“Amazing food and excellent customer service. The restaurant is very popular, as you can guess from how busy it gets. Shame they don’t reserve tables but that doesn’t stop people from queuing up. Wait times are not too bad though. We were a group of 3 and waited for max 10 mins or so. Food is all freshly cooked and delicious. Special mention for Tommy, who does an excellent job.”

“I casually walked into this cosy restaurant near the bridge house, and I ordered the coronation chicken sandwich. It was absolutely delicious! The curry-flavoured chicken inside the ciabatta went so well with the sweet chutney. The homemade chips were really crispy and perfectly seasoned too. Highly recommend! 😋”
