But by the time we left it was very popular and had a good buzz. Good range of menu options from Set Menus of varying budgets to a la carte. All the usuals were available. Service was prompt and efficient. Around enough top help but not get in your face. Very enjoyable evening. Give it a go

On arriving we received a bowl of spicy crackers and sweet chilli dip. There is a good value special set lunch menu, but we went for an evening meal and had one of the set menus for around £23 per head. For this we got a mixed starter platter with crispy wanton, chicken satay, ribs, spring roll, prawn in filo pastry and a couple of dipping sauces; this was followed by a bowl of soup which contained mushrooms and prawns. For the main we got a bowl of egg fried special rice, prawns in with an egg basket and noodles; beef in a spicy sauce with green beans; Thai red curry with duck; broccoli with oyster sauce; sweet and sour chicken in a filo pastry basket. For pudding there was a banana fritter wrapped in filo pastry, ice cream and a toffee sauce; coffee is also included. All the food was good or very good. The service was reasonably quick and polite. It is a small restaurant with about a dozen tables or so. It can get fairly busy, but you don't usually need to book. This was our first time, but we will be back: the place lacks a little in style and atmosphere, but still highly recommended.

I've been to Nonnas a few times and I can't fault it at all…read more The food is lovely, they have gluten free options and it's just such good value for money. I have only had one incident where I went with my partner on Sunday and it was our fault we didn't book a table but we wanted to give it a go just in case. We were ignored when we came to the host station and a family behind us got to push in front and was greeted and taken care of. After they had been served and sat down etc... we were finally greeted - we did ask if there was a table for two but we didn't have our hopes up and we just got "we are fully booked." And left it at that and walked away. I understand that it was busy but it definitely left a sour taste in my mind in regards to going back

Dined at Nonna's last night with a party of 10 for work. We entered into a nicely decorated…read moreItalian style restaurant. In order to accommodate the group and ensure the kitchen was ready, they asked us to order ahead. I had the mix salad to start and the Formaggio and Pear Fiocchio Consomme for the main. I was impressed when the salad came out and it wasn't just a lot of lettuce with the standard single slice of cucumber and tomato. Instead it was a great mix of tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, lettuce, green olives, and a lite oil dressing. This did help me not be super jealous of the delicious Bruschetta and Calamari some of my fellow diners were enjoying. All of the plates were clear by the end so I have a feeling it was delicious. The main was lovely. It was cute little "bags of pasta" floating in a light veggie broth with peas and asparagus. The inside of the pasta was a delicious pear mash which went great with the veggies. I had a nice glass of Malbec to go alongside it all. My colleagues had dessert and all said it was delicious. I would happily come back to Nonna's.

Although fixed on to a pub (i think its called The Chequers?) it is very clean, not too noisy and perfect for a friendly dinner. Un-plastered Painted brick walls makes it not too posh, whilst the hand painted elephants give it a sense of fun. I went to this indian in a party of 8. We were seated quickly (we had booked) and our drink order was taken. You can get drinks from the bar also if wish to keep them on a separate tab. The house wine was about a tenner and although i did not drink it, i was told it was very nice. The menu is extensive consisting of starters, mains but also set meals. The 8 of us decided to make it simple and order a 'Let the chef decide' at about £14 a head. First we were served a mountain of popadoms and the usual sauces and sides - all of which were very very nice. Be careful not too eat too much popadom as they can be surprisingly filling!! Next came the starter for which we were fiven a mixed starter each - Chicken, fried veg and kebab meat. IT WAS TO DIE FOR. it was really really good and the meat tasted real fresh. Not dried up kebab meat as can be found! The mains were delicious. We had 4 mains x2 so for 4 people you would get four mains. You also get a rice each and also a few sides such as bombay potatoe. The mains were really big. Ours included a korma, a spicy tomatoes one, a mild lamb one and also one that ive never had before but was lovely. We vasked for a korma to be included as one of our party does not like spicy food. They were more than obliging. The service was not the fastest but i cant really complain. They were smiley and friendly and asked if the food was okay. Which it was. You can expect to pay about £15 for food unless pick individual meals that are really expensive, plus drinks which are usual price. I would highly recommend this indian for couples or groups alike it really is VERY VERY GOOD.

Dixy is great, it's been around for years and years, and they are kind of like a KFC but not…read more They're independent for starters, rather than part of a chain, but they do all sorts of similar foods and it's basically fried chicken that's the main dish. As well as various sizes of 'bucket' or meal with fries and chicken in them, they also do things like bbq ribs and onion rings. Great place to go if you've a few people turn up unexpectedly coz you can feed a fair number quite cheaply from here with little fuss. They were also really good a few years back when we had a party and asked if they could do us 50 hot wings to be collected at a specific time and did them for a really good price. (saved me a little cooking and they went out as part of the hot buffet).
