Kitchen gets a bit slow when they&#39;re busy. Had to wait a while for the main course. The burger was fine, but I&#39;d stick with the seafood next time.

First time trying Goan fish curry here, and it was a proper flavour bomb. The curry had a lovely depth, not just heat. Biriyani was spot on too. Will be back for that curry alone.

The fish and chips were spot on - super crispy batter and those triple-cooked chips were a game changer.

Stayed one night. The room was comfortable and clean, with a decent view. It was pretty good value for what we paid.

The chicken and bacon pie was the reason for the trip. Flaky pastry, generous filling. It&#39;s a bit of a drive from the city, but the quality is consistent. Service was efficient.

Been coming here for years. The industrial look with all the plants is what keeps me coming back. It&#39;s just a really cozy spot to unwind. Feels the same every time, which I appreciate.

Been coming here for 25 years. The consistency is impressive. Food quality and service are exactly as I remember from my first visit. A reliable choice for that reason.

First time trying their strawberry maple waffle with Nutella and gelato. The waffle was so fluffy and warm, a great contrast to the cold gelato. The strawberries were fresh, not too sweet. Really enjoyed it!

Gets packed on weekends, but they handle it well. Kitchen&#39;s quick, and our server Alex was on it even with the rush. Food came out fast, no complaints there.

Been here a few times for a quick lunch. The sandwiches are consistently decent, solid choice for a business meeting nearby. The pub itself has a nice, relaxed vibe.

The pistachio gelato was really fresh, and the tiramisu cake had a lovely texture. Staff were still cheerful even though I popped in close to closing time.

Been coming here for years. The steaks are always cooked right, tender and well-seasoned. It&#39;s a reliable spot for a good meal, nothing fancy. Staff are friendly and seem to enjoy the job, which is nice to see.

Super clean spot, staff were really nice. Had to wait about half an hour for the pancakes though, which was a bit of a drag. They were good when they came.

Been coming for years, and their milkshakes are still the best.

Decent lamb chops and dosas, service was fine. Could be a bit cosier.

Good spot with sea views. Breakfast was decent and reasonably priced. The roof terrace is a bonus on a sunny day.

Love the family-run feel here. The chef came out to say hello to our table, which was such a nice touch. Made our girls&#39; night feel extra cosy. The pasta was good, but that personal vibe is what I&#39;ll remember.

Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Just the right balance for a relaxed meal.

Sunday karaoke was a blast! The food&#39;s decent, but service can be a bit slow when they&#39;re short-staffed.

Booked the private area for a party. Lizzy and the team sorted everything out smoothly. The food from the chefs was good, and honestly, the cost for the whole setup felt very reasonable for what we got.

Ordered through Uber Eats and they were really nice about swapping my fried eggs for scrambled. The extra black pudding was the best bit. The whole thing just felt like a proper, comforting breakfast.

The pizza had a good crust, crispy but not tough. The tomato sauce was a bit sweet, which worked well with the salty pepperoni. Could have used a touch more basil, but the flavour was solid.

The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and the tea was spot on. A solid choice for a full breakfast any time of day.

The grilled fish skewer was so tender and packed with flavour. My friend and I were just catching up over a few small plates, and this was the one we kept ordering more of. A bit pricey for the portion, but it made the whole evening.

Busy Saturday night, but the staff kept things moving smoothly. My grilled salmon was cooked just right, still moist inside. The side salad had really fresh greens, crisp and vibrant. Appreciated that even with the rush, the kitchen didn&#39;t compromise on the ingredients.

The seafood pasta was the highlight. The sauce had a nice briny depth, and the clams were perfectly cooked, not rubbery at all. A solid dish.

Nice little spot for a quick bite. Coffee&#39;s solid, local beans. Staff are friendly but service can be a bit slow when they&#39;re busy. Good for a fast lunch break.

Came for the steak. Cooked exactly as asked, nice char on the outside, perfectly pink inside. The peppercorn sauce was the standout though, really rich and flavourful. That sauce made the dish. Could have done with a few more chips on the side, to be honest.
