Just ace. Best place in or around the area.

I’ve eaten here more than 20 times now, during the day, evenings and sometimes have a cheeky take away. Consistently excellent food, lovely staff and great atmosphere. My favourite place to eat. Highly recommend the smashed avocado with everything on it. The coffee and cakes are exceptional too.

We booked a table for 27th December for a Christmas family night out, minus the kids. We arrived on time, about 7.45. As soon as we sat down we were told by our slightly embarrased waitress that there was no steak, no burgers and no Rioja or Merlot available. We accepted our menus anyway, only to find that half the main course options was for either burgers or steaks, leaving us with roast dinners and a couple of fish dishes as our options. We picked up our coats and left, taking our custom to a high street chain instead. When we walked past Nossa later that evening, at about 9.30, the restaurant was in complete darkness. We had visited this venue before lockdown when it was called The Olive (I think). The food and service then was terrific, so it was a terrible shame to experience what we did last December under this new guise. Having booked our table several weeks before we visited, you'd think the kitchen would have been able to serve up a burger or a steak. The atmosphere in the restaurant felt non-existent too, so we will be booking elsewhere in future.

Fantastic food and staff and very clean

Amazing breakfast for the money

A lovely sunset from the car park to an absolutely amazing meal with great service! The staff are so friendly and attentive to make your visit the best experience possible. The food was ordered and with us in no time at all. We had a starter of mushrooms which were lovely! Then we had the lasagne and goujons for main which was one of the best lasagnes ever eaten! For pudding we had a sundae and treacle tart which were so so tasty. Could not fault one element of this meal and it’s priced reasonably too. Best food and best service we have had in a long long time! Only wish we lived locally as we’d be in here all the time!

Good food. Been going for many years. Always a warm welcome.

Had a full afternoon tea here and it was absolutely fantastic! So many delicious homemade savouries, quiche, sausage roll, vol au vents as well as delicious sandwiches with the freshest bread. Gorgeous scones and lots of scrummy cakes as well. Lovely friendly staff too. This is a real treat - Highly recommended.

Good local pub,good ales,nice atmosphere

Great coffee, nice cakes, good atmosphere

As the title says, Astounded!! Rang up to order a takeaway. Ordered a jacket potato with tuna mayo and cheese and salad. Collected it myself. £8.05 for a small jacket, a dessert spoon of tuna mayo, hardly any cheese, a very little salad... Just awful in every way... I won't be returning. I understand the business owner has to pay bills and staff, but if all the food is that bad quality and prices like that, customers will go elsewhere.
