Wow!What a fantastic 80th Birthday celebration yesterday 15th March 2025.As visitors to Italy,Sicily and also Sardinia on several occasions,and various regions of all those places,I can safely say that this is the best authentic Italian food we have ever eaten outside of the three aforementioned countries.Well done! We will be back 🇮🇹❤️.

Very pleasing atmosphere on entry and a warm welcome was received from a staff member and showed us to our table. The service was great throughout and the food was impeccable. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Came here for a Sunday roast with my wife and the dog. Staff are on it and the food was excellent. Couldn't recommend this place enough

U need to try this place food amazing best so far and I eat curry every weekend!! This has to be best out there

Excellent pub for lunch (which is why I went). Obviously popular with groups and couples, but had no problem getting a table without booking. Some external works being carried out and soon to shut temporarily for inside to be done. It will be even better once everything is completed in March 2025

Management needs to have a face-lift on manners and attitude

This Punjabi restaurant has a very stylish, comfortable interior. The menu is not hugely extensive but the food is delicious! We really enjoyed our chicken with chillies and chicken with fenugreek. The accompaniments to the poppadoms were tasty too.

Fabulous sandwich, which we shared, also excellent quiche. We will go again ASAP! We want to try the rest of the menu, but also the garden centre had a really good selection of house plants

We went here for lunch and sat in the lovely garden, which is decorated with teacups lovely plants benches and white tables. Staff were friendly and the food was lovely we had the brunch bagel 🥯 and an ice coffee. Just be careful when digging into the bagel as the poached egg yolk went everywhere- but this is a sign of a great egg. Drinks were also lovely. Would defo go back. They also have a gorgeous private function room with music defo worth looking into.

food is good and all staff are lovely

Such a shame its last day after more than a decade is 30 August. Staff charming and we wished them well for their futures. Food was excellent value. Hopefully the College will see fit to continue to provide similar going forwards. Adieu

I visited today with my partner and mum. From the start I felt like an inconvenience, I didn’t get a chance to look at the food properly without a staff member kept asking what I want I was extremely overwhelmed felt very rushed into picking my food They slam down your tray and talk really fast so you have no idea what’s going on way too overwhelming and gives you a buzzer but no idea why. Food was cold but that wasn’t too much of an issue. Overall it caused a major meltdown

First visit for a while - was sent a voucher for a two mains for £20 deal so decided to go for late lunch staff were very accommodating and friendly a special thank you for Marketa who looked after our needs
