The lamb shank is the only thing I care about here. It&#39;s braised for hours, so the meat just falls apart. The sauce is rich, a bit heavy on the rosemary for my taste, but it works with the creamy mash underneath. That&#39;s a proper, hearty dish.

Fleur was a great server. Quick, efficient, and handled our requests without fuss. The location is also very convenient for a business lunch. The food was fine, but the service made the visit.

Perfect spot for a quick bite. The burger and fries came out super fast. Staff were friendly and efficient. Just what I needed on a busy lunch break.

The crab linguine with sea bass was a lovely main. The house red was nice too. What really stood out was how comfortable the seating was, even for a longer meal. The cozy ambiance made it a very relaxing spot.

Grabbed a quick pizza for lunch. Tasty, solid crust. Megan was really friendly, service was quick. Got me in and out fast.

Found this spot by chance. The lamb curry was so tender, just fell apart. Staff were really friendly too. A solid find for a casual dinner.

Came here for a midweek dinner. The set menu was just under &pound;40 a head, which got us a starter, main, side, and a glass of wine each. Honestly, for what you get, the price is pretty decent. Everything tasted good, no complaints there.

The staff were so welcoming and attentive. Made for a really nice meal.

Been coming here for years, and the early bird discount is still a solid deal. Grabbed a pide before 6pm last week &ndash; it&#39;s as big and tasty as ever. Just a heads up, the place gets packed right around that time now.

The tandoori roti was spot on, honestly. Great texture, not too chewy. It just made sharing all the curries with my mates that much better. A solid choice for a casual catch-up.

Been coming here for years, and the paneer dish has never let me down. It&#39;s always just right. Noticed they&#39;ve added a few new things to the menu lately, which is nice. The upstairs seating is handy when it&#39;s busy.

The lamb chops were cooked perfectly, really tender. The shawarma was pretty good too. Service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it. Decent spot.

Been here a few times when I just want something filling and honest. The open grill lets you see everything being cooked, which is nice. Portions are generous for the price - my chicken karahi came in a proper bowl, not one of those shallow dishes. Left with leftovers for lunch the next day.

Lovely little spot for brunch. I was really impressed by how many vegan and veggie options they had on the menu. The staff were super welcoming, which made for a relaxed morning.

Great spot for catching up with friends. The big windows let in so much light, perfect for a long lunch chat. Some of the chairs are looking a bit tired, but honestly, we were too busy talking to care.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The haddock was spot on - really crispy batter, not greasy at all. Mushy peas were good too, proper bright green and creamy. Just a solid, classic fish and chips.

The food was pretty good, and the staff were genuinely friendly. They took the time to explain the specials, which was a nice touch. It was a solid meal overall, though the main course did come out a little slower than expected.

The craft night was so lovely. Just a quiet evening with some knitting, surrounded by friendly chatter. It felt warm and genuine, not forced at all. They really do create a nice little community here.

The Alchemist is a must-visit! The ambiance is lively, and the drinks are theatrical and fun, making it a great spot for a night out.

Menu&#39;s got loads of interesting stuff, took me a minute to decide. Food came out quick, which is what I needed. Everything was cooked spot on. Good for a quick bite.

Found this spot with BYO. Popped into the nearby Tesco for a bottle. Kept the bill down for a decent meal. Quick and easy for a midweek bite.

The Zafrani biryani was spot on. Had it with a glass of their house red, a surprisingly good pairing with the spices. The Rashmi Kebab and Lamb Tikka were solid too. Just wish the portions were a bit more generous for the price.

Service was spot on, and they had a nice wine list to browse while we waited. Food came out quick enough for a midweek visit.

A lovely, cozy spot tucked behind the Elephant Pub. I really appreciated the focus on fresh ingredients in my salad. The greens were crisp and the vegetables tasted garden-fresh, which made for a simple but satisfying meal. The atmosphere was very welcoming for a quiet weeknight dinner.

Service was genuinely warm and welcoming. The staff took a moment to discuss the wine list with me, which I really appreciated. They suggested a lovely glass of red that paired beautifully with my steak. Made the whole evening feel more considered.

Came for lunch before Christmas, it was packed. Staff handled the rush pretty well, food came out hot. A decent meal overall, though it was a bit noisy.
