Been coming here for years. The fish is always fresh, and the chips are spot on - crispy, not greasy. The guy behind the counter takes his time to get it right. It&#39;s just a solid, reliable chippy.

Love the back garden. Perfect for a quick coffee break on a sunny afternoon. It&#39;s quiet and feels like a little escape. Just what I needed.

Had the No.7 and No.9 pizzas with friends. They were so light and tasty, perfect for sharing and chatting over. The spritz was a good call too. Just a bit pricey for the size, but we had a lovely catch-up.

The set menu was a nice surprise. That pork chop was so juicy, and the creme brulee had the most satisfying crack. Just a lovely, relaxed meal.

Bikash was a really attentive server. Food was tasty, portions decent for London prices. Sat outside, nice spot. The basement club was a bit loud though, could hear the bass upstairs.

The loaded fries were spot on, crispy outside and fluffy inside. The place was packed on a Friday, but the vibe was still relaxed. Tables are a bit close together though.

Completely different from their Finsbury Park branch where the staff there had long nails and looked unkept.  The staff here v professional.  Great food as always in a lovely spacious environment

Lovely little Spanish deli with a sweet garden out back. Such a nice spot for a catch-up with friends. The fruit trees were in bloom when we went.

The jerk chicken is packed with flavour and the portions are generous. The booths are really comfortable, which made for a relaxed meal.

The Italian-speaking staff made it feel so authentic.

A small spot, mostly for takeaway. The sushi was really good though, some of the best I&#39;ve had. They give you free miso soup if you eat at the counter. A solid, simple lunch.

Came for the old jail cells, they&#39;re a cool feature. The seating and lighting are nice, but honestly, the prices felt a bit steep for what you get. Good for a unique atmosphere, but maybe not for a regular meal.

This restaurant has a lovely outdoor space that&#39;s perfect for enjoying a meal with friends, especially in warmer weather. The ambiance is cozy and romantic, making it a great spot for special occasions.

Been gluten-free for years, and their pizza base is the best I&#39;ve found. Not spongy, great texture. Portion was decent for the price, felt like a proper meal. Elisa was lovely.

Loved the vibe here. The marinated olives and cheese platter were nice, but those lamb &amp; bulger meatballs were the star &ndash; so juicy and flavourful. The place just feels alive and cosy at the same time.

Solid local pub. The menu changes regularly, which keeps things interesting. They had a lovely mushroom and ale pie on my last visit. The real star was their house red, a really nice Malbec that went perfectly with it. A bit pricey for a pint and a pie, but the pairing was spot on.

Loved staying here for a weekend with friends. The food was really good, especially the Sunday roast. The village is so quiet and pretty, perfect for a relaxed catch-up. The pub itself has a lovely, cozy feel.

I highly recommend trying the margherita pizza here; it was incredibly saucy and tasted just like the ones in Italy! The quality of the ingredients really shines through.

The brownie here is so fudgy and rich, just right with a coffee. Such a cosy spot to read for a bit.

Excellent food and service! The handmade pappardelle pasta was a highlight, showcasing the natural flavors of the seafood beautifully.

I highly recommend the Ivy for its delicious food and excellent service. The atmosphere is perfect for both business meetings and casual dining.

Service was really nice. Gustavo, Kus, and Hamdi were all so friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It felt very relaxed and genuine.

Perfect pre-theatre spot. Oysters and a glass of Prosecco to start. Relaxed vibe, no rush. Exactly what you need before a show.

We have been going to the Haweli restaurant in Ealing for the post 25 years and we have never been disappointed. The many proprietors have always made us feel like family and it is so very refreshing to have people recognise you and welcome you. The food is always good and it&rsquo;s great that it reflects the origins of the owners, today we had the Bangladeshi flavours.

Been coming here for years, and that fresh orange juice is still the first thing I order. They squeeze it right there, no concentrate. It&rsquo;s just a simple, consistent pleasure that keeps me coming back.

Lovely old pub, really warm and cosy inside. Had a proper Sunday roast here, just what you want on a grey afternoon. The fire was lit, and the whole place felt so relaxed.

Cozy spot, perfect for a quiet dinner. Staff were really friendly, noticed they kept our water topped up without being asked. The background music was a nice touch, not too loud. Just a nice, relaxed evening out.

Been coming since the 80s. Still a Brighton institution. Flame-grilled burgers have that distinct flavour. Not like the big chains.

The pancakes were so fluffy, almost like a cloud. That texture is what I&#39;ll remember. The cozy vibe in the room just made it feel right.

Solid Mexican spot. The cactus hash browns were a nice surprise, and the fried beans had good flavour. My margarita was well-balanced, not too sweet, which paired nicely with the richer dishes. A solid choice for a casual meal with a decent drink.
