely feels like you&#39;re over at a favourite relative&#39;s house for dinner. The whole vibe is just really warm and welcoming.

Bottomless brunch was a fun vibe. I really appreciated the fresh fruit and greens in the salad bar &ndash; the ingredients tasted crisp and well-sourced. The staff kept things lively, though the music got a bit loud for a relaxed chat.

The hanging kebab was a fun presentation. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted.

The crab starter with that buttery dill sauce was the star for me. The monkfish was lovely, but that sauce... just kept me coming back for more with the bread. A really nice reminder of why I love French food.

Chef and host are so friendly. Felt like a local spot. Warm, cozy vibe. Just a nice, simple dinner.

Menu has solid options. The student and family deals are a plus. Portions are decent, didn&#39;t feel overpriced. Good spot for a straightforward meal.

I had a fabulous afternoon tea at The Ivy, where the food was delightful and the staff were fantastic. The chocolate cake served in a plant pot was a fun surprise, and the desserts were simply delicious. A truly wonderful experience!

Great spot for a quick bite. Food&#39;s solid gastro-pub fare, comes out fast. The back gin bar is a nice touch.

The food here is amazing and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal without breaking the bank.

The food tastes so authentic, just like in Thailand. I really appreciate how fresh and vibrant the ingredients are.

Had our wedding reception here. Mel, the event coordinator, was a star. The team was on it all night, really attentive. The space itself has such a unique vibe, which was exactly what we wanted.

Matt and the team are good hosts. The pub has a nice vibe for a casual drink. They even kept my forgotten umbrella behind the bar, which was a solid move.

Service was on point. They sorted out a small hiccup with our order really quickly.

The beer selection here is fantastic, loads of taps and a fridge full of proper Belgian stuff. Just the right kind of dim, cosy lighting too, perfect for settling in.

Wanted a quick bite and the vegan options here are solid. Hearty and tasty, even for a non-vegan like me. Got served fast at lunch rush, which is all I needed.

Popped in for the Sunday roast special. The place has a really cosy, lived-in feel - worn leather booths and low lighting. It&#39;s the kind of spot you could easily settle into for a few hours. Food was spot on.

A nice traditional pub with a cosy fireplace. The garden is pleasant, though it got a bit crowded.

Popped in for a quick pint and ended up staying for dinner. The fish and chips was massive, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good for the price.

Sam and Bella were lovely, really friendly and made the evening feel relaxed. Good service, they were a bit of a laugh too.

Great selection of local ales. The dark ones from small batches are the best. Music fits the pub vibe perfectly.

A proper old-school pub, feels like stepping back into the 90s. Had the steak and ale pie. The real star was the house red they suggested with it &ndash; a solid, earthy Rioja that cut right through the rich gravy. Made the whole thing. Bit of a wait for a table on a Friday, but that&#39;s the charm.

Staff swapped a dish for my dietary restriction, no fuss. The meat thali was a good call, loads of variety on one plate. Just what I needed after a long walk.

Service was pleasant and the pasta was pretty good. The waitress was attentive without being overbearing. A solid meal overall, though the portion felt a bit on the smaller side.

The steak was exactly medium-rare as I asked. The peppercorn sauce was rich and had a nice kick. Veggies were crisp and well-seasoned. A solid, straightforward meal.

Been coming here for years, and the burger deals on certain days are still a solid reason to swing by. Portions are generous, which is nice. The kids&#39; menu is a decent size too, keeps the little one happy. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for that.
