Large family lunch on a packed Saturday. Staff were really on it - kept things moving, we never had to wait. Food came out quick and was spot on. Perfect for a busy group.

Easy to get in, no steps at the door which is a plus. Ordered on the app, quick and simple. Food came out fast, no fuss. Just a straightforward spot for a bite.

Booked Dickens 2 for a group. Staff were great, shoutout to Mario and Jack. Garden was a nice spot. Everything just ran smoothly, no fuss.

Tried the Charsi Karahi on the waiter&#39;s suggestion. It was a new one for me, and it was really good. The lamb chops starter was great as well. Cocktails were decent. A solid spot.

That lamb madras is just so good. It&#39;s become our go-to spot because of it. The staff are always lovely, which helps.

The mixed meze is a solid starter for two. Everything tasted fresh and the flavours worked well together.

As an Italian, I can vouch for the authenticity here. The chefs are from Naples, and it shows. My gluten-free pizza was spot-on. The staff really knew their stuff, too.

The chicken kebab was spot on, and they had a decent house red that went well with it. Just make sure you ask for the large pots of their sauces, the small ones are a bit stingy.

This place is spotless and has a really nice vibe. Had the Sunday roast here for the first time - the beef was so tender and the gravy was spot on. A solid find.

The sharing starter for two was the real highlight. The cured meats were top quality, and the grilled vegetables had a nice smoky flavour. Portion was generous for the price.

Came for a midweek lunch. The prawn risotto was really good, packed with flavour. Portion was decent for the price, left feeling satisfied without being overly stuffed. Service was quick and friendly.

The portions here are massive. Got the lunch special, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Really good value for a quick, filling meal.

The set meal for four easily fed our group of five. All dishes were well-prepared and tasty. Appreciated their flexibility with menu adjustments - made the evening run smoothly. Good option for a business dinner near the office.

Service was lovely. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not overbearing. They kept an eye on things without hovering, which made for a very relaxed lunch. The food was hot and full of flavour. A comfortable spot for a quiet meal.

Been coming here for years. The beer selection is solid, always a few good ones on tap. Food&#39;s reliably fresh and hot, just how you want it. Nothing fancy, but it&#39;s a proper local pub.

Been coming here for years, and the lamb biryani is always spot on. Just the right amount of spice, and the meat&#39;s always tender. That consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years. They&#39;re always spot on with large groups, even last-minute ones. Food&#39;s consistently good.
