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 rotating menu is a nice touch. I went for the fresh fish special and it was really good &ndash; simple but flavourful. Keeps you wanting to come back to see what&#39;s new.

The burgers are reliably good here, always fresh and hot. I&#39;m particularly fond of the Chicken Royal &ndash; it&#39;s consistently piping hot and has a lot more flavour than the one I&#39;ve tried at other places. A solid choice for a casual meal.

Great spot for a catch-up with mates! The vibe is super cosy, and it gets busy fast - we had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth it.

Popped in for a quick bite and the spicy chicken bao buns really hit the spot. Perfect with a cold lager. The vibe in there is always so chilled.

The food was so hot it almost burned my tongue. That&#39;s a good thing, though. A solid choice for a quick, no-fuss meal.

Tried the chicken sharer platter for the first time. The wings had so much flavour, and those tenders were juicy inside with a really crispy coating. Just a solid, tasty plate of food.

Had a big birthday bash here. The team handled the planning smoothly, which was a relief. The food was good, plenty for the crowd. Service was spot-on. They had a decent wine list, which helped the evening flow nicely.

Good value breakfast, portions are generous. Service was quick and friendly. Can get a bit loud when busy.

Great service for our big Christmas party. They even called ahead about a dessert change, which was really thoughtful.

David was so patient with us, even when it got really busy. He kept checking in, made sure we had everything. Just a nice guy who clearly cares.

The sarma beyti was the standout. Perfectly spiced minced lamb wrapped in that thin lavash.

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.

The host was genuinely warm and welcoming. Staff were attentive without being overbearing, which made for a pleasant visit.

Came here for a quick breakfast with a friend. The morning muffin combo is such good value! The space is really big and clean, perfect for a relaxed catch-up.

Popped in for the Desi breakfast. The halwa puri was the highlight &ndash; really tasty and filling. A good, solid meal to start the day.

First time trying their pumpkin pizza and wow, that sweet puree with the salty pancetta really hit the spot. The rosemary was a nice touch too. Crust was perfectly crunchy, just like their other pizzas. A solid new option.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The Oakham Citra was spot on, honestly the best pint I&rsquo;ve had in ages. Food was decent too. Just a solid place for a beer.

The owner was so warm and welcoming, really made the evening. The lamb shank was cooked perfectly, fell right off the bone.

The food was lovely, and the staff were very friendly. I particularly appreciated how comfortable the chairs were &ndash; made a real difference for a relaxed dinner. Good value, too.

Quiz night was a blast! The staff kept it moving, perfect for catching up with friends.

David was super attentive and checked in on us, which made the whole meal feel more relaxed. Mada was also really friendly. Great service for a catch-up with friends!

Been coming here for years, and the vibe on a Friday night is still just right. Luis at the bar always remembers my drink.

Came in for the Sunday roast, portion was huge. Had the beef, it was decent. Menu&#39;s pretty big, saw steaks and burgers too. Good for the price.

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 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.
