Lovely spot for a quiet brunch. The staff were really friendly, and the view over the bowling green is so peaceful.

Been coming here for years, and the staff are always so welcoming. They remember my usual order and always ask how my week&#39;s been. Makes it feel like a proper local spot.

Been coming here for years, always on a Sunday. The fish and chips are just as good as they were the first time. It&#39;s the one place I know won&#39;t let me down when I&#39;m craving that proper crispy batter. Staff are lovely too.

The carbonara portion was huge, I actually had enough for lunch the next day. The pasta itself was cooked just right, and the sauce was rich without being too heavy.

Their gluten-free fried batter is something else. I&#39;ve tried a few places, but this was the lightest and crispest I&#39;ve had. The rest of the meal was good too, but that batter really stood out.

Jodie was a great server, very patient and checked on us just the right amount. Made the meal nice and relaxed.

The giant pizza here is a real standout. Got the one with nduja and honey, the spicy-sweet combo was just right. It&#39;s a counter-service spot, so don&#39;t expect a full waiter experience, but for the price and that massive pie? Can&#39;t complain.

First time here, and it was a nice evening. The staff were friendly, service was prompt. The portions were generous and came out hot, which was good. Food presentation was decent, too.

The scrambled eggs were the standout. Creamy, not overcooked, with a good amount of butter. The texture was just right. I&#39;d say pre-ordering is a must if you want to try them, as they seem to run out quickly.

The rooftop view is the main draw here. Grabbed a pint and just sat for a while watching the town. Good spot to unwind.

Been coming here for years, the full English is spot on. Veggie option is just as good, proper portions. Staff are friendly, feels like a local place.

The cheese scone was a bit on the dense side, but still had a nice flavour. I&#39;m a sucker for their homemade cakes though - that brownie hit the spot. Such a bright, airy space to just chill with a coffee.

Lovely, cosy spot for a relaxed dinner. The decor is stylish but still feels welcoming, not stuffy at all.

Great spot for a catch-up with mates! The crispy noodles with prawns and pork were tasty, but a touch too salty for me. Still, the place is huge and never feels cramped, which is perfect for a group. Staff were really chill.

Laura was our waitress and she was brilliant. Really friendly and made the whole thing feel easy, even with a big group. The birthday cake they brought out was a nice touch. Service was definitely the highlight.

Thursday&#39;s Chick &#39;n&#39; Mix is my go-to now. The portion is huge for the price, and the crispy chicken bits are just the right kind of greasy. Magda remembered my usual order this week, which was a nice touch.

The crab tacos were so fresh, and the oysters were perfectly chilled. Really appreciate the quality of the seafood here.

Donna and her team were so welcoming. The fish was incredibly fresh, and that sea view table was a lovely touch.

Nice spot by the water. Walked in, they took my number and called when a table was ready. The grilled fish was good, really liked the homemade tartar sauce with it. Simple lunch, no fuss.

As a gluten-free diner, I was really pleased with the bread options here. The sourdough had a nice texture, and the roast beef sandwich was spot on. A solid find for anyone with dietary needs.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always buzzing, even on a Monday night. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back &ndash; you know exactly what you&#39;re getting. The team are on it, never leave you waiting. A proper local spot.

Kasey was really helpful. She took our dietary restrictions seriously and even sorted out a little something for our dog. Made the evening go smoothly. Service was fine throughout.

Solid village pub. Had the Sunday roast here, beef was cooked well and the portions were generous. Good spot for a quiet pint after work. The garden gets busy on sunny days, so service can be a bit slow then.

The staff were great, really friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. That kind of service is nice to see.

Proper pub feel, friendly crowd. Guinness was spot on, poured perfectly. Service was quick, didn&#39;t have to wait long at the bar. Just what you want for a casual pint.

The butter chicken was the star for me - rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Grabbed a seat by the window, which was a nice spot. For a buffet, the price felt fair.

Service was efficient and attentive, exactly what I needed for a business lunch. Staff were polite and gave us space to talk. Good for a quick, focused meal.

The staff were so lovely! They checked on us just enough, never felt rushed. Made our little catch-up with the girls feel really relaxed.

Made from scratch. Means a longer wait. But the freshness is there. You can taste it. Worth the extra time.

The bacon sandwich was really good - nice thick bacon and proper bread. The full breakfast was fine, hot and decent value.
