Proper pub vibe, lovely landlady and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere with good tunes. The beer garden out back is a nice spot, especially on a sunny afternoon. Just what you want from a local.

Cozy spot. The lamb combo was cooked fresh in front of us and paired nicely with a robust red. Good value for the quality.

Stumbled upon this spot tucked away in a side street. The seating area is really spacious, which I appreciate. I noticed the ingredients in my salad were exceptionally fresh, crisp greens and ripe tomatoes. That made the meal for me.

Had the steak and kidney pie for lunch. The filling was rich and the pastry was just the right kind of flaky. Staff were really friendly, which made it a nice, relaxed meal.

The avocado was fresh and the halloumi was nicely grilled. A decent breakfast on the sourdough toast. A bit pricey for what it was, but a fine start to the day.

Staff were great at squeezing our group in last minute. Food was fine, service was efficient. Good for a quick business lunch near the office.

Managed to snag a table for lunch after coffee. The garlic bread was so good we ordered a second round! Staff were lovely.

Tried their Mexican night buffet. The spread was solid, tacos were fresh, and they kept things moving. Got a bit crowded later, but a decent change of pace.

Been coming here for years, and the homemade cakes are always spot on. Love the little side salad they serve with them - a nice touch. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back.

The Boodle Fight is a blast with friends. Eating with your hands off the banana leaves in the middle of the table was the best part. Just a really fun, messy way to share a meal.

Quick takeaway pizza, ready when we got there. The space itself is really nice though &ndash; high ceilings and those industrial-style lights. Makes waiting a minute feel a bit less like a takeaway spot.

First time trying the cauliflower steak here. It was actually really filling, and I liked that they had a few veggie options. The salad was nice too.

Alison was lovely, really apologetic about the wait. Cheese and onion toastie hit the spot. Could use more staff during lunch rush, but got my quick bite in the end.

Stumbled in late after an event. The English pub vibe with a Chinese twist was spot on. Staff were so kind, letting us stay past closing. The house red was a surprisingly good match for the late-night comfort food. They even checked we got off safely.

Steak was spot on medium rare, so tender. Our big group all liked their food. Thanks to the kitchen and the team for the welcome.

The staff were so lovely and attentive. I had a question about the ingredients in the salad dressing, and they checked with the kitchen right away. Really appreciated how they handled it.

Nice local pub, the owners are lovely. But I&#39;m a bit torn on the value. Had the fish and chips, it was &pound;16.50. Tasted fine, but the portion felt a bit on the small side for the price, you know?
