Found this lovely cheesecake stall at the Quayside market. The owner was really friendly and gave me some nice tips for the area. The cheesecake itself was delicious, a perfect little treat while wandering around.

Grabbed a sharing board before the show. The cured meats and cheeses were spot on, really good quality. Service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it.

Staff were really friendly and attentive, which made a difference. They handled my gluten-free request without any fuss, just checked a couple of details. Felt properly looked after.

The full English was spot on! Perfectly cooked, and the portions are huge. It&#39;s a great spot for a big group brunch, we were able to chat for ages without feeling rushed.

The free sausage for my dog was a really nice touch. Staff were lovely, and the place is spotless.

Met a friend here for a catch-up over coffee. The lattes were nice and hot, just right for a long chat. The only thing is, the chairs are a bit hard for sitting for too long. It&#39;s fine for an hour or so.

The afternoon tea was lovely. The scones were warm and the sandwiches fresh. I enjoyed a glass of their house ros&eacute; with it&mdash;a surprisingly good pairing that lifted the whole experience. The staff were very attentive.

Yapas menu is solid for a snack. Cheese board was decent. Those tinned scallops though - surprisingly good. 👍 Had them with a drink, worked well.

Bottomless brunch was a solid option for a quick bite. Staff were friendly, even joined in on some of our games which was a nice touch. Food came out fast, no complaints there.

Family-run place, really cosy. Had the carbonara and it was just right, not too heavy. Perfect for a quiet dinner. Service was friendly but a bit slow, maybe because it was a Friday. Still, a nice spot.

Popped in for Sunday lunch. The food was really good, especially the roast. The space feels bright and airy, lots of natural light which was lovely.

Been coming here for years, and the lunchtime queue is just part of the deal. It&#39;s always there, but it&#39;s never a long wait. The food&#39;s always exactly what I expect &ndash; solid and consistent. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Been here a few times now. The food is always spot on, really nicely presented. Staff are genuinely lovely, makes it a proper local. A solid choice for a meal.

Nice spot for a quick lunch. Got the chicken sandwich, came out fast. Tasted fresh, decent portion. Place is clean and bright, which is a plus. Good for a quick bite.

Nice spot for a quick drink after work. The Pina Colada was solid, not too sweet. Music was at a good level, didn&#39;t have to shout. Service was prompt.

Decent Indian spot, handy for the bus and train. It&#39;s my go-to when I can&#39;t be bothered to cook.

Nice old-school pub, very clean. Their real ale selection is solid. Had a pint of the local bitter, which paired nicely with the ploughman&#39;s lunch. Prices are fair for what you get. Could do with a few more craft options on tap, but no real complaints.

Been here a few times. Staff are friendly, even when it&#39;s busy. Food is cooked fresh, so you might wait a bit. Worth it though.

The seafood linguine was lovely, and I really appreciated the comfortable seating. It&#39;s nice to be able to relax and not feel rushed. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. A very pleasant spot for a quiet meal.

The team here are always so lovely and genuinely seem to enjoy their job. They remembered my friend from last time and gave great advice on the wine list. It did get a bit slow when it got busy, but they were still smiling.

Cosy little pub right on the harbour. The fire was lit and it felt so warm and welcoming. Had the steak and ale pie, proper home-cooked stuff, and it was huge! Really hit the spot on a chilly day.

Found this proper old-school chippy tucked away in a quiet street. The cod was the highlight for me &ndash; really crisp golden batter and the fish inside was perfectly flaky and white. Just what you want from a classic fish and chips.

Cooked breakfast was solid. Plenty of food, good for a quick bite to start the day. Options are decent.

Lovely spot to bring the pup, they had water and a little treat for her. I tried the vegetarian all-day breakfast. The eggs were just right, and the avocado was perfectly ripe. Really appreciate when you can tell the ingredients are fresh.
