Called in for lunch one weekday, having not been there for years, the cafe was very quiet, which is…read moresurprising. Had freshly battered and cooked cod, while we waited with chips and mushy peas. It came with bread and butter, and tea or coffee for around £7.50. It was delicious - the cod was thick and meaty, the batter light and crisp. Full of flavour with excellent chips. The best fish and chips I've had in ages, will make sure its not as long before I return. Nice varied alternatives on the menu as well. Great decor inside with loads of old family photos and other memorabilia. Absolutely fantastic.

We got three pizzas and all three had delicious and unique flavor combinations. I ended with the pavlova which is honestly one of the best pavlova's I've ever had. And I didn't even get to the back patio which is just so charming as it overlooks a playground in a beautiful green field. Definitely make your way over here if you're in the area.

I would've expected something like this at a reservation-only restaurant in London. The special pizza (caramelised onions and chorizo with mascarpone and chilli) was amazing. We sat at the bar and watched the food being prepared and served, and everyone was super professional and each plate was inspected by the chef before it was seen fit to be sent out. This place was fully booked on Saturday night (18:45) so I would recommend making reservations.

The food was good. The lasagna was the best meal by far. The chicken Alfredo was bland and unflavorful. It needed salt desperately. However, there was no salt on the tables, only pepper. The salads were okay. Nothing special.

AVOID THIS PLACE! If you want your reservation mysteriously…read moredisappeared, or if you enjoy dressing up for dinner only to be turned away at the door -- this is the restaurant for you. We called at 8:30 PM to ask if there were any available tables for the night. The guy on the phone clearly confirmed two options: 9:30 PM and 9:45 PM. I even asked if 9:30 was the earliest available, and he confirmed it was. I then confirmed the 9:30 PM reservation, to which he replied, "See you later at the restaurant." When we arrived -- 15 minutes early, by the way -- and told the host about our reservation, he looked completely shocked. He denied ever receiving a reservation call. I showed him my call log (see attached screenshot), which clearly shows we called the correct number. He admitted he was the only man working the phones and that it was indeed the right number -- but still insisted no reservation had been made. Even though the restaurant had empty tables, he refused to seat us, was incredibly rude, and paid us no attention while continuing to serve others. No apology at all. No effort to resolve anything. Just left us standing there. Absolutely absurd and laughable experience. Never again.
