Very happy to see the reopening of this great place! I work locally and my colleagues and I now use CKW regularly for meetings and for winding down drinks and snacks in the courtyard after work. Andrea is always ready to assist with a smile and make you feel welcome. Food is always very good and the menu is reasonably priced. Give it a try if you’re in the area, can’t think you’d be disappointed.

Really enjoyable night where we cooked in 4 teams to create 4 courses. Staff were brilliant in explaining and hospitality. Had a really good evening and enjoyed the food we cooked. Thoroughly recommend this as a company team building event.

We decided to give this place a try at the end of our first evening of two in town. A reasonable range of ales on offer (plus a novel ‘self service’ facility) in a clean modern space - certainly worth a try.

This quaint café inside a church is a true hidden gem! The atmosphere is peaceful and unique, making it the perfect spot to relax. A special shoutout to Robyn, who was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful—she truly went above and beyond to make our day even better. Such a lovely experience with great service in a one-of-a-kind setting. Highly recommend checking it out!

Nicholson's pub. Tucked away but worth a visit.

We were looking forward to our dinner, not having been here before. We wanted to start with a glass of Prosecco but it is not served here and the only option for a glass of sparkling started at £19 per glass. Our main dishes of mac n cheese and burger were nothing special. The service was disappointing e.g a wait for the chips to be served with the burger, we had to ask for our wine to be served and long wait for desserts. One of the male staff members came across as quite arrogant and his manner felt uncomfortable. We won’t be returning.

A really grim and mean lunch today. Very poor indeed. A ludicrously parsimonious prawn cocktail followed by dry turkey with truly foul potatoes and stuffing balls. Absolute waste of a lunch opportunity.

Hack & Hop has been one of the frequent after work watering holes however it has gone downhill over the last few years. It has a nice upstairs area that can be booked for small private events. Food: The menu has become a lot more limited and my favourite pork belly is no longer an option. Drink: Like the food, the Hack & Hop used to have a drinks board with a range of different craft beers on tap. Nowadays the selection is much more limited with the same beers that are at all the other nearby pubs. Service: Generally good although can be hit and miss depending on how busy it is. Price: Hack & Hop has always been slightly more expensive than other nearby pubs. This used to be compensated for the different selection of beers on tap but is now a slightly overpriced version of any other pub. Conclusion: Still a good solid pub and a great place to get a pint. It is slightly pricier than other nearby pubs but it is also a bit quieter which can make for a more enjoyable experience.

Kom tilfældigvis forbi en tirsdag formiddag. Kaffetørstige. Den tørst blev slukket af den bedste kop kaffe, vi har fået i London. Tillige en super god betjening i en skøn atmosfære. Tak for kaffe.

We swerved hotel breakfast and opted to visit this traditional looking Italian cafe, what a fantastic find! The food on display for the lunch crowd looked fresh and appealing however we opted to have the cooked breakfast as it was before 10am. Fresh, great tasting coffee, choice of bread for toast and then a generous serving of breakfast with the most amazing Italian sausages too. This was a filling meal and was great value, cooked to order and with friendly service. The cafe is COVID compliant and felt well looked after. I will definitely go back when I am in the area again. My teenage daughter really enjoyed her breakfast too.

always a treat to go in this place. love it. staffs are very attentive and service is excellent. recommended.

Company Christmas Lunch was great, service and food real good. Loved the Spinach drenched in cheese side dish. The apple crumble was fantastic as the Brisk Steak. Fun and nice atmosphere.

Lugar genial - un ambiente tan relajado en el patio con magníficas esculturas y obras de arte. Personal amable y servicial, estoy seguro de que cualquier bodas aquí sería espectacular.

Me complació mucho tener la oportunidad de visitar el recién renovado Butchers Hall para experimentar su asado a la hora del almuerzo. Como era de esperar, lo más destacado de la comida es un asado de carne asada, precedido de sopa y seguido de una selección de postres o quesos. En general, un gran almuerzo, excelentes vinos servidos por personal profesional en un maravilloso comedor, perfecto. PD: recomendaría tomarse la tarde libre para recuperarse de sus excesivas indulgencias

We visited the Golden Fleece for a Friday afternoon Christmas lunch for 19 of us and it was great. The downstairs area with its own bar was just right for us. Emma's service was excellent and we all enjoyed the 3 course Christmas menu. It's a great pub for just a drink too, right in the heart of the City with a relatively fair bit of space out the front to drink outside.
