Love the 50s diner vibe here. Their milkshake menu is huge, and the cakes look fantastic.

Had the breakfast ciabatta and a flat white. The coffee was good, but the real star was their selection of craft beers and natural wines. Perfect with the food. A solid little spot for a relaxed bite.

Been coming here for years. The terrace view is the main draw for me, never gets old. It&rsquo;s just a really solid spot for a pint by the water.

Service was quick and friendly. The cod was tasty, the tea was a nice touch. Food came out fast, which was good as we were just popping in. 👍

Been coming here for years, the coffee&#39;s always spot on. Their pastries change daily, had a fantastic raspberry danish this morning. Love that they&#39;ve got a proper outdoor bit for the dog.

Grabbed a takeaway lunch here. The compostable packaging and wooden fork is a nice touch, feels a bit more considered. Food was decent too.

Popped in for lunch in the village. Got the Yorkshire pudding wrap with chicken and onion, plus chips and gravy. It was all homemade, which was nice. The portion was huge though &ndash; couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good for the price.

The cask ales here are spot on. Had a pint of their seasonal bitter, proper cellar temperature and a nice creamy head. The manager mentioned they rotate the hand pumps weekly, which explains the fresh taste. A bit pricier than the pub down the road, but you&#39;re paying for the quality.

The full English was cooked just right. The house ale was a solid pairing, though the coffee could be a bit stronger.

Quick lunch spot, perfect for a fast bite. Their pepperoni pizza is always hot and ready in minutes. Staff is friendly, makes the whole process smooth. A bit pricey for the size, but the speed is worth it.

Came by for a quick bite, ended up upstairs. The chicken parma was huge, really hit the spot. Gnocchi was good too. Nice and relaxed up there.

The patatas bravas were really good, nicely spiced. Halloumi fries were thick and tasty, calamari was spot on. Solid tapas for a casual bite.

Been coming here for years, and the value&#39;s still there. You get a solid meal and a pint without that sting in your wallet. It&#39;s just reliable.

Stumbled upon this spot on a coastal walk. The latte was a decent size. What stood out was the freshness of the ingredients in my salad&mdash;the greens were crisp and the avocado perfectly ripe. It felt like a genuinely wholesome stop.

Came here on a whim and it was a nice find. The pizzas were lovely &ndash; really light and airy crust, and plenty of topping choices. I liked the QR code ordering, made it all very straightforward.

The old church building is such a cool space for a drink. Really unique spot.

Have not been in a few months but the changes to the restaurant are really good more open and feels much bigger. The food and service as always was fabulous I will not be waiting as long to visit again.

The lamb shank was the star for me - so tender it fell right off the bone. The rich gravy was perfect for dipping the mash. A really solid, comforting dish.

Been coming here for a couple of years now. The food&#39;s always solid. Once had a bit of a mix-up with the bill, but they sorted it out super quick and even threw in a couple of extra bits. Nice touch.

Fish and chips were solid. The batter was light and crispy, and the portion was good for the price.

Been coming here for years, it&#39;s my go-to for a quick bacon sarnie and a cuppa. The scones are proper homemade, still warm sometimes. Staff are sound, they remember your order. Prices are fair for the area.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. The portions were huge - my roast was piled high and the sides were generous too. Couldn&#39;t sit in the garden because of the wind, but the view over Richmond looked lovely. Left feeling very full.

Dog-friendly pub, which is a big plus for me. The whole place is spotless, even the loos. My spaniel was very happy with the water bowl they brought out.

the staff are genually willing to help your eating experience is above average.  More importantly the food is cooked to order on site by a enthusiastic Chef and presented beautifully.  Well worth a visit.

The crispy fish with that fruity curry sauce was a real find. Made for a lovely meal back at the cottage.
