The Peshwari Chicken was a standout. Savoury, not sweet like the naan. Portion was generous for the price, which is rare these days. Left feeling very satisfied.

Came for a birthday dinner with a group. The food was great, service was spot on. They put us upstairs which was nice for the occasion. But honestly, the bill at the end was a bit of a shock for what we had.

Came here for dinner and really liked the vibe. The exposed brick and warm lighting make it feel cosy, not stuffy. Tables are well-spaced so you&#39;re not on top of other diners. It does get a bit loud later on, but that&#39;s just the energy of the place.

Love that they have events on most nights, makes it feel like a proper local spot. We went for the Sunday menu from Leona&#39;s Kitchen and it was so good. Perfect for catching up with friends.

The lamb biryani here is the real deal. The rice is perfectly spiced, not just hot but actually flavourful. The meat was tender, fell apart easily. Could eat this every week.

Just stopped by for a quick bite. The chef&#39;s passion really comes through in the flavours. Everything was spot on, from how it looked to how it smelled. Simple but impressive.

The food is always so flavourful, you can tell it&#39;s fresh. The staff are really friendly and pay attention, which makes a difference.

Been coming here for years. The salt and pepper prawns are spot on, and the sweet and sour ones are just as good. Always hits the spot for a quick, reliable meal.

Cosy spot with a real fire, and the local beer selection is good. The seats were comfortable for a long, relaxed visit.

Fantastic food, but it does get loud when they&#39;re busy. We were tucked in the back and struggled to chat. Next time I&#39;ll ask for a table up front.

Came with a big group and the garden out back was a real find. So peaceful even though it&#39;s right on the street. Our pup was very welcome, which was a nice touch.

The veggie breakfast was so fresh. You could tell the ingredients were just prepped, and it was a really nice portion. Coffee was smooth, not bitter at all. A good, healthy start to the day.

The veggie biryani here is the real deal. Basmati rice is perfectly separate, not mushy at all. The whole spices are fragrant, and the potatoes have a nice bite to them. Samosas are crispy and well-seasoned. Food is always served hot, which is a big plus for me.

The ordering app is a nice touch, makes things so easy. Just tap a few times and your food&#39;s on the way. Got a little discount through it last time too.

The milkshakes are the real star here, honestly. We came for a casual catch-up and ended up just ordering more shakes. The fries were good, but we barely touched them. It was a bit dim where we sat, but still a fun spot for a spontaneous hangout.

Came here for a birthday brunch with the girls. The space is huge, so we didn&#39;t feel packed in at all. Ended up in the karaoke booth after our mimosas &ndash; such a fun idea for a group!

Lovely old pub, very clean and relaxed. The front and back outdoor spaces are great for a pint. The barman with the beard knew his stuff, suggested a really nice local ale that went perfectly with my ploughman&#39;s lunch. Just what I needed.

The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. It was a calm spot to unwind after a long trip.

Breakfast wrap was decent, good portion. Tea selection is extensive, cakes looked fresh. Service was prompt, which I appreciate on a workday morning. Convenient location near the station.

Pastries, cakes, bread. All fresh. The selection is huge, honestly too good. Spent ages just staring at the counter. Ended up with a pain au chocolat and a croissant. Couldn&#39;t pick just one.

Outstanding food as always and a great ambience. The cocktails are stunning and I have no idea how any chef can make tomato bread taste so good 😋

The owners are this really sweet Japanese couple. They surprised me with a matcha and strawberry cake for my birthday &ndash; it was so thoughtful! The matcha flavour was spot on, not too sweet. Just a really nice touch to the meal.

The steak and ale pie was the standout. Rich, dark gravy, tender beef that fell apart, and a proper flaky pastry top. The mash was creamy, not lumpy. That&#39;s the kind of pub food you come back for.

The seafood pasta was the highlight. The sauce had a nice briny depth, and the clams were perfectly cooked, not rubbery at all. A solid dish.

The Sunday roast was spot on, proper Yorkshire puddings and all. Pub itself has that cosy, old-world feel.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, just the right level of buzz. Spent the whole evening feeling completely at ease. The staff were warm and funny too, which really added to it.

Been coming here for years, and the burgers are always spot on. Never had a bad one. They&rsquo;re just as good as the big-name places, but you get a proper meal without the chain vibe. Honestly, that&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.

Booked on a whim for a treat and it was a fine evening. The portions were just right for a comfortable three-course meal. Service was attentive, though the pacing between courses felt a touch slow at one point.
