"Amazing place, can’t wait to get back and have some more! Highlighted dishes teriyaki seitan and the jackfruit. Staff were on point for being its first weekend and evening opening, great selection of soft drinks and local roasted coffee and Suki teas Best of luck for the future and I’m sure I’ll be back sooner rather than later! (We also had 2 carnis with us, and the seitan was the best meat they have had)"

"This restaurant has a modern British pub atmosphere. It is spacious yet cozy and offers a wide variety of drinks. The food is also quite good, especially the Fish & Chips and Pork Roast. However, we found the smoked haddock and clam chowder to be a bit too salty for our liking. The overall vibe of the place is great and we had a wonderful time chatting late into the night. Prices range from £20 to £30 per person. We give the food and service a rating of 4 out of 5, and the atmosphere a 5 out of 5. We recommend trying the Sunday Roast when dining here."

"The hospitality was second to none, loveley staff, they knew how to treat there customers unlike the ungreatful miserable git at the Crown and Anchor. Thankyou very much for the complimentary drinks too. The Kimberley Inn managed to make our stay at the down trodden Crown and Anchor bearable. Thankyou Kimberley Inn, keep up the good work."

"We had seen some FB reviews recommending this little pub in Debden Purlieu/Hythe up a no through lane and overlooking a wooded area) There was parking on a slope and a group of wild birds on the grass. A small outside area had bench...tables. It has been u dear new ownership since last March and there was evidence of refurbishment in the bar and dining room still got the toilet area to do) The waitress was welcoming and pro active, the landlord was overseeing the locals in the bar area which had a Sports t v . Roast lunches £10, are served between 12.30 and 3 and we had a choice of beef, lamb shank and pork, with a huge Yorkshire and veg. About a dozen people were eating. We ordered desserts rhubarb crumble and berry meringue , under £5 too There is a landlord’s quiz on Sunday nights from 7 pm which we were interested in though no food is available at the moment. The lunches were possibly too generous and tasty although the beef slices were too well done and thick for me and the gravy could be thicker There is free WiFi and a cosy ambiance so we will return."

"Spent in the afternoon in Leeds and had heard from this place, it won a Good Food Award this year. I booked a table and we ordered a chicken carving, that was one of the daily specials and a veggie burger, we split a Polish apple cake with ice cream. I was lucky to have cooked a great house Polish food, but that was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and had so much taste, the attention to detail was top, it was more like restaurant quality food. The Veggieburger must be the best I tasted, and the chicken was also hearty and tasteful. The way they eat there with flowers or the drizzle on the dessert looked great There are many parking spaces on the streets nearby and it is not too far from the center or the highway by car. Prices reflect the quality and presentation of food. The restaurant is beautiful and there is a relaxed atmosphere here. I would book in advance if the guests left, another reservation came and that was Saturday noon. Thanks to Monika our waitress for the advice and attentive service and Luke for creating these wonderful meals. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this amazing small restaurant for all"

"I have dined at the King's Head for over 40 years on many special occasions. And oftentimes, just because I want to enjoy a decent meal out in a restaurant that delivers exceptional food so hard to find outside London. The Aylesbury Duck for two...is a must but should be requested when booking to avoid disappointment. Georges de Maison and his team do an outstanding job and have adapted the restaurant and menu to accommodate changing times and tastes. The King's Head is about quintessential fine dining, and my only surprise is that not all guests dress for the occasion these days. This is a pity as turning up in jeans and a t-shirt at such a wonderful venue would only make one feel out of place! If you have not visited, I would recommend the King's Head restaurant most highly."

"We visit Fowey 2 to 3 times a year, usually for 3 weeks at a time and Haveners or always our first and last port of call. This last trip, which spanned late September to mid October, was no exception, but aside from the many drinks consumed in the lovely bar, we also had several gorgeous meals (two lunches and a few dinners) every single one was delicious and beautifully presented. The food has always been good, but this time it was excellent, and why we kept coming back for more! As for the bar and restaurant overall, the ambience is perfect, the views lovely (even after dark, it's quite magical) and the staff are warm and friendly but also extremely professional. We're back in December and already booked in for our first meal. No doubt it won't be our last!"

"Came here for my boyfriends birthday with our friends. Staff were fantastic, atmosphere was awesome great music choice! Food was reasonably priced, great quality, freshly homemade and very yummy! Highly recommend the whiskey river sauce! Also very thorough with allergy concerns mentioned I couldn’t have onion and the staff were quick to check whether it was an intolerance or allergy and were really helpful with the changes that could be made to the order. Thanks Moose Kitchen for a fabulous evening! We will be back!"

"What can I say? My partner and I were craving crabs, so we decided to escape London for an afternoon by the sea in search of a restaurant where we could enjoy the fresh air. We stumbled upon this charming, unpretentious gem, and while my partner indulged in some delicious fish and chips, I started with crab and followed it up with dressed crab as another starter. Our meal was served by a very friendly gentleman who informed us that they plan to have a crab hard drive (which I absolutely love) soon. Will we return? Absolutely! In fact, we could easily stay the weekend since they also have rooms upstairs and are perfectly located across from the sea in the old town. The cherry on top was the bill—very reasonable! What’s not to love?"

"Came here for a bite to eat on a sunny day. I feel missed about this place, when it comes to eat and drink anyway… I had one of their frozen margaritas but I literally couldn’t taste any alcohol and for £8.50.. it’s not worth it. I ordered a vegan fish and chips and then just felt so sick after. While it looks great, the jackfruit fish was extremely oily and then with the over salty chips, it wasn’t a good combo at all. My partner on the other Hand had wings and Caesar salad and loved it! The portions are huge, which is great. I would provide my give this place a second chance and try something else but the fish and chips were a no go for me. Another thing to note is that the toilets in this place really really aren’t great. I know the tempest turns into a night club sometimes but when you’re here for a bite to eat and you take yourself off to the loo and realise how unsanitary they are… It does put you off your food…"

"When I first reviewed this cafe it was a successful quirky place full of curios and interesting paintings available to buy, the food was simple tasty and cost effective and their bacon sandwiches and soups were the best. The problem with it now, apart from the nosey gossippy Hyacinth Bucket woman that inhabits it, is that the owner of the building insists on displaying a god-awful range of interior designs for wallpaper that no one wants. The materials and designs are all outdated and can 't even be called bespoke or cater to a market for replenishing old designs, and the owner shoves them all over the place trying to perpetuate a business that has no demand, to the complete detriment of the cafe business. If you rent out your shop space to a cafe, surely they should have the whole space rather than a little space that 's encroached upon by the remnants of your business, which affects the personality of the cafe??? It was much better when it was Fat Cats, now Will has left and it 's called something else, and the woman that lurks there is nothing more than a nosey old cow interrupting your relax time with inappropriate enquiries and talking loudly about other people 's business to the people that visit her. I hope someone new takes it over and that the owner realises that his wallpaper samples aren 't required. By anyone, ever."

"At only 2.75 pounds, you can't go wrong. It feels like a throwback to the 90s when you could buy a pint for that price. I spent 2.75 pounds on a chocolate croissant in Bushy Park, only for my daughter to feed it to the ducks. I should have saved my money and gone to Croydon for a pint instead. Even if my daughter got less in that pub than she did feeding the ducks with my 2.75 pound chocolate croissant, at least I would have a pint."

"A standard chain hotel restaurant. Food was fine, but very limited selections of different dishes,. The wine list was extremely limited only one producer from Argentina 2 whites and 3 or 4 reds. The wine we tasted was OK, but very mainstream and not very interesting. Very helpful and accomodating staff. A decent meal for a travelling salesman and nothing beyond that seems to be the ambition."

"The Dog Bull has seen several styles of cuisine come and go over the last five or six years- burgers, steaks, pizza, Caribbean, and others. They have a new chef at the stoves now, who started last week, and I popped in with a couple of friends to try the new fare. The menu is far more interesting than it had previously been and it appears obvious that the pub is stepping up to compete with local rivals in the culinary stakes. This can only be a good thing, as central Croydon certainly needs more places where you can sit down for a good quality meal; the town centre establishments, with one or two notable exceptions, tend to offer either standard pub grub or takeaways only. Standard pub grub this most certainly isn’t. Amongst our starters, the lamb belly “chips” (essentially, lamb fish fingers) and clam chowder certainly hit the right notes but it was the potted shrimps that really stood out; I’ve had vastly inferior versions in expensive restaurants up in central London and these shrimps were so good that I could have had a second serving there and then. The mains were all delicious too; two of us chose the confit duck leg, which was beautifully succulent, and another had the chicken and tarragon pie, which he declared a resounding success. My goat curry (from the daily specials) was exemplary- in fact, almost as good as my own! There’s a decent selection of wines, both by the glass and by the bottle, and the pub’s selection of beers is both extensive and very well kept. Service was friendly and swift and the bill very good value given the quality of the meal. My next visit will be to try the Sunday lunch, which I’m certainly anticipating with relish. While it’s never going to be a “gastropub”, having been around for several hundred years and established as a true market street local, the Dog Bull has certainly elevated its cuisine by several notches now and it’s easily up with the best in the area. As I mentioned earlier, there’s been a high turnover of chefs here recently; let’s hope that this one stays for a very long time."
