"Having dined at restaurants both in the UK and abroad, I can confidently say that this small cafe serves the best breakfast I have ever had. The quality of the food is outstanding, and it is cooked and presented exceptionally well. The staff are all fantastic and incredibly helpful. Despite its unassuming appearance, the food is far superior to what you would expect from a typical cafe. In addition to the delicious breakfast options, they also offer a tasty baked potato with tuna and cheese, as well as a delightful hot chocolate with cream and a fantastic caramel latte. The prices are reasonable, making it well worth a visit. I highly recommend checking this place out."

"Travelling back from a weekend in Southport, thought we would stop off for a coffee Lovely setting at side of reservoir Place looked closed as it was so dark, my friends husband went to see if it was open, yes it was, we sat inside, there are tables outside There was one person serving, didn’t appear to interested as was on her phone all the time we were there except when taking orders at counter Friends hubby went to counter to order coffees, no cakes available, he wanted a toasted fruit tea cake, told there were none, so ordered spring rolls, The server brought drinks to table, not wearing a mask, then came back to table 10 mins later again no face mask) to say delay on spring rolls, half hour later we had finished our drinks, spring rolls ended up as take away, my car smelled of grease There was only the 3 of us in the place until a group of walkers came in, sat at table at side of us dragging extra chairs from other tables, no social distancing rules followed, server did not ask them to move to a table further in, my friend and her hubby had to literally squeeze past them when we came to leave This place to me was un inviting, unfriendly and lacked the following of COVID guidelines I personally will Not visit here again"

"Really nice restaurant great atmosphere great staff such a shame about the food , we were expecting typical Greek food with great taste but what we got was OK at best borderline bland.I had the meatball in tomato sauce to start the meat balls were tasteless and the sauce just bland rather like a plain tomato purée really not the highly seasoned tasty traditional Greek style food I was hoping for, for mains I went for the tarragon chicken unfortunately again just really bland and lacking any real taste or depth. My wife had a similar experience with her fish cake starter and chicken souvlaki nothing like what we have experienced in many a Greek tavern on our many island holidays. Added to the bland food we had to move tables mid meal due to a booking mixup (not so much as a complimentary drink by way of an apology) In summary really disappointed nothing like an authentic Greek food we could have literally been in any English restaurant. Definitely not one for a return visit and this is a shame as the restaurant and atmosphere were great."

"Well, we had a strange experience. Firstly our starters came out with the waiters hair in the food, unsure if this was from his head top or copious arm hair. Secondly, when our mains came out, two of five meals were wrong and had to wait for the chefs to cook new meals. Even after clarification twice, the meals were still wrong! Thirdly in the time it took for the replacement order came out, the owner had made one of our party very uncomfortable by invading her personal space insufferably! He then insisted SHE had a large glass of complimentary wine, and begrudgingly offered a small glass to everyone else, other than the one person who received the wrong order and was still waiting for his food! All in all, the meal was late and the owner made us uncomfortable when he wasn't, bumping into other tables, drinking wine behind the bar, or correcting our Italian. If were hungry travellers, on the brink of starvation, an inch from death, crawling on **** stumps, WE WOULD CRAWL ONWARDS! Wouldn't recommend..."

"We called after a long walk around Castleton just as a treat, and we weren’t let down! The staff were really nice chatty, answering any questions about their cakes, as that was what we wanted. Two of the party had cream teas, which they said were delicious, while I had a huge slice of lemon blueberry cake, also excellent, and the last had coffee and walnut cake. Also very good. We all had hot drinks and the bill came to £29."

"I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The booking process was simple, just a quick phone call is all it takes. Online reservations are not available. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, couples, and singles alike. The staff was attentive and friendly. The portions were generous and the flavors were exquisite. I highly recommend this place!"

"We booked a two-night bed and breakfast stay at the Sycamore Inn. At first glance from the outside, it seemed like the inn could use some maintenance. However, once we stepped inside, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the interior was beautifully decorated. Our room was spacious with a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, and all the necessary amenities like tea and coffee facilities, a hairdryer, and a TV. The room was clean and cozy. The breakfast options were plentiful and of good quality, including fruits, cereals, juices, toast, and a full English breakfast. There was also an abundance of tea and coffee available. We had booked dinner for both nights in advance and were not disappointed. The dinner menu was diverse and the meals were excellently cooked and well-presented. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Special thanks to Letishia for her outstanding service as front of house, and to Nicolas for accommodating our requests. Thank you for a superb experience!"

"we wanted somewhere for a light bite at lunch on a weekend stay in buxton. there was a waiting queue every time we came by and after we saw that most of the places were busy, we decided to just come to the waiting queue and wait. fortunately, the initial greeting and sitting was quite fast for us and we got a comfortable sofa that we were grateful for one there. the food and the drinks were nice when we got them, but the efficiency/organization of sharing the service seemed just a little to leave. customers often waited at the door or tried to pay without confirmation. not sure if the day was unusually busy, but some workers did not seem excessively happy/friendly, which made us a little unwilling."

"Just been for a meal while on holiday here. Fabulous! We've never tried a Texmex restaurant before. Hubby had steak tacos, son had buttermilk chicken tacos, and I had steak strips, tiger prawns with salad and mini wedges. Very generous portions, and delicious. The three meals and two pints came to less than £60, which I thought was reasonable. The service was good. The restaurant is on a first floor, with a few stairs to climb. I think it could be a problem for the less able bodied. They do a takeaway option, but it isn't an extensive menu that I can see."

"This fantastic restaurant in the center is a hidden gem. We had the pleasure of dining there three times over the weekend, enjoying delicious late lunches twice and a delightful breakfast. The food is exceptional, and the staff are all wonderful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and boasts a lovely outdoor seating area."

"Have eaten there several lunchtimes now.Food is always freshly cooked and the menu is reassuringly small.Daily specials are always interesting and often quite unusual.It 's also remarkably good value for money.Both the owner/chef and those serving are friendly and helpful.It is a far better place to eat than the many out of the freezer into the microwave places which seem to be everywhere."

"that eat is fabulous, the cherry and spinat curry with rice yum. the special pita is very good together with the beautiful curly pommes. the sticky toffee pudding with chocolate ice cream was so good, even my partner loves it and he doesn't like desserts. the spicy hot dog role was interesting, looked like a long spring role! eating is really so much better than the pub, it is so out of place in this pub where it is constantly cold, the place is not very welcoming, even if the employees were nice. the place was quite empty next to table with loud old young drinking and playing dominos. That was good, of course. the food belongs in a restaurant, or a better care for pub. updated by the previous review on 2022-02-07"

"Absolutely disgraceful experience. Table booked two weeks prior and rang up the day before to double check booking and told all was good. We turned up and non of the staff knew about our booking, gave the name and we were told there wasn’t a table. We told them we had booked two weeks prior and had even rang a few days ago to double check due to the busy Christmas period and explained the table was booked for us. Terrible management of staff and dining, terrible organisation, nothing was done to remedy the situation and we took our service elsewhere. Thoroughly disappointed because this place had been recommended to us"

"This was a great local pub with decent beer and happy staff but things change. Its still OK with a decent selection of beer (try the jaipur but don't drive after) but it's definitly dead midweek, despite the great weather. On our recent visit with two friends we were the only people there at around 7:30 and by 9:30 when we left there were two people in the pub. Probably a sign of the times Things are looking up. Called for a quiet pint late Friday afternoon and found the pub much busier than previous visit, not packed but generally busy. Beer selection remains good but no food Rumour has it that the food was good but the pub doesnt appear to serve food anymore. The great Indian restaurant above the pub with beer from the pub remains and is worth a visit. Called on a Saturday night to pick up a curry from queen spice restaurant, above the pub. We were there about an hour and initially the pub was very busy, probably due to the sport on TV, but got quieter as we left, still plenty of people though. Still no food being served, but the beer remains very good"

"I just read the ups and downs of previous reviews and thought I should add details of our family’s enjoyment of our meal last night. Starters: We all really enjoyed the food being fresh and tasty and not having a heavy oil slopping around. The following are the positive comments made while we ate. Sheekh kebabs excellent flavour. Onion Bhajis best ever. Prawn Puri, very nice from all of us. Pakoras, really enjoyed. Chicken Chat, requested spicy, very nice. Garlic Naans double garlic) excellent. Nice quality meat throughout. Very moreish aroma as we walked towards the take away. We appreciated being greeted as we walked in. Cost very reasonable bearing in mind the superb quality and the quantity, generous. Mains: Son in law said one of the best curries ever. Grandson older said he really, really, really liked it he doesn’t normally particularly like curry). Wife said she especially enjoyed her Tandoori Chicken with Samba Sauce. I thought my Chicken Jalfrezi was as good as it gets. Grandson younger said he really liked his Chicken Tikka with Sag spinach). Daughter really liked the Chicken Korma, wonderful blended with Tikka Sag sauce and Garlic Naan. The veg pilau rice was spot on. General Note: The chef catered for all our special instructions, everything nicely spiced and full of flavour. Well done, and thank you. Keep up the high standard."

"Great friendly place, book for table of 18. Food served quickly, was piping hot and tasty. Had a vegan and vegetarian so they made a couple extra dishes of Wellington and stew, as the set menu was 50% meat. All the food I tried was lovely and the staff very helpful. Would recommend. Vegetarian options: As the set menu had 50% meat, they made us a couple of extra dishes to compensate. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend Vegetarian offerings: Vegetarian menu or section"

"The staff at this restaurant were very accommodating, providing me with a table despite having two large parties. I ordered the garlic and mozzarella cheese ciabatta as well as the classic paella. The bread was fresh and soft with a crispy outer layer. The paella was served on a hot plate, allowing the juices to caramelize and create a flavorful crisp on the bottom of the dish. The mussels were tender, and the prawns and meat were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the modern tropical decor and the warm yellow lighting. I would definitely return to this restaurant in the future."
