Really liked the cosy vibe here, felt like a proper neighbourhood spot. Staff were friendly without being over the top.

Loved the light, airy feel here. The space just feels so welcoming and bright. Food was tasty and not greasy at all, which I really appreciated. A nice, relaxed spot for a meal.

Stayed a couple nights. The breakfast really stood out - cooked to order, not a buffet. The eggs were spot on, and the sausages had a nice snap to them. Quality ingredients make a difference.

Came here for a birthday dinner with a few friends. The staff were so nice and checked in on us just the right amount. Made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. Good spot for a little celebration.

The setting is stunning, but the food is what I remember. The grilled octopus was perfectly tender, with a smoky char that didn&rsquo;t overpower the natural sweetness. Paired it with their house white. That&rsquo;s the dish I&rsquo;d come back for.

The Sunday roast was really nice, especially the Yorkshire pudding. It&#39;s a generous portion, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The seating is quite comfortable too, which made for a relaxed meal.

Lovely spot for a relaxed lunch. The staff suggested a local white wine that went perfectly with my seafood pasta. A bit pricey, but the pairing made it worthwhile.

The tasting menu was a real treat. Each course had such thoughtful flavours, and the plating was just stunning. Price-wise, it&#39;s similar to other nice places around here.

The afternoon tea was spot on. The scones were warm and the clotted cream was just right.

The staff were so lovely and welcoming to us and our pup! 🐕 Perfect spot to stop after a walk on the Downs. We grabbed a coffee and a slice of cake, and they even brought a little water bowl for the dog. Really nice for a casual catch-up with friends.

Came here with a couple of friends for a late breakfast. We just missed the scones, which was a bit of a shame as we&#39;d heard they were great. Still, the vibe was perfect for a catch-up, really relaxed.

Such a lovely spot for a catch-up with mates! The outdoor area was perfect for our group, and they didn&#39;t mind our dog at all. Food came out super quick so we could just relax and chat. Prices are really fair for what you get.

Lovely little spot. Food was delicious - the mushroom risotto was spot on, creamy but not heavy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening. Only slight wait for a table, but worth it.

Lovely to find a spot with a garden area where we could bring the dog. The staff were really nice about it and even brought a water bowl out for him. Made for a relaxed lunch.

Lovely spot, even if it&#39;s a bit hidden. The space itself is really calming &ndash; high ceilings and those big windows let in so much light. Just a nice place to sit for a while.

Came here for the first time last night. The steak and lobster were really good, especially the lobster - cooked just right. Portions were decent for the price.

Love the retro vibe here! Popped in for a lazy brunch with friends. It&#39;s a cafe, record shop, and a hair salon all in one. Such a cool, relaxed spot to hang out. The music playing was a nice touch.

Had a short wait for a table. The pulled pork baps and loaded hash browns were really good. The milkshake was a nice treat too. Found it a bit pricey, but the service was friendly and we felt comfortable staying a while.

Breakfast was solid. The sausages had a nice herb kick, and the baked beans were properly thick. The egg yolks were that deep orange you want to see. Iced coffee hit the spot. Kids&#39; meals are priced fairly, which is a plus.

Came here with a few friends last week. The portions are really generous, we ended up sharing a couple of starters and still had leftovers! Good for a casual catch-up.

Great spot for a quick bite. Got a pizza on a Tuesday night, cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. The refurb looks good, lots of detail. Wheelchair and dog friendly too. Fast service, which is what I needed.

The toffee apple crumble here is fantastic. Warm, with a perfect crumbly topping and just the right amount of sweetness. It&#39;s the kind of dessert you think about later. The portion was generous too, especially for the price. Really enjoyed it.

A lovely Sunday roast. The Yorkshire puddings were huge and clearly homemade, which was a real treat. The roast potatoes had that perfect crisp edge. My only small note is that the chairs are quite hard, so it&#39;s not the place for a long, leisurely lunch.

Came with a few mates for the Sunday roast. The lamb was spot on, really tender. Good size plate for what we paid. Nice spot for a casual catch-up.

Popped in for a quiet pint on a sunny afternoon. The beer garden is a real gem, very peaceful. They had a decent selection of local ales on tap. My pint was well-kept and hit the spot. A solid spot for a relaxed drink.

The lamb tikka masala was the standout. Meat was tender, sauce had good depth. Service was efficient, which I appreciate on a working lunch. A solid choice near the office.

Food&#39;s always reliable here, and it comes out quick even on a packed Friday night. I really like their fish and chips. The staff are friendly and the place just feels comfortable, which is what I look for.

Tapas were fresh and authentic. Meatballs, spicy chicken, padr&oacute;n peppers were all solid. Wine matched well. Good spot.

The roast lamb was really good, and the scotch egg starter had a perfectly runny yolk. What I liked most was the atmosphere though - the lighting was soft and the wooden tables gave it a warm, relaxed feel.

Been coming here for years. Natalie and Lexy always remember what you like. Grahame&#39;s a proper old-school landlord, always has a good story. It&#39;s the service that keeps me coming back.
