Popped in for the Sunday roast. The beef was really tender, and the Yorkshire pudding had that perfect crisp edge. Veg still had a bit of crunch, which I liked. Decent portion, felt like a proper homemade meal.

Came for the Sunday roast. That roast beef was just spot on, really tender and flavourful. The walnut brownie after was a nice touch too. Good spot for a lazy weekend lunch.

Handy spot right by the ferry. Popped in for a quick bite before catching the steam train. The portion for the fish and chips was decent, but at &pound;16.50, I did expect a bit more on the plate. It filled me up, just.

Tried it on a whim. Food&#39;s genuinely homemade, you can tell. The vibe is relaxed, perfect for a long catch-up, not a quick stop. Prices are a bit all over the place though.

The rustic decor is lovely, and they have a great selection of local wines by the glass. A very relaxed spot for a long lunch.

Love the 70s and 80s tunes they play here. It&rsquo;s a bright, clean spot with a really chill vibe. The staff are super friendly and the free WiFi is a nice touch for a casual hangout.

Been coming here for years, and the chicken satay salad is always my go-to. The portion&rsquo;s generous, and I love how the spicy peanut sauce works with the cool melon slices. Just hits the spot every time.

The chips were spot on - hot, crispy, and perfectly salty. The fish was decent too. Portions are generous for what you pay, which is always a plus. A solid choice for a classic.

Stumbled on this cafe after a walk. The tuna mayo sandwich was decent, but for &pound;8.50 I expected a bit more filling. The scone was nice though.

Nice pub with a pool table and sport on the telly. The outdoor terrace is decent, heaters are a plus.

Always busy, but the line moves fast. Got the classic burger and fries. Exactly what you want for a quick, solid lunch. No fuss, just good food. Worth the short wait.

I&#39;ve had gelato all over Italy, and this spot is the real deal. The pistachio flavour is incredibly intense, just like the ones I had in Sicily. That&#39;s the mark of a good gelateria for me.

Been coming here for years, and Savannah at the bar is a big reason why. She remembers my usual, always has a new drink suggestion that actually works, and just makes the place feel like a proper local spot. That kind of consistent, friendly service keeps me coming back.

Decent fish and chips for the price. Had the cod and chips lunch special - portion was generous, fish was fresh. Quick service, easy to grab and go. The daily deal is worth checking out.

The lunch deal is pretty good value. Cod and chips with a hot drink for a decent price. Fish was cooked well, nice crispy batter.

I&#39;ve been a regular here for years, and their loose leaf tea is always so fresh. The cinnamon toast is my go-to&mdash;you can tell they use good quality ingredients. It&#39;s just a nice, simple treat.

Great spot near the cricket ground. The cask ales are spot on, and the table service is a nice touch even if you&#39;re just drinking. Friendly staff who know their beers. The cricket stuff on the walls is interesting to check out.

Stayed a few nights for work. The room was snug and comfortable, nice bedding. Breakfast was good, plenty of parking. The house red by the glass was surprisingly decent, a proper start to the day.

The staff were just so lovely. They noticed my water was low before I did, and checked in without being overbearing. That kind of attentive service is a real treat. Made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy.

The New Mill is a really well designed and spacious restaurant, the staff are very pleasant and helpful. They have a good menu and the food is excellent. A very enjoyable and comfortable experience. I have eaten there many times and the different people I have taken there share the same opinion.

Great beer garden out the back, really comes into its own on a sunny afternoon. Solid choice of local ales. Staff are a friendly bunch, which makes a difference. A proper local.

Booked for a birthday, and the steak fajitas sizzler was spot on. Arrived quickly too, which was a lifesaver.

The Mexican burger here has a good kick to it. The patty was juicy and the spice level was just right, not overpowering. That&#39;s what I came for. Portions are decent.

First time here and the vegan options really stood out. The seitan burger was actually satisfying, not just a token veggie patty. Nice to see a place that puts some thought into it.

Lovely, relaxed spot. The cream tea was nice, scones were generous and warm. The whole place just feels so calm, perfect for a quiet afternoon. The only thing was the clatter from the kitchen door every time it swung open, a bit jarring in that peaceful setting.

The roast was cooked beautifully, generous portions too. But it was the homely feel that really got me, like a cosy Sunday at home. That&#39;s the bit I&#39;ll remember.

The brownies are so good, I had to get a box to take home. The staff were really friendly and helpful when I was picking out flavours. It&#39;s a lovely little spot for a treat.

Nick the owner is so lovely, really makes you feel at home. The food is fresh and you can tell it&#39;s made with care. Perfect spot for a relaxed catch-up with friends.

The fish was cooked fresh, batter was light and crisp. Chips were golden and fluffy. Mushy peas were a nice touch. That&rsquo;s pretty much it.

Stumbled upon this cafe just off the high street. The coffee and homemade cakes are very reasonably priced. Soup and coffee were served properly hot, which I appreciate. Good spot for a quick, no-fuss lunch.
