"both eating and the personal were beautiful here. they enjoy running a caffe. I ordered avocado and tomaten in sourdough, which was beautifully presented. my son had hummus and oliven who came with a buck of white brotkunks, with whom he was satisfied. because my partner likes meat, there was something for everyone here. there were vegan options on the desert menu and the vegan cupcake went well. fast enough service, considering that everything is freshly made in an open kitchen."

"Before I start, I want to say that the restaurant owner has reached out to us to apologize and make this right. This review is based on the events of the night. TLDR: Starters took an hour to arrive, and we gave up on further food after 90 minutes and left. Were told the order had not gone through the system, but the front of house staff didn’t notice we weren’t eating or clear the empty glasses from our table and ask if we wanted a second round. We watched other tables eat 3 courses (although we were not the only table who left unhappy). We were a table of 5 who booked in for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We had to leave a £10 per person deposit to hold the table, fair enough. The website also stated that we had to pre order our meals, which seems a little strange for a table of 5 (I could understand if we were twice as many). A phone call confirmed that we didn’t have to pre order, so the website could do with updating as this might put people off. We arrived a few minutes early, sat down and ordered some cocktails and then our food (starters and main course). After an hour we had finished our drinks, the empties hadn’t been cleared away and nobody asked if we wanted more. We then asked what had happened to our starters and suggested some chips and dip for the table while we waited. After checking we were told that our starters were being plated up and there was not point in getting chips (one of our party wasn’t having a starter and by then was getting pretty hungry). The starters were delicious when we finally got them. After flagging down a server for another round of drinks, we waited, watching other table arrive after us, and be served their meals. I was beginning to wonder if we had done something wrong when I saw someone from another table to go the kitchen hatch and collect their own food (they later also left the restaurant unhappy). When we did ask what the delay was, the staff were not helpful, or apologetic. We finally gave up on getting our food and left. During the evening the owner (also the chief) was in the kitchen working away. He seemed unaware of the issues going on in the front of house, and nobody apologised to us, or offered to put things right until we left (the owner did email us the next day and has been working with us to make amends)."

"It was fairly quiet and not terribly busy which is a shame as the food and service deserve to be experienced by lots of people. Wonderfully flavoursome curries with the special touch of Gurkha spices. Previous reviews have mentioned the need to look beyond the frontage, please do, the culinary experience is excellent. Vegetarian options: Lots of choice Dietary restrictions: Freshly made so just ask. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"The roast was decent but the potatoes were old and tough. The burger was pretty small and basic, the burger sauce was non existent. The donburi was lacking sauce too that we had to ask for more, without it it would have been a lot of plain rice. The time it took for our food order to be taken was long as well as the time it took for the food to arrive. We have nothing against live music but when it started none of us could have a conversation, in fact the staff were having to shout the specials to other customers. Maybe it's best saved for later in the evening. All in all it was pretty average which is a shame for how much you are spending along with what is a great looking restaurant/bar."

"We noticed a sign on the A259 advertising The Red Lion, so we decided to call and see if they could accommodate us on Sunday afternoon. Luckily, they had a table available, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. We both ordered the roast beef, and it was an excellent cut of topside, cooked perfectly and served with a variety of sides, including a wonderfully crispy Yorkshire pudding and delicious gravy, all piping hot. There wasn’t a scrap left on our plates, but I managed to save some room for the apple crumble with custard, which was equally delicious. The total bill for two, including drinks, came to an impressive £50, but with a generous tip for the outstanding service, it ended up being a bit more."
