Great for families with kids. The staff were really patient with my fussy little one, even offered to make a plain pasta dish off-menu. The vibe is lively, a bit noisy for a quiet dinner, but perfect for us.

Came here on a whim and Vicki was so lovely. She recommended the truffle arancini as a starter and it was spot on - crispy outside, really creamy inside. A nice little find.

Cosy spot, dog-friendly which is nice. The food&#39;s always fresh and comes out quick. But that spiral staircase down to the lower seating? A bit steep for my liking, had to be careful going down. Good for a casual bite though.

Love the cosy booths here, gives you a bit of privacy. The decor is spotless and feels very traditional. Staff are professional, but the service felt a little slow on a weekday afternoon. Still, a nice spot for a quiet coffee.

A local tipped me off about this pub. Staff were really friendly. The outdoor area looks like it&rsquo;ll be great in summer.

First time here, the flatbreads and calamari were spot on. The owner even made some garlic mayo for us on request, really nice touch.

Came for the fish but honestly, the chips stole the show. They&#39;re chunky, perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Just like my gran used to make. That&#39;s the real deal.

Cosy little spot tucked inside the old market hall. Perfect for a rainy day like today. Had the fish and chips, decent portion and the chips were proper crispy. Bit pricey for what it is, but the vibe is nice.

The view from here is stunning, you can see right across the bay and the harbour. It&rsquo;s a pretty grand old building too, part of the spa. A really nice spot for dinner.

Staff were super friendly, made me feel right at home as soon as I walked in. Just a really nice, warm welcome that set a good mood for the meal.

The cheesy chips were great, and the honeycomb tiffin slice was a treat. The house red was a surprisingly good match for the whole meal.

The Oreo milkshake was solid. Good option for a quick drink near the office. You can add extra toppings, which is a nice feature. A bit on the sweet side for my taste, but it hit the spot.

Been coming here for years, always solid. The crab chowder&#39;s the one to get - proper flavour, not too thick. Had it last week, still hits the spot. Coffee&#39;s decent too.

A dog-friendly spot with good coffee and free WiFi. Staff were really welcoming. Panini looked great, tasted fine. Not a bad place to hang out with the pup for a bit.

The gluten-free fish and chips were cooked fresh. As a coeliac, it&#39;s so nice to have a safe option that actually tastes good.

Been here a few times. The staff really know their stuff, explained the dishes well. Had the roast duck and a couple dim sum, all looked great and tasted spot on. Good Cantonese spot.

Service was lovely even though we arrived just before closing. The team was so kind, didn&rsquo;t rush us at all. Really appreciated that.

The vegan carrot cake was so good, and they had oat milk for my latte. Perfect spot to catch up with a friend.

The food here is so fresh. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. I had the grilled sea bass and the greens were crisp and vibrant. A lovely, simple lunch. The service was attentive, too.

The batter on the fish is the best part. Really light and crispy, not greasy at all. The fish itself was still nice and moist inside. Just a solid, simple fish and chips.

We were quoted an hour wait on a busy evening, but our table was ready in about 45 minutes. The staff were really friendly and kept us updated, which was appreciated.

The crispy beef noodles were really nice. They pack the fried noodles and the saucy beef in separate containers, which is a thoughtful touch. It kept the noodles from getting soggy on the way home. The beef itself was tender and the sauce had a good depth of flavour.

Service was really on point. We dined in and everything ran smoothly, staff were attentive without hovering. Even noticed they handled a takeaway order just as well. Food was good, but the service stood out.

The mixed grill for two was a solid choice. Plenty of food, cooked fresh. Flavour was good. Couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good value for the portion size.

The beer selection here is a proper treat. I loved the Peasholm Pale, really crisp and refreshing. Their Irish Cream Porter was a nice surprise too &ndash; smooth with a hint of chocolate. Spent a happy hour just working my way through the taps.

They had a little bowl of water and some dog biscuits ready. My dog was happy with the treats, seemed like good quality. That&#39;s about all I noticed.

Latte was on point. Had the carrot cake too, decent slice. Good spot when you just need that coffee and cake fix.

Our server really knew his wines and helped us navigate the menu with our allergies.

The fish was fresh, batter nice and crisp. But honestly, the portion felt a bit small for the price. Sat by the beach though, lovely view.
