18/11/23: just a fantastic place! Chilled, relaxed vibe, great food, friendly staff! 10/11/23: love it here. Dog friendly. Awesome selection of craft ale/craft beer and cider. We had the Seacider raspberry ripple infused cider 4% and Bianca Road Brewery: Guava Polava session pale ale 4.5%. Great food!

Love, Love, Love this place! As an avid brunch reviewer, this was one of the better places I have been too! Minus points for the none runny egg though. DS

It's always great when a place exceeds your expectations. The food was better than we expected. The staff are really friendly and they coped with our 'awkward' dietary requirements with ease. Good beer selection as well. Comfy seating. Air conditioned. We will definitely be going again. Still a great place to eat. We have just had lunch there.

I recently hosted a corporate lunch for 35 people here and I can't speak highly enough of the team. From the moment I began to organise the event the service has been fantastic. Quick responses, helpful and very accommodating. On the day everything ran smoothly. The team were attentive, the food was constantly topped up and they made sure everyone was well looked after and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The buffet lunch was excellent and we received lots of compliments on the food. Thank you.

The food & service never disappoints I have added a few photos of the mini English breakfast the vegan option plus a few more. The poached eggs are always cooked to perfection. The quality of the meat in the Sunday lunch & the bacon is high quality. Please take into account some younger staff at the weekend are training. The main staff are excellent.

Food is Amazing, service is perfect and they provide a great selection of drinks. The best bit is you can bring your dog here. It just doesn’t get much better

Visited for food today as it is the start of the summer holidays, I have previously reviewed the fountain for drinks but wanted to update following today's trip. Firstly the menu is a very good size which doesn't have an overwhelming choice, there's well proportioned brunch, lunch, bar food and lite bites sections. I went for a vegetarian spiced falafel burger and my stepson chose the sweet chilli chicken burger. Service was super fast and the meals were well presented with a good amount of coleslaw and fries. The food was perfect, well cooked and the dressing / sauce on both burgers was amazing. Service was great with very friendly staff at all points from ordering to table service. The other meals being sent to other tables all looked amazing. Highly recommended if you're in the area and in need of decent bar food.
