Been coming here for years. They never rush you, even if you turn up near closing. Last time, the server was just as attentive as always. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

A relaxing spot with comfy armchairs. The vibe is spot on. I enjoyed a well-made cappuccino with my pastry, though the coffee was a touch on the strong side for my taste. Staff were quick and friendly.

Been coming here for years. The haddock &amp; chips is always spot on, crispy batter and proper chunky chips. Mixed grill&#39;s solid too. Staff actually check in to see if everything&#39;s okay, which is nice. A bit pricier than it used to be, but you get what you pay for.

The food was really good, but the personal touches from the staff are what stood out for me.

Decent curry for a Thursday night. Good portion size, tasted fine. The lounge area is nice for a quick pint after. Bread was a bit greasy though. Does the job for a quick bite.

Breakfast here is a regular spot for me and my mates. The eggs and avocado are so fresh, you can tell they cook it to order. Leigh is just lovely, makes you feel so welcome. Perfect for a chilled catch-up.

Stumbled in after a long work day. The staff really listened to what I was after and got it spot on. Felt like a proper family-run Italian spot. That&rsquo;s rare these days.

Sunday roast was spot on, especially the beef. The apple pie and custard was a nice touch to end with.

The Sunday buffet is a solid deal, and their house red pairs surprisingly well with the richer curries. Decent value.

The Sunday roast was spot on. The beef was cooked just right, still pink inside, and the Yorkshire pudding had a nice crisp edge. The chocolate cake with custard afterwards was a good choice, the custard was warm and not too sweet.

Breakfast was decent, but the wait was longer than expected. The self-order machines are easy enough. A staff member clearing tables was really friendly though &ndash; had a good chat and gave us a tip for saving on future orders.

Friendly staff, really attentive with our toddler. They kept an eye on him, which let us actually enjoy our meal. The house red was a decent, easy-drinking choice that paired well with the relaxed vibe. Made for a much less stressful evening out.

Nice spot for a quick pint. Staff were friendly, and they&rsquo;ve got a little playhouse and some toys to keep the kids busy. 👍 Good for a relaxed afternoon.

First time trying Goan fish curry here, and it was a proper flavour bomb. The curry had a lovely depth, not just heat. Biriyani was spot on too. Will be back for that curry alone.

Stayed one night. The room was comfortable and clean, with a decent view. It was pretty good value for what we paid.

Came for a pint, ended up trying a few of the Windsor &amp; Eton ales. The staff were happy to let me sample a couple before I decided. Good to find a place that doesn&#39;t mind you taking your time to pick.

Popped in for a quick lunch after a riverside walk. I&rsquo;ve been coming here for years, and the butchery board is always spot on. Just as good as the first time I tried it.

This is without doubt a first class restuarant. I enjoyed the experience more than the Fat Duck. The food was of a very high standard but it was the service that stood out. Our waitress who wants to work at Pinewood Studios (i didnt catch her name ) was fantastic and helped make it a really good evening.

Loved the dessert trolley here! The pieces were so good, we ended up ordering a second round to share. The daily menu is a solid deal too. The staff were really nice, and the wooden decor inside is lovely. A great spot for a catch-up with friends.

We had a lovely evening. Adam, Anvitha, and Colin took great care of us. The food was fresh and tasty. I was particularly pleased with the wine list&mdash;found a nice Pinot Noir that went perfectly with the salmon. A very pleasant spot.

Caught a film screening here with their cheese board and a glass of red. The concept works well for a relaxed evening out. The setting is pleasant, though the board itself was a bit basic for the price. Good for something different.

Been coming here for years, and the beer garden is always a winner. Plenty of space, and they&#39;ve got those shaded tables sorted for when the sun&#39;s out. It&#39;s a proper spot to settle in. The cider on tap is a bit limited, but that&#39;s my only gripe.

Georgia was our server, and she made the night. So polite, always smiling, and really on top of things. The steak was cooked just right, and the whole meal was spot on. A really nice evening.

Cosy spot, loved the sharing plates. The grilled veggie platter was a highlight - you could really taste the freshness of the seasonal produce. The halloumi was particularly good. Service was attentive without being overbearing.

A really nice spot for a relaxed dinner. The staff were so friendly and thoughtful, even bringing out a little cake for us. It made the evening feel very easy and pleasant.

Gareth handled the breakfast rush so well. It was packed, but he kept everything moving smoothly and was really friendly. Made for a very relaxed start to the day.

Bright and spacious pub. Good spot for people-watching with that view of the pedestrian area. Drinks are reasonably priced. Just a relaxed vibe.
