"I 've been here many times when my boat is moored in the area. I was looking forward to having a quiet lunch in a dog friendly place on a very hot day. The woman who served me I recognised as she had been my server many times before. The thing that struck me is despite saying I 've been here often I 'm always treated like a stranger I think a great to have you back goes a long way. The place was very quiet in terms of customers but it was so noisy ! Not their fault that building work was next door which made sitting outside unbearable , but when I struggled to bring my 3 dogs and food inside there was no offer to help. It was also very noisy inside and there was a big box of rubbish in front of the ladies loo that just seemed to sit there with no purpose, I finally asked if they could move the rubbish so I could use the loo and the woman seemed put out. My dirty plate sat around too long and the staff didn 't ask if I enjoyed my meal or if I wanted anything else. So considering how empty it was I felt my presence was a nuisance. My dogs were well behaved and when I asked for a water bowl I had to share with another dog then when a third dog came along they took my bowl away. I think they need more dog bowls if they really are to be dog friendly . One bowl to be shared amongst the whole restaurant seems cruel. In short I felt like they don 't value their daytime customers and just save their energy for the evening which is always packed therefor I think they shouldn 't bother opening for lunch except at weekends. I wanted to offer some hopefully constructive criticism personally but there was no one to say anything to hence why I am writing my feedback here"

"I had not visited Roxy's Bistro since the Covid-19 lockdown. I went with a lifelong friend on a whim around midday with the intention of having a drink. We were excited to see Roxy and she visited our table and offered us the menu. We ordered drinks and the menu sparked our appetite. We ended up selecting items for a hearty late English breakfast which was always delicious and filling without being greasy. The locally produced sausages were particularly tasty. My friend noticed Roxy coming out of the kitchen with a plate of fish and chips, which he decided to try since it was priced at £8, similar to the breakfast items he had ordered. We placed our order for fish and chips as Roxy returned with our drinks. The fish and chips came out in a separate batch. My friend was not exaggerating about the size of the fish. The golden battered fish stretched practically the length of the plate and was thicker than anything I had seen from a fish and chip shop. It was served on a bed of homemade chips with a side of mushy peas and tartar sauce. The taste matched the presentation and we left feeling very satisfied. I highly recommend Roxy's for their high standards of quality meals, competitive prices, impeccable service, and 5-star hygiene rating. I am strongly considering renting Roxy's Bistro for a private birthday party to celebrate my retirement, and I am leaning towards having a buffet so that my friends can mingle and socialize. It would be a great experience to be served by the owner herself."
