It has been a few years since we last visited Carluccios, and boy, have we been missing out!  It&#39;s every bit as good as we remembered it - great food, great ambience, friendly and efficient service.  The only disappointment was that they were out of stock of Chiant, so we had to settle for our second choice of wine - but that was fine. We&#39;re looking forward to visiting again soon!

Gabby and her team are so lovely. They remembered my name from last time, which was a nice touch. Just felt properly looked after, you know?

booked a table for five off us as a birthday  treat the booking was easy manager and staff could not do enough for us will definetly be back very soon

Lovely to see they welcome dogs, but the real highlight for me was the freshness of the ingredients in the salad. The greens were crisp and vibrant, and the grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned. A very pleasant lunch.

The live music nights are a nice touch. But honestly, I&#39;m here for the food. The fish and chips are the real draw - the batter is light and crisp, and the chips are proper thick-cut. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Grabbed a quick bite here. The nachos were solid, exactly what you want for a casual lunch. Food came out fast, which is key for me. Decent spot for a no-fuss meal.

Been here a few times now. The food&#39;s always solid, but what really stands out are the desserts. The chocolate tart last night was fantastic - perfect pastry, rich filling. Best I&#39;ve had in Chichester.

The family who runs this place are just lovely. You can feel the warmth when they greet you. It&#39;s a genuine smile that makes you feel looked after, not just served.

Been coming here for years. Sid&rsquo;s always behind the bar, same friendly chat. That&rsquo;s what keeps me coming back&mdash;just a reliable, good spot.

The gammon steak was spot on, really hit the spot. Staff were lovely and cheerful too.

The turkey was so fresh and tender, and the vegetables were crisp and colourful. Just what I look for in a meal.

Michael&#39;s welcome was spot on. Felt looked after from the moment we walked in. Made the whole evening.

Jamie the manager always remembers us and our little one. The food is reliably good and always comes out hot. It&#39;s a nice, easy spot for a family meal.

Stopped in for a pint after the train. The place has a proper old-school feel to it, really liked the vibe. Live music was on, which made it quite lively. Just a nice, easy spot near the station.

The chicken shawarma pizza was a nice surprise. Really appreciated how fresh the ingredients were, especially the veggies. It felt like a lighter option, not heavy or greasy.

The Sunday-Thursday set menu is a solid deal. About &pound;60 for two with drinks, and the food was genuinely tasty.

Venkat&#39;s service was spot on. The fish and chips were proper good, crispy batter and the chips were just right. Been coming here for years and it&#39;s always reliable.

The soft background music was just right, not too loud. It felt cozy and intimate, perfect for a quiet dinner. The lighting was warm and low. Really helped me unwind after a long day.

Popped in here on a walk around Windsor. The menu had a decent variety and the prices were fine. We had the fish and chips &ndash; it was pretty good, though the chips could have been a bit crisper. A solid spot for a casual lunch.

The sea bass was spot on, cooked just right. The braai platter was huge and had a proper smoky char. A solid meal, though the sides felt a bit like an afterthought.

Been coming here for years, and the garden is still the main draw for me. Always find a quiet spot under the trees. They remember my dog too, always have a biscuit ready for him. It&#39;s just a consistently nice place to unwind.

The Tom Yum soup was the star. Just like what I had in Bangkok &ndash; that authentic, fragrant kick. Generous portion too, packed with prawns. A solid choice.

Lovely spot by the river for a quiet afternoon tea. I really appreciated the separate cake stands they brought out for my dietary needs &ndash; it made everything so much easier and more relaxed. A very considerate touch.

Six of us were celebrating a birthday and we were very well looked after from arrival to departure.  The service was excellent and we were cossetted by Mikhail our waiter whose jovial observations made the visit memorable.  The ambience is very relaxing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The burger was spot on, juicy and cooked just right. Paired it with a local craft lager that cut through the richness nicely. Service was warm and genuine. The pasta dish, however, felt a bit underwhelming compared to everything else.

The lamb mandi was so tender it fell apart. The rice had just the right seasoning and was really fluffy.

The show&#39;s tribute area is a nice touch for fans. It&#39;s got some memorabilia but doesn&#39;t feel like a forced tourist trap.

Lovely bright cafe, grabbed a seat outside in the sun. Asked for a fresh sandwich and they made one no problem. Just what I wanted.

This restaurant is a gem! The staff is friendly, and the food is excellent, especially the macchiato. A perfect spot for brunch!

Service was spot on. They handled our group&#39;s dietary needs without any fuss, really attentive. Makes a difference when you&#39;re out for a meal.
