17/09/2026: Lebanese food at its finest!!! Fantastic service, delicious food, reasonable pricing and superb location.

15/09/2026: Delicious dinner. We particularly loved the prawns, sweet potato (amazing vegetarian option) and the whole fish. Great flavours. Strongly recommend.

09/10/2026: Thank you for making room for us so quickly! The pies, rolls, and pastries are excellent!

08/10/2026: Super charming cafe next to a staircase with art and lovely seating by the river!

25/10/2026: I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the absolutely outstanding service we received from Matthias. What an exceptional young man! From start to finish, his service was nothing short of impeccable. His professionalism, warmth, attentiveness and genuinely lovely manner made our experience all the more enjoyable. Matthias has that rare ability to make guests feel truly welcomed, valued and special, delivering the highest standard of service with such effortless charm and grace. He is an absolute credit to your establishment, and I sincerely hope his dedication and exceptional customer service are recognised and appreciated. (The BoneyM Group)

22/10/2026: The most exquisite fish and chips, fresh succulent oysters were bested only by the warm and welcoming staff. We were in the capable hands of the joyous and attentive Donna.

09/09/2026: We had an amazing time. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The bar was really clean and very comfortable.

25/08/2026: Lots of screens for the football, sat at the bar, service was friendly, pints were brilliant, nice and spacious place with a good view of all the TVs. Left to my own devices watching the early kick-off. Not as cosy as your traditional pubs, quite well polished, still got that sort of sports bar / pub / walkabout vibe to it, food looked good too. Could easily whittle away an afternoon here.

23/10/2026: This was my second visit, and once again, I can say it’s an excellent restaurant. On my first visit, I had the spicy monkfish—it was perfectly cooked, well-presented, and tasted very fresh with no off flavors. The service was impeccable: prompt and friendly. Despite how busy it was, I easily got a seat and was served right away. I also tried their beer flight, which features three different selections from the nearby brewery. ​On my second visit, I had the hake with aubergine, peppers, and roasted potatoes, paired with a pint of Angel Stout. I decided to indulge in dessert and went with the honeycomb chocolate brownie with salted caramel and vanilla ice cream. Since the restaurant was full, I was seated at the bar counter, but it was still a great experience with wonderfully friendly staff!

20/10/2026: Nice restaurant offering a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options, everything is very good, good value for money!

23/10/2026: The food was absolutely disgusting, the whole place very dirty, especially the restrooms. It's such a shame, cause it's one of Rory's spots, but these guys don't respect anything... Nothing.... Very disappointed.......
