I really appreciate the open kitchen setup. It&#39;s lovely to see the chefs preparing everything so calmly. You can tell they&#39;re focused on freshness, which is important to me. The whole vibe is just very clean and reassuring.

Stumbled upon this spot during a bike ride. The beer garden was a nice find on a sunny afternoon. They had decent gluten-free choices, which was helpful. A solid place for a casual drink and a bite.

The kebabs were so juicy and full of flavour. The seasoning was just right, not too heavy. It&rsquo;s a solid, reliable choice when you just want a good, satisfying meal.

Lovely spot for lunch outside when the sun&#39;s out. The patio is really pleasant, and they&#39;re fine with dogs. Food was decent, though the service was a bit slow.

The jackfruit curry was incredible - you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The staff were also very helpful with my dietary needs.

Service was prompt and efficient. Imogen was attentive without being intrusive. She handled a busy Friday night well, got our orders right, and the pacing was good. Solid experience.

The seafood linguine was spot on. Packed with flavour, even on a packed Saturday night. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Really enjoyed the tapas selection here. Ordered a bunch of things and they all came out together, which was great. The staff were lovely and friendly too.

The biscoff cheesecake was a real treat. The music was a bit loud, but the atmosphere was pretty good.

The wine list is solid, plenty of choices by the glass. Had a glass of the house red with the steak, worked well together.

XL peri peri coriander pizza is massive. Seriously, it&#39;s huge. Could easily feed three of us. Service was quick, staff were sound. Good for a casual bite.

Our server was so lovely and really knew her stuff! The veggie starters were perfect for sharing with the group. The mains were stunning, and that custard dessert was just incredible. A really nice spot for a catch-up.

The mixed grill platter is the thing here. The lamb chops were juicy and had a good char, and the adana kebab was properly spiced. Everything on that plate tasted like it came straight off the grill. The chicken shish was a bit dry though.

The lamb biryani here is incredible - so fragrant and tender. Saturdays do get packed, so definitely book a table. The BYOB policy is a nice bonus, made for a relaxed evening with friends.

The lamb curry was so good, we ended up ordering a second round for the table! Staff were really friendly and the vibe was perfect for a casual catch-up. Portions are generous for the price.

The platter for four is solid value. Plenty of hot and cold meze, generous meat selection, and dessert included. Portions are large.

Quick lunch at the carvery. Good value, decent food. Staff were friendly, which is nice when you&#39;re in a rush. Got my plate sorted fast. Solid option for a quick bite.

The staff were so kind when I asked about a custom sandwich. They used fresh avocado and whole grain bread for me, which was exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciated them taking the time to make it just right.

The garden seating is really comfortable. Their homemade chilli oil is delicious, but it&rsquo;s definitely spicy!

First time ordering takeaway from here. The curry was fantastic, really rich flavour. One of the best I&#39;ve had in a long time. Service was spot on, too. Will definitely be ordering again.

Came with a big group of 20. The service was smooth, no fuss at all. They managed to get all our plates out hot, which was impressive for a full table.

Been coming here for years and the pizza&#39;s always spot on. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Grabbed a quick lunch with mates, got a window seat straight away. The view was decent while we tucked into our burgers. Solid spot for a casual bite.

Been coming here for years, and the garden view of the cathedral is still the main draw for me. It&rsquo;s just a reliably peaceful spot to unwind with a drink.

Chloe was lovely, very attentive. The lunch was good, and the place is bright and modern. For what you pay, the portions are decent. I&#39;d say it&#39;s fairly priced for the area.

Been coming here for years. The pub dinners are always generous, never feel like you&#39;re getting short-changed. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Popped in before a show, no reservation needed. The pie was hot and tasty, and the vibe was perfect for a quick catch-up with friends.

The staff were great with the kids, and the wine list had some nice options for the grown-ups. A solid spot for a family meal.
