Got here early without a booking. The tapas were spot on, especially the patatas bravas. Finished with a churros dessert that hit the sweet spot. Staff were really nice about it all.

Been here loads. Greek salad special is always fresh. Spicy meatballs are properly tender. One time there was a tiny hiccup, sorted straight away.

Zoe and Mariia were brilliant. Really professional, remembered our drinks order, and just made the whole evening run smoothly. A nice touch.

Maciej and Daniel were really helpful. The jugs here were noticeably fresher than at other places we tried. You could tell the ingredients were good quality.

The saffron ice cream was the perfect end to a rich dinner. Such a unique, subtle flavour. The fresh tea alongside it was lovely, though I wish the ice cream portion was a touch bigger.

Always packed, this Wetherspoons. The beer selection is the main draw for me, really solid. Food&#39;s fine for the price, nothing fancy but does the job. Gets a bit loud when it&#39;s heaving.

Been coming here for years for breakfast. Their full English is always spot on - the bacon&#39;s crispy, the eggs are runny, and the black pudding is just right. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

The lamb was tasty but a bit gristly. Mentioned it and the response was a bit dismissive. Still a decent spot for a quick bite.

Stopped in on a quiet Monday. The home-cooked food was really good, portions were huge. Friendly landlord too. Just what you need on a slow night.

Been here a few times. The portions are huge, you won&#39;t leave hungry. The meat is decent and the salad&#39;s always fresh. For what you pay, it&#39;s solid.

First time here and the food was spot on. The grilled sea bass was cooked perfectly, skin was so crispy. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere too.

Stopped in for a quick pint after a late meeting. The ale was spot on, properly kept and poured. Staff were efficient. A solid, no-fuss spot to unwind for an hour.

It gets packed on weekends, so be ready for a bit of a wait. The staff are doing their best to keep up though.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. They handled our large group with ease, and even prepared a special dish for a dietary need without any fuss. It made the whole evening very relaxed.

We ordered the grilled salmon for my birthday dinner. Loved how fresh the fish was, and the portion of greens on the side was generous. A nice, simple meal that felt good.

The fish and chips were spot on and the portions are huge for what you pay. Perfect for sharing with mates.

A decent pub near the harbour, always seems to have a good crowd of locals. We had the fish and chips, which was pretty good. The service was a bit slow, but the atmosphere made up for it.

Had a lovely dinner here. The scallops were spot on, and my wife&#39;s seabass looked great. Their wine list is surprisingly thoughtful for a neighbourhood spot - found a lovely white that went with everything. Menu&#39;s a bit overwhelming though, so many good choices!

Decent spot for a quick lunch in town. The service was prompt and staff were friendly. Parking was a bit tricky, but overall it&#39;s a solid choice for the price.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips are always spot on. It&#39;s my go-to after a walk in the park. The batter stays crispy, and the chips are proper. Just a reliable, no-fuss lunch.

Came for a birthday dinner. Staff were really nice, let us have the garden room for free which was a nice touch. BYO with no corkage is a big plus. Food was decent, but the steak was a bit over for my liking.

Jess was great with the kids. Super smiley and professional. Made the whole dinner way easier.

Been coming here for years. Always grab a seat outside on the quay, watch the boats. Their daily catch is consistently fresh and simple. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Popped in for a late lunch with the family. The fish and chips were spot on. Mark was a great host, really welcoming. The house red was a decent, easy-drinking choice with the pie. Made for a relaxed end to the day.

The cream tea was the main reason I went. The scones were warm and clearly homemade, which was nice. But for the price, I expected a bit more clotted cream and jam on the side. The portion felt a little light.
