The staff here are so friendly and chatty, it really does feel like dropping by a mate&#39;s place for dinner. The cosy vibe is spot on for a chilled-out meal. Just a heads up, it got a bit loud when it filled up later on, but that&#39;s part of the charm, I guess!

Stopped in on a road trip. The pizza was spot on. Owners were lovely, chatted with us. Local crowd was friendly, made it a fun little stop.

Been coming here for years. The venison and cranberry pie is my go-to. It&rsquo;s always the same &ndash; rich, hearty, and the pastry is spot on. That consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years. The fish and chips is always spot on - crispy batter, fresh fish. It&rsquo;s the one thing I know I can count on. A solid meal for under &pound;15.

Standard Wetherspoons menu. Decent food, reasonable prices. Got a burger and a pint, didn&#39;t break the bank. Reliable spot for a quick meal and a drink.

Been coming here for years, and the outdoor seating by the harbour is always the main draw for me. It&#39;s just a nice, consistent spot to relax with a glass of wine. The crab and prawns were decent this time, though I&#39;ve had better.

Loved the character here, especially the rustic beams. The wine list was a pleasant surprise, with some interesting local options.

The chicken burger here is a proper one. Freshly made, juicy patty, not that dry fast-food stuff. Really hit the spot.

Dog-friendly, they even had treats for our pup. Staff were pleasant and friendly throughout. Food was fine, nothing standout. Good spot for a quick, casual meal if you&#39;re in the area with your dog.

The owner was really friendly and attentive, checking in on us a few times. They went out of their way to find a table for us when we walked in without a booking. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed kind of service that makes you feel looked after.

The fish and chips were really good. The sole was lightly battered and the skin-on fries were spot on. The homemade tartare sauce was a nice touch, really made it.

A nice place to stop for tea after a long walk. The tea cake was lovely and the pot of tea was just right. The facilities were spotless, which is always appreciated. A very comfortable and relaxing visit.

Breakfast is a good deal. The fried bread was spot on, bacon cooked just right. Portions are decent for the price, which is rare these days. A solid choice if you&#39;re watching your spend.

Loved how welcoming they were to our pup! Madeline was so sweet and even brought him a little treat.

First time trying the cauliflower steak here. It was actually really filling, and I liked that they had a few veggie options. The salad was nice too.

The sharing roast for six was fantastic, especially the beef. Plenty of space for a big group, felt really comfortable.

Saxon was a great server. The bottomless brunch is a solid option for groups.

Alison was lovely, really apologetic about the wait. Cheese and onion toastie hit the spot. Could use more staff during lunch rush, but got my quick bite in the end.

The Sunday carvery was a lovely surprise before our walk. The roast was spot on, and that sticky toffee pudding... just the right amount of warmth and sweetness. A cosy, quiet corner made it feel like a proper little treat.

The art deco interior is gorgeous, really sets the mood. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages just chatting, the vibe is that good.

Been coming here for years, and I still love that they tell you exactly where the fish is from and the farm for the potatoes. It&rsquo;s that kind of detail that keeps me coming back. Just feels honest.

Love the spot by the river. Had the Sunday roast last weekend - the beef was so tender and the Yorkshire pudding was spot on. A proper cosy pub vibe inside, perfect for a grey day.
