Stopped in here on a quiet evening and grabbed a seat near the window. Really liked that the menu had everything clearly marked for allergens, even gluten-free stuff. Made ordering easy, no fuss. Food was decent and the staff were friendly enough. Just a solid, comfortable spot if you want a relaxed pint and something to eat without any hassle.

Service was lovely - they brought the kids some free juice and ice cream without us even asking. Really made the evening easy for us.

The Christmas set menu was simple but the flavours were proper Italian. The prosciutto with honey on that focaccia really stood out. Tiramisu was lovely too, not too heavy. Place was busy but we got through it fine. I&rsquo;d go back for that starter alone, honestly.

Been coming here for a while now, always for the big breakfast. Cappuccino&#39;s got real chocolate on top, not that powder stuff. Portion&#39;s solid, keeps me full till dinner. Gets packed on Saturdays, but they&#39;re quick enough that you&#39;re not stuck waiting around. Consistent, which is why I keep going back.

Tucked away in a quiet little square, this place has that proper cellar feel &mdash; low lighting, stone walls, the lot. Cozy without trying too hard. We sat near the back and it was easy to forget you were in the middle of the city. Not a huge space, but that&rsquo;s part of the charm. Just mind the steps on the way down if you&rsquo;re not watching your feet.

Friendly staff and the pub had a proper buzz about it. Beef and mushroom pie was homemade, really decent. Prices fair for what you got.

Stopped in for a drink, ended up staying for dinner. Nachos were decent, chicken wings were actually pretty good too. Place has that old historical vibe which is nice. But honestly, the portion sizes felt a bit small for what you pay. I get it, you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere, but I left still a bit hungry. Fine for a quick bite, not for a proper feed.

Found this spot on the Michelin guide. Trout was spot on, well seasoned. Manager sorted us out nicely, proper service. Decent for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for years, still just as tasty. They even threw in extra sauce once, love that for us. 😄

Nice little spot for a feed. Coffee was grand and the staff didn&#39;t rush me out. Bit tight for space but that&#39;s the charm of it.

Cocktails were solid, that Spicy Cucumber one had a proper kick to it. Gabi looked after us well, friendly without hovering. Place had a good buzz about it.

Stopped in for brunch last Saturday. Got the pressed sandwich with smoked salmon&mdash;really tasty, no complaints there. Chai latte was on the sweeter side, which I liked. Menu&#39;s small but everything looked decent. Most plates around a tenner, fair enough for the area. Staff were sound, didn&#39;t rush us at all. Place was busy but not mental. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m passing.

Tomato mussels were unreal, steak cooked perfectly too. Service felt proper fancy but not stuffy. Pricey enough but class for a treat 🍷

Food came fast and portions were generous. Got the chicken burger and it was properly fresh, not soggy at all. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Decent spot for a quick lunch. Got the veggie curry, plenty of options which is handy. Food was tasty, no complaints. Staff were sound and didn&#39;t keep me waiting. Place itself was clean, felt genuine. Not the cheapest but fair for what you get. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The lamb shank was properly falling off the bone. Good portion for the price. Worth stopping in if you&#39;re passing through Beechwood.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and a bite. Service was fast, no hanging around waiting to order. Staff were sound, friendly enough without being over the top. Place was busy but they kept things moving. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something efficient.

The Pollo Funghi pasta was proper comfort food, creamy and well-seasoned. Decent portion for the price too. Just mind yourself around the area after dark, it gets a bit sketchy.

Came back three times during our stay. Karl and the team were spot on. Irish stew and fish and chips were solid, but the stout bread was the real winner. Lively spot, decent value for the area.

Came for the live music, stayed longer than I planned. Band was decent and the pints were flowing nicely. Proper old-school pub feel, crowd was friendly enough. Got a bit loud near the bar but that&#39;s on us for standing there. Fine spot for a few drinks if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped in while waiting for the Dart, ended up staying way longer than I meant to. Staff were sound, even watched my bag while I ducked out for a quick call. Coffee was decent, did the job. Place has a good buzz to it, easy to lose track of time. Handy spot if you&#39;re passing through.

The bruschetta was the highlight&mdash;tomatoes were actually ripe, bread nicely toasted. Diavolo pizza had a proper kick to it too. Service sorted out a small mix-up with our starter and threw in a limoncello, which was a nice touch.

Stopped in for a late breakfast &mdash; coffee was properly hot and the staff didn&#39;t rush me. Food came quick too. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The garlic potatoes with truffle mayo were the real highlight&mdash;proper comfort food. Pizza was decent too, though nothing mind-blowing. Service kept things moving, which I appreciated.

The Sunday lunch menu is honestly such good value. I got the hake with Greek-style sides and it was spot on, really fresh. Chocolate mousse for dessert was the highlight though. Service was grand, but the 10% service charge caught me off guard a bit. Still, I&rsquo;d go back for that mousse alone.

The pasta special was proper homemade, really fresh and tasty. Loads of options on the lunch menu too, sandwiches, burgers, pasta. Service was quick and sound. Good spot for a catch-up with mates 👍
