Service was spot on. Staff were quick, noticed when our wine glasses were low. Appreciated the care with masks and distancing, felt comfortable. A bit of a wait to get the bill, but that&#39;s minor.

The onion rings were spot on, and the lamb steak special was cooked just right. Nice touch with the big jugs of water, too.

The courtyard is a real find on a sunny morning. Grabbed a flat white and a croissant, and just sat there for ages. Coffee was spot on.

Solid selection of beers. Tried the rye stout and a pale ale. Both were clean and poured nicely. Just popped in for a quick one and it hit the spot.

Wasn&#39;t expecting the affogato since it&#39;s not listed, but they made it for us anyway! Such a nice surprise to end our catch-up. The coffee was spot on. Made the whole afternoon feel a bit more special.

Sushi was fresh, good flavour. Presentation is neat. Service was efficient, they kept our water topped up without asking. Prices are reasonable for the area. Convenient location near the station.

A solid spot for veggies. The menu&#39;s got some nice variety, and everything I tried had good flavour. Their smoothies and milkshakes are the real highlight though.

Really liked the bright, airy feel of the place. The panini was tasty, bread was decent. Could&#39;ve used a bit more chicken inside though. Cake was nice.

Decent spot for a coffee in the town centre. Sat outside for a bit, the espresso was solid. Good for watching the world go by.

The lamb shank here is cooked for hours, just falls off the bone. The gravy is rich, not too salty. It&#39;s the kind of dish you focus on, nothing else matters while you&#39;re eating it. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in flavour.

Been a regular for years, and the oolong tea is still the highlight for me. Strong, full-bodied flavour that holds up well. It&rsquo;s the kind of drink that makes a simple meal feel complete. Always consistent.

Food comes out piping hot, which I appreciate. But for the price, I was expecting a bit more on the plate. The quality is there, just wish the portions matched the cost a little better.

The fish and chips here are spot on. The batter is light and crisp, not greasy at all. The chips are proper thick-cut and fluffy inside. Just a really solid, classic plate.

The student discount is a nice touch, and the app rewards are handy. Had the pasta with a glass of their house red &ndash; a simple but solid pairing for the price. The wine was a bit young, but it did the job. Good spot for a casual bite.

The schnitzel was exactly what I was looking for. Good portion size, came with a solid salad. Service was efficient, got in and out for a business lunch without any fuss.

The food was pretty decent. I just wish the staff were a bit more flexible with their policies. It felt a bit rigid for a casual meal.

Glenn&#39;s smile is always there. The service is attentive, you never have to look for anyone. It&#39;s just smooth.

Great spot to bring the dog! The staff were so nice, and my flat white was spot on. We grabbed some pastries after a long drive - just the right kind of casual place to catch up with a mate.

The retro arcade games in the back are a nice touch. My son loved them while we waited for our food. Kept him entertained, which was a plus.

The scones were warm and the cake selection was solid. Good sandwiches too. Appreciated that they offered to swap my hot tea for a cold drink without fuss when it got warm. Efficient service.

The dry ho fun with beef brisket is reliably good. My regular order, and it&#39;s consistently flavourful.

The oat flat white here was spot on. I&#39;ve got some dietary needs, and the clear labels on the menu plus the staff being so clued in made ordering a breeze. Really appreciated that.

The curries here are so good and the prices are spot on for a student budget. Huge portions too - my friends and I always end up sharing. Perfect for a casual catch-up without breaking the bank.

Been coming here for years, and Andre&#39;s tuna baguette is my go-to. It&#39;s always fresh, and I appreciate that they use vegan butter. Feels like a slightly better choice, but it still tastes great. The consistency keeps me coming back.

Proper old-school pub, feels like a real local. Pool table, darts, and plenty of screens for the match. 👍

The owner was really nice to our kids. They brought them some crayons and paper without us even asking. Made the whole dinner a lot easier for us.

Came here for my birthday. They had balloons at the table and brought out a small cake, which was a nice touch. The main course was tasty, but honestly, the portion felt a bit small for the price.
