Food was enjoyed by all four people. Fennel was a little undercooked, and hard to cut. COD was especially tasty.

We ordered from the set menu which was great value. The restaurant wasn’t busy on the night and time we went so the noise level and service was very good. Only one tiny thing, there was no custard option for the crumble. However all the food was fantastic, came out together and was hot. Excellent veggie options too. Would rate it one of the best ‘go to’ restaurants in towns or any occasion ....... will definitely go again....and again !

Great choice and excellent food, couldn’t fault it. Service a little ‘stiff’ and not as friendly as we’ve experienced previously which was a shame overall

Great staff and the food was great again but the thing that lets it down is the 20% they had on which is not a service charge? Once when we asked for them to remove they said he but did not and when your spending like £65 on just for a specials he hat only come to like £12.50 per head and no starters and no puddings but a round of drinks but only soft drinks they put on like £10 Ruth the extra charge they add which angers me and you should understand that part m. Hope you look into that part and see if you comment back to me. Thanks

it was ok (regular/average in my view) but not exceptional given the brand..... I don't mind paying the 12.5% optional gratuity they added to my bill which I paid anyway.... but for that I expected some more enthusiasm and service from the assigned waiter on the day....had to ask for certain pieces of cutlery before they were provided and some other stuff....in any case...for such a high street brand name, I expected a bit more.....

Good food good service and nice atmosphere, what more can you ask for at breakfast. This is one of the better organised cotes, particularly for breakfast. Only thing I would say, and this is for all cotes, coffee seems to take ages

My friend and I had a lovely, long lunch. The food, as ever, was great. Our waitress was lovely. She was very attentive and looked after us very well. We were able to stay for ages without feeling we were in the way. Lovely restaurant.

Conveniently situated in the centre of the town, close to the shops and transport links, this restaurant also enjoys a pleasant location by the river. The interior is spacious and well laid out. The food was good but we were troubled by persistent small black flies throughout the meal. Though the staff were pleasant the service felt overly rushed - our main course was brought before we had finished the starter and we had to remind staff about a side order.
