The pappardelle with mussels and fennel salami alla vodka was spot on. Pasta cooked perfectly, sauce had a great depth.

They were really good with our group, especially for the two of us who need gluten-free. So many options, which is great, but it still just felt like a regular place to eat.

Been here for breakfast a few times. The steak and eggs is solid, cooked just right. Staff are quick and friendly. Good spot to start the day, though it can get a bit busy.

The bottomless brunch is a solid deal. Chris kept the mimosas flowing, which was the real highlight for me. He was really on top of it. The food was fine, but honestly, the steady pour made the whole afternoon.

Big group for a birthday. The food platter was the star &ndash; cheeseburgers were juicy, halloumi fries perfectly salty. Reese, our host, kept the energy up and had us laughing all night. Solid spot for a crowd.

Staff were super friendly even though it was packed. Our server remembered our drink order and checked in just the right amount. Made a hectic Friday dinner feel relaxed.

Came down from Leeds and tried the jal jhal chicken. It was proper spicy, but in a good way. Really enjoyed it. Prices are decent compared to what I&#39;m used to.

Tray meal&#39;s a great deal. We get it every week now. Good portions, decent variety. Nothing fancy but hits the spot.

The lamb curry was the best part. Really flavourful but not too spicy, just how I like it. Had it with some rice and it was a solid, filling meal.

Popped in with a couple mates after work. The fish and chips were spot on, and the burger was huge! Got two mains, a pint, and service for under &pound;25 each. Perfect for a casual catch-up without breaking the bank.

Popped in for lunch, the pasta was really good. Fresh ingredients, simple but tasty. Staff were nice about a last-minute change to my order.

Almost walked right past this place! The ciabatta was a nice surprise - really fresh mozzarella and the pesto had a good kick. Found a spot to park on the street, which was handy.

Been a few times now, always find a decent pint. The ales are well-kept, which you don&#39;t always get. It&#39;s just a comfortable, no-fuss local. A solid spot.

The Viz annuals were a fun touch. But the main thing was the food. The pork belly was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and just melted. The sauce was a bit too sweet for me, but the meat itself was spot on. That&#39;s what I came for.

Food&#39;s always hot and fresh, which is a nice touch. The space itself is cosy, with these warm wooden tables and soft lighting that just makes you want to stay a bit longer. A proper little find.

The free arcade games were a total hit with our group! It kept the vibes going while we waited for our drinks. The jukebox added to that classic pub feel, perfect for a casual catch-up.

Lovely spot for a coffee and a snack. The ingredients tasted really fresh, which I always appreciate. ☕️

Service was pretty good here. Asif and Toby were both friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant evening. The food was decent, though the pacing felt a touch slow at times.

The portions here are huge for what you pay. I had the breakfast plate and it was more than enough to keep me going all day. Really good value for money.

The lemon drizzle cake was the highlight. Generous portion for the price, moist and tangy. I was a bit disappointed the pizza wasn&#39;t on that day, but the cake alone made it worthwhile. Good value for a treat.

The ice cream taco is the star for me. It&#39;s a crispy shell with soft vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. A fun way to end the meal. The regular tacos were good too, but that dessert is what I&#39;ll remember.

Service was spot on. Our waiter knew the wine list inside out, suggested a fantastic pairing for the lamb, and explained it without any fuss. Made the whole evening.
