The family that runs this place is lovely. Staff are friendly and actually know the menu, which is nice.

The manager was so kind when my friend wasn&#39;t feeling well. They handled everything calmly and even packed up our food for us. Really appreciated that.

Been coming here for years, the tikkas never disappoint. The chicken is always juicy, and the lamb has that perfect char without being dry. Honestly, it&#39;s the one thing I can always count on.

Popped in for the Thursday lunch special. The pizza base was spot on, just the right texture. Service was quick and friendly, even with the lunch rush. A really comfortable spot for a solo bite.

The Sunday curry special is really good. Quick service, got my order in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a fast lunch break.

Had a great catch-up with friends here. The staff were so fun and friendly, really added to the vibe. Food was lovely, especially the pasta. A bit on the pricier side, but we all had a good time.

The place is spotlessly clean, which I really appreciate. It just feels good to sit in. I&#39;ve tried a few dishes and they&#39;ve all been tasty.

First time here, had the fish finger bap. It was really nice and fresh. The staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome, which is always a plus. We&#39;ll definitely be back.

Had the grilled sea bass today. You do wait a bit, but you can tell it&#39;s cooked fresh to order. The fish was incredibly moist and flaky, and the lemon-herb seasoning was light and clean. Really appreciated that they use local, line-caught fish &ndash; you can taste the difference in freshness.

The beef cheek was cooked for hours, so tender it fell apart with a fork. The red wine sauce had a deep, rich flavor that wasn&#39;t too sweet. It&#39;s the kind of dish you just focus on eating.

The room was spotless and comfy, had everything you need. The tea and coffee stuff was a nice touch. Breakfast was really good, loads to choose from.

Been coming here for years. The fish and chips are consistently spot on, especially the chips fried in beef dripping.

Portions are generous and the food is fresh. It&#39;s a lively place, especially when they do the birthday celebrations and the whole room gets involved. Can get a bit loud for a business lunch, but good for a casual group meal.

The cheesecake was the standout. Rich, dense filling with a buttery, crumbly base that wasn&#39;t too sweet. Perfect texture. The rest was fine, but I&#39;d go back just for a slice of that.

Nice spot for a quiet pint. Lyla behind the bar was lovely and quick. Just a heads up, the drinks are a bit on the pricey side for what you get.

Got a steak dinner with wine using a Groupon. Solid deal for a quick bite. Steak was decent, came out fast which is what I needed. Good for a no-fuss lunch.

First time here and the staff were so nice! They remembered my name and chatted about the menu. The food was good, but honestly, the service made it. Felt really welcome.

Nice spot just off the main road. The lasagne was pretty good, and the Eton mess was decent. Service was friendly, if a little slow.

A nice spot for a relaxed coffee. The staff were really welcoming to my dog, which makes things so much easier. We tried the halloumi toast, it was tasty. A comfortable place to stop in.

Stopped in for a quick bite. They had a fire going which was nice on a cold day. Staff were really chill and even gave our dogs a few treats. 👍

Lovely spot for a drink by the water. The patio view is just perfect for unwinding. They had a local musician playing last night, which was a nice touch. A bit pricey for the cocktails, but you&#39;re paying for that view.

The menu had so many pizza and pasta choices, it was a bit hard to decide. The portions are really generous though, which I appreciate. The staff were very patient while we looked through everything.

Been coming here for years. Always a solid choice for a pint. The landlord really knows his stuff, can tell you about every beer on tap. Good selection of local ales.

I always stop by for my morning coffee. It&#39;s consistently good, and I appreciate that it doesn&#39;t cost a fortune. The space itself is really pleasant, which makes taking a moment to enjoy it feel easy. A solid, reliable spot.

The Sunday roast was spot on. Beef and lamb were both cooked just right, and the portions are generous.

Such a cosy spot, and they&#39;re dog-friendly! 🐶 The cocktails were a real highlight, definitely coming back to try the food.

The happy hour deal is a steal! Portions are decent, not huge, but honestly perfect for sharing with a friend. Everything came out super hot and tasted great. Just the spot for a casual catch-up.

The bartender was so welcoming when we popped in for a drink! The cosy, rainy-day vibe was just right for a catch-up with my friend.
