Amazingly big portions. For ÂŁ8.98 I had a Cod and chips. Honestly it would have fed two people. The cod was huge, any other shop would have classed it as 'Large'. Even half of the small chips portion was too much for me. Amazing value.
By the way, their batter is great, crispy and golden.
Everything I saw being served whilst I waited were huge portions.
We ordered some sushi at the restaurant to take away. The lady repeated the order twice and it was all correct. She handed us a bag with sushi trays one of top of the other, so we left. When we got home and unpacked the sushi, we noticed some of it was missing, but we had been charged for it. Giving 1 star because we were charged for food we were not served.
This restaurant is perfect place to celebrate birthdays with lots of family . There is a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. We were super happy.

We had a great evening at The Brambletye hotel pub. Jeet made us feel very welcomed and the staff were very friendly too. As the evening went on lots of people came down to listen to the live music that we played with our band, Straker. A great venue for live music, it attracts people that love a great night out with extended drinking hours. Jeet was great to deal with when he booked us to play, his communications were excellent. The pub itself, was very well kept and clean and a great range of drinks. We âre looking forward to returning to play at The Brambletye hotel in July.
It's good to be popular, but
Almost had to sit outside. Looking rather down at heel. A problem of quantity of customers and your catchment area.
Still the Cortado was fine. Shared a table with a guy, his coat and little space. When I sat down all three chairs were empty, apart from said coat.
Only other downside, shared with the majority of coffee outlets, is there are never enough staff to clear / clean tables.

We ate in this restaurant twice during our two night stay.
On the first evening we were advised that the dishes we wanted on the menu were sold out. It was only 8pm so we were surprised by this. There were three mains off. The lamb, the beef and the chilli, which were our top three choices. We ended up ordering meals that werenât quite what we fancied. As we were waiting for our food, the Waitering staff sprayed down the tables around us and started setting up the room for breakfast. Again, at 8pm we were hardly eating late, and this created an unsettling âspritz, wipe, clang and clashâ around us, as marmalades were placed out, and cereals. It was very off putting and certainly put a stop on any specialness that could have been enjoyed in our evening.
The food that arrived was ok, not terrible, but not flavoursome either. I was concerned after the reviews Iâd read, but Iâd already paid through an âoff peak luxury dealâwhich bound us to the restaurant for both nights. The deserts again were ok. I had the sticky toffee pudding, which was factory made and microwaved. Considering the price and description of these offerings, you are left completely underwhelmed.
Our second night meant that the items we wanted to eat âwere back onâ however again, eating them did not quite live up to the 24 hour eager anticipation from the night before. The desert was described as a panacotta with rhubarb compote and ginger crumb. I got a ready made, gelatin heavy custard with a red top, that didnât taste of anything, with a biscuit that was stale, and broken in to quarters. I took a photo as I couldnât quite believe it.
We sat by the window which was nice, had it not been for looking at the paint peeling from the window posts. The old decaying window panes and the untidy and broken patio are outside.
This is not a luxury outing.
This is trying to be something that a cheap paint job and an untrained chef just canât achieve. My advice is to sell it as what it really is, lower your prices, and be honest about your offerings. Otherwise you are just going to have a constant flow of unsatisfied customers.
