The Monday 99p mains are a steal. Alessia was lovely and suggested a nice glass of red that went perfectly with the steak.

My go-to for a quick coffee break. The brew is always hot, never bitter. Gets busy at lunch so sometimes a short wait to order. Still, a solid spot for a fast caffeine fix.

Been here a few times. The lasagna is solid, tastes like the real deal. Laura and Mikayla are always friendly and make you feel welcome. A good local spot for a reliable meal.

Quick lunch spot. Ordered the chicken tikka masala. Came out fast, which is key for me. Flavour was solid. Staff were friendly and efficient. Got me in and out in under 30 mins. Perfect for a quick bite.

Danielle was brilliant, so attentive. We mentioned it to Sarah, the manager.

The owner gave us a quick tour of the kitchen, which was a nice touch. Seeing where they prep the fresh seafood each morning was pretty cool. Staff were all really friendly too.

Ada was so helpful with suggestions, really appreciated that. The food came out pretty quick for how packed it was. Portions were decent for the price, felt like I got my money&#39;s worth.

Such a lovely spot by the canal. The gardens were beautiful, really made the whole evening feel a bit more special. Perfect for a relaxed meal, just what I needed.

We didn&rsquo;t have a booking but got a lovely quiet table. The roast beef was just right, and the sticky toffee pudding was light and fresh.

Stopped by for a quick coffee. The homemade shortbread that came with it was a nice surprise, really good. For the price of a standard latte, getting that little extra felt like a proper deal. Wouldn&#39;t mind that becoming the norm everywhere.

A real local favourite, which is always a good sign. The menu has so much choice it&#39;s almost overwhelming. Went for dinner and everything was tasty, and honestly, the prices felt very fair for what you get.

Had the Sunday roast here. Properly cooked beef, generous portion of veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding. The old building is lovely, bit drafty by the window though. Solid lunch.

Jimmy the owner is super friendly. I asked for a slight change to the pasta dish and he sorted it out no problem. That kind of willingness to accommodate a small request makes a difference. Portions were decent for the price, so felt like a fair deal overall.

The grilled cheese was loaded and the tomato soup was a perfect match for a glass of house red. Fries were solid, too.

Stopped in after a walk on the beach with the dog. They brought him some bacon, which was a nice touch. I had the fish tacos and a margarita&mdash;both were solid. Friendly spot if you&rsquo;ve got a pup with you.

The staff were really on it. Quick to refill water, checked in without hovering. Made the whole evening relaxed. Just a nice, smooth experience.

The steak was cooked exactly as ordered, medium-rare. Juicy and flavourful, with a good sear on the outside. The peppercorn sauce was rich but not overpowering. A solid main course.

The place was buzzing, which I always like. The music and decor really did feel authentic. It was a bit loud for a proper chat, but the energy was great.

Meal for a family of 4 after a visit to Tapnell Farm, staff were polite, pleasant and helpful. Drinks arrived promptly, food not long after. Recommend The Matador burger for me, the chicken wrap my daughter smashed, hotdog demolished by my son, and hubby had the big smoke burger which he enjoyed. Recommend to visit but booking is advisable to get a table no matter what season

The Chateaubriand was a decent cut, and carving it at the table was a nice touch. The service was efficient, though perhaps a little too quick for a relaxed evening. My kids were happy with their pizzas.

Came for the buffet with a few friends. The space is really well-designed, with high ceilings and those big, comfortable booths. Felt relaxed just sitting there, even when it got busy. Food was fresh and had good variety.

First time here, went for the Chef&#39;s Special Breakfast. The eggs were fine, but the mushrooms were the star &ndash; really flavourful and buttery. Classic diner vibe, which I liked. Service was quick.

Loved the vibe here. The decor is so stylish and funky, loads of little details to take in. It just feels relaxed and lively at the same time. A really nice spot for a laid-back meal.

The staff were so kind and helpful with our little one! Made it a really easy night out with friends.

Valentine&#39;s dinner was lovely. The steak was cooked just right, and the chocolate dessert was a nice finish. Cocktails were solid. Service was attentive but not hovering. A pleasant, relaxed evening.

The food was tasty, but I found the portion sizes a bit small for the price. My main course was gone in a few minutes. Still, it&#39;s a cozy place and the staff were friendly. Just remember to ask for less spice if you don&#39;t like it hot.

Great little family-run Spanish place. The tapas are spot on - the patatas bravas had a nice kick, and the croquetas were creamy inside, crispy outside. Sat in their covered patio with the heaters on, felt just right for a cool evening. Solid Spanish beers to match.

Been coming here for years, and the food always feels like home. That lamb stew with the soft potatoes? Just like my mum used to make. It&rsquo;s the one thing I keep coming back for.

The beef cheek was the standout. Fork-tender, slow-cooked for hours. The rich, savoury sauce had a deep, almost sticky consistency that clung to the meat. A very satisfying main course.

The takeaway portions are huge, and the wings are spot on - crispy and fall-off-the-bone tender.
