"I stumbled upon this hidden gem thanks to a friend's suggestion. I visited with two friends and we were absolutely impressed by the amazing food – it's an understatement. The service was outstanding, with attentive staff and great deals on their menu items. I started with the vegetable spring rolls, which were fresh and served with a delicious sweet chili dipping sauce. For my main course, I ordered the special chow mein and it exceeded my expectations – generous portions of meat perfectly combined with noodles. Even though we were too full for dessert, the tempting options on other tables have convinced me to come back. The value for everything we enjoyed was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant for a fantastic dining experience with friends or family."

"This restaurant is truly one of a kind. It was beyond amazing! After 5 years of planning and multiple disruptions due to covid, we finally managed to have our friends from Oxford visit and secure a table. We started off with drinks at the cozy Penybont Arms before heading to the restaurant. The atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxed, it felt like being at home. The starters were all exquisite and we especially enjoyed the unique BBQ chicken wings and delicious prawn skewers. For our main course, we opted for the steak sharer and it was a tough decision considering how good the chateau steak is known to be. However, we were blown away by the taste, juiciness, and flavor of the steak. We were only able to finish half of the platter, which we took home and enjoyed just as much the next day. We then indulged in the dessert platter for four and it was heavenly. From cheesecake to choc brownies to churros with caramel dipping sauce, every bite was a delight. We left the restaurant with four take-home bags and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for an exceptional experience, top-notch service, and a perfect evening."

"One word WOW! Me and my partner visited here to take my mother out for her birthday. We made a reservation (just to note, you do have to put down a deposit for the booking and the team were very responsive on their chat/messaging system. We visited on a Sunday and there was only one other (rather large party at the restaurant however, it didn't seem crowded or loud. We were seated next to a lovely radiator which was nice to have when it was so cold outside! We were then asked for our drink orders (we'd HIGHLY recommend any of their cocktails and their Sangria! and then asked for our food. The menu isn't so big that you get lost in the choices, but there is definitely enough for everyone. There is also a suggestion of a couple of portions per person but if you're hungry or a big eater, I'd go for more! The only negative thing I can say about our experience is that their card machine was not working and we did not know until we arrived at the restaurant however, there is an ATM about a 5 minute walk away. This does not distract from the food or the service we received and these sorts of things happen!"

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"

"I visited this restaurant yesterday with my family and was very impressed by him. it had a pub section next to the restaurant section. the restaurant area had crooked coasters and essmatten, which had a really nice note. the wood interior. for the appetizers almost all had the freche garlic bread. this was absolutely amazing and came with a side of cheese dipping sauce that was incredible (a must have for cheese lovers.) for my main I had served the festive burger (turkeyburger, filling burger, mozzarella and cranberry sauce with 2 pigs in crumbs and halloumi fries,) the very full and of good quality. everyone had clear tellers, except those who could not finish their meal due to the amount. for dessert we had two blondes (white chocolate breweries) who came with a selection of cream, ice or custard (a lot to my joy). we both enjoyed and recommend them. Moreover, the staff were all beautiful and pleasant and made the place very secret. I would recommend coming here."

"fresh and very tasty mushes! we had fishcake, garnel and laughs as appetizers. 2 buckets with 2 different flavors: schalotte sauce and special muzzle with a little red sauce. both are really succulent! the house white wine was extremely light. I do not recommend going for this choice of the wee. if they are a seafood lover, this place must be one!"

"We have been here a number of times over the years, and although we have found the food average, the service always friendly and attentive and much appreciated so overall we have enjoyed the experience. However the food on our visit this week really was not very nice. We ordered Pad Thai and it was gloopy , fruity and hadn’t been near a peanut, and the prawns rubbery it was like a Chinese take on a classic Thai dish so if you like Pad Thai this probably is not what to order. The rubbery and tasteless vegetarian spring rolls were not much better. We have had Pad Thai here before and enjoyed it, but not any more, we were served up an entirely different and unappetising dish."

"Disappointed this evening , have been many times previously but tonight wasn’t a good experience. Staff very busy with many take away collections so not a relaxed atmosphere. They had run out of tofu at 7 pm !!! The wine we chose was unavailable, the meal took ages to arrive and the sticky Thai rice arrived in an inedible lump, I had to wait for a replacement by which time my friends had finished their meal. Piles of dirty? Table clothes laundry up at the back of the restaurant towards the loos . All looking a bit shabby , shame as it used to be great"

"I’ve visited a few times this year and good and service was great! Sadly However today, the food wasn’t great. We had 2 haddock and chips with minted peas. Peas really cold and haddock really greasy. The burgers the other 2 had were nothing special but ok.The service wasn’t great, but worst thing was the waiter who delivered our food really stank of BO! Not nice especially in hospitality sector as hygiene is a must.I did mention this to waitress I thought was senior as I left she said ‘ I know’ and I said ‘ well you need to tell him, it’s not good, Good Luck’To sum up not notice smelling an arm pit when food is delivered taken away. How hard is it to wash and spray deodorant? We all sweat but seriously this was really pungent not nice.Lovely pub and atmosphere usually but this smelly chap ruined our experience. I hope this helps his future hygiene routine. Food choice wasn’t great, or that great for price and dreadful pong ruined main so we decided to skip pudding!So disappointing when u pay for a meal ur daughter is put off with arm pit smells not great for first meal out after lock down"

"they have the feeling that they have time and time that they earn their time and money when they are bathing service that they can do this. the first time today and omg the waitress was so racist and also she is so rude. what do they recommend? she likes that I don't know. All I asked her doesn't know her. she even brings me the dry **** tails and no sharp ones. I asked her why it's so dry that she looked at me like she's killing me with eyes. what's going on? this place looks good from outside, but inside? nearhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't think there's any manager or supervisor they can complain about. the same eat they find in other Chinese or Asian shops for cheaper. also I have eaten Nepalese food for age groups, but in this restaurant you will not find a taste of Nepalese cuisine and everything you can find is a normal Indian or Chinese mix as they eat in an Indian restaurant. they have an indian restaurant where they can freeze and food plus yummy not like this saturation. the idner of this restaurant needs to destroy someone who is beneficial and more careful. not a racist and unprofessional corporate law."

"My husband and I have stayed at Dukes for many years. It’s in the perfect spot, right on the sea front and we always treat ourselves to a room with a view! The food and service has always been good until our most recent visit in February. We booked a table on our first night for our anniversary and the second night we ate in the Conservatory. The first night was fab, good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. However, on the second night we were left extremely disappointed. We’d checked with a member of staff what was the latest time to order food and were told 8:30pm. This gave us time to have a drink in the bar beforehand and unwind. At 8:00pm a different member of staff approached us for our food order. When we asked if we could wait until 8:30pm he was very disgruntled and rude. He wanted to know there and then if we were having starters and dessert. As we hadn’t even looked at a menu yet how were we supposed to know what we fancied and how full we’d be? So, declined a starter and dessert and literally went with the mains missed a sale there! Food was lovely as always but just as we finished eating the same guy came over and told us the bar was closing. This was approx 10:00pm. No one informed us that it was a reduced service, that they were closing early and that you won’t be able to relax and enjoy your evening because they all want to go home. The room rate doesn’t change throughout the year so why should the service. We were left feeling that we were nothing but an inconvenience and that our business wasn’t important. I would have thought given the current climate and the effect it’s having especially on hospitality that there would have been a bit more interest in your customer experience. Such a shame Dukes Team very disappointing experience."

"My boyfriend and I popped in last night (a Saturday for the first time, we didn’t have a reservation but were warmly greeted and immediately seated at a nice table. The restaurant has lovely homey decor and we both instantly felt comfortable there. There was a lady and a gentleman working who were friendly, professional and had a lovely manner which felt un rushed in the best way, i.e they give you plenty of time to look at the menu (which has a surprisingly large amount of choice! without feeling pressured into panic ordering which is what normally happens for me at other restaurants We ordered the Thai platter for 2 to share to start, then the beef massaman curry, the red duck curry and a sticky rice to share for mains along with a Singha and a glass of Sauvignon it was lovely to see the wines were from Tanners too, a good quality Shrewsbury wine merchant. The starter platter came with barely a wait and was absolutely delicious, chicken skewers with a satay dipping sauce, fish cakes with a sweet chilli dipping sauce, some prawn toast (which was extra specially delicious! , spring rolls and chicken wings. Thoroughly recommended, and I especially enjoyed the little pot of grapes and sliced apple that was a really nice touch! The mains came at the perfect time and were presented on top of a pot with a tealight in to keep the food warm as we ate which is thoughtful, they were both tasty mains and we ate every last bite. Perfect portion sizes too as we left feeling full without being too stuffed. Our bill came to £50 which for two really great courses as well as alcoholic drinks is very reasonable indeed. I’d happily pop back here any time and would recommend it for anyone who likes Thai food"

"Amazing and delicious food, served in a unique and cosy environment with a great host. We all tried a mixed starter (chefs platter) which everyone seemed to enjoy and was really varied. The mains were equally brilliant, but make sure you read the menu properly (hot really does mean hot). The presentation of all of the food was equally impressive. All in all, a great night. Would highly recommend, we will definitely be going back. (party of seven, all adults, preordered food, waited less than 5 min per course, all food can be seen being cooked fresh, great value)"

"Went to Steak on stones with pals tonight to take on the 22 quid for 3 course menu they've ran in January. Starter was soup of the day (Cauliflower) then Sirloin with chips and choice of sauce (peppercorn) and then donut and dipping sauce to finish. There was not even a glimmer of hope to switch the soup for a real' starter. I always find soup a waste of a first course...the only other option was a piece of bread for 1.50. Eh?! Steak was good, chups good, sauce...cold. donuts were quite tough and the jam was the saviour. Chocolate dipper was like burnt chocolate. Cocktails weren't up to much either. Service wasn't great and overall not overly impressed. Would rather stay home and cook my...read more"

"We are big fans of Thai cuisine we have been in Thailand numerous times, and experienced the real authentic Thai food. Despite reading a few poor reviews, we wanted to go and experience this place ourselves. We ordered Massaman Lamb curry and Vegetable Penang curry coconut rice. We asked for jasmine tea, but got Chinese green tea, that was incredibly weak (and arrived without the leaves/or perhaps tea bags already removed). Then arrived two bowls of rice the bowls were incredibly hot just like taken from the microwave, and the flavour didn’t have a coconut flavour at all. Rice was followed by Vegetable Penang curry (see picture), which was quite all right. Then we have been told that our Lamb Massaman curry has been made with chicken. So we politely said we will wait for the lamb one. This dish arrived within 5 minutes, and it was truly horrible the presentation, as well as the taste. The meat was tough and absolutely tasteless. It was far from the taste of Massaman curry. Just 5 days prior to this experience we visited our favourite award winning restaurant Yum yum in Stoke Newington (London) and had the Massaman curry over there. Perfectly presented, delicious and cooked to precision, and cheaper than the tasteless dish at Fluffy Rice. Overall Fluffy Rice is a disappointment we have been recommended this place for it’s authenticity, but this is far from it. At the end it’s important to note, that you can’t pay by card. You are presented with an option to pay by cash or Paypal transfer. Which is a bit ridiculous. Overpriced, low quality food, far from authentic Thai, and not worth it at all."

"How was the Cross Keys you ask?.....in one word Awesome . First time back in the keys in years and this visit was based on a food recommendation. This recommendation did not disappoint! I had the special which was a Greek gyros with tzatziki and a side of pulled pork on chips, a taste sensation ensued Wish I 'd taken a pic as it was delicious and great value for money! Our waitress was great and the quirkyness of the inside is well worth a visit on its own merit! I could sit for hrs in the toilet just reading the comic walls!! I highly recommend the food and the ambience! You will not be disappointed. Great venue for a date night so do it, it 's so worth it!.....(this is not a paid review or the words of an actor!! ....."
"This is an absolutely awesome Thai restaurant that you should try when you are in this area. In fact I actually made a trip to try one of the best Thai food I could find! We asked for extra spicy for the dishes and the dishes did indeed were spicy and flavourful! Loving this to the max! Would recommend people to come."

"I have just been to the Dog House Kitchen for the first time and I cannot rave about it enough. The hospitality is second to none with every detail thought of and a constant top up of wine! Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. I am gluten free and loved that for once my food was the same quality as everyone else’s. The food was beautifully cooked, generous portions, with wonderful flavours put together. The setting is really pretty, and the hosts have managed to create a warm and homely atmosphere. The place is perfect for a special occasion or private function. I will definitely be going back. What a wonderful find!"

"we are great cooks and never go in the rule for a roast, as there is always such a disappointment in comparison to homemade, but my goodness, that is an exception!...and not washing! we were very impressed. I had fryed, my partner had the fag. The...beef came with a triumphant of a yorkshire puddings and the pork with cracking. the brat potatoes were crispy and golden on the outside and fluffy in the middle, the carrot and wild boar was perfectly seasoned, roasted carrot and papasnip perfectly cooked and tasty caramelized. they get a generous amount of accompanying veg that is great for us. delicious shredded spring green, courgette and cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Once again, I must highlight the cauliflower and the broccoli cheese, as it was fabulously frescoy and was well spiced with this beautiful piece browned cheese on the top! you can say that the cook is cooked with passion and can be proud of it. the personal is fantastic. so welcoming, friendly and simple in general fun to be insubstantial. you feel the love. the only feedback that I could possibly give is that we like more salted cracks and pink bark, but that is personal preference, no criticism. we can't wait to go back!"
