Highly recommend - always superb! The great thing about this restaurant is that everything is good! The curries, poppadoms, breads, the chutney - wow the chutney is excellent. Fantastic curry takeaway, highly recommended. You must try this place! I'd just say it would be better if we could order online through their website and also if the restaurant could confirm poppadoms are included. The first time I ordered curry but no poppadoms (I assumed they would be included like curry houses usually do). Then other times I've added poppadoms to the order and received loads. Its become the norm to expect poppadoms and a lottle annoying if you have to add them as extras at a cost.

Fantastic service. Couldnt do enough for me. The staff were all friendly and chatty. Loved the passionnthey had for the food. I asked if they did a lamb biriyani and was told yes sir we do the best lamb biriyani. Well I was sold and I must say iv had Biriyanis all over the UK as I work away as part of my job and this did not disappoint. Arguably it could have been the best one iv ever had. fantastic taste and the vegtable sauce wad spot on. Normally places dont do a good one but this had great flavours.

My Hubby and have been eating curries for Nearly a quarter of a century. And we rarely have an amazing one! But we have tried Club Desh... The flavours are truly amazing.! The depth of flavour, and the taste of the fresh ingredients, are what you expect from a London Eatery.... Will look forward to our next meal. Such an interesting, varied menu..... That Delivery member of the team. So helpful and friendly, a real asset to the team. Well done. Club Desh. đ

Really tasty food. Delivered when expected and still steaming hot. Disappointed with the tandoori prawns as a main, ÂŁ13.95 for 3 prawns. They were huge prawns, but when you can order them as a starter and get 2 prawns for ÂŁ7, the main is very poor value for money. Note to self: Better off ordering 2 tandoori prawn starters for ÂŁ14 and receiving 4 prawns. Other than that, very happy.

We stopped by this place when we were travelling between Southampton to Devon. All of the reviews sounded great. It did not disappoint! Extremely friendly and welcoming service and delicious food and lovely coffee! Quick service and we didnât have to wait long for the food to come out. We both went for the breakfast fix (a full English) and paid extra for black pudding. The bacon, sausage and black pudding were all delicious, fried egg was perfect, homemade hash brown and great fried mushrooms! On a busy road but donât let that put you off, the service was exceptional and the food was delicious!

Been here a few times now and every time I have attended, have been very pleased with the service and food. Abby is full of energy and has a great memory (remembers your orders without writing them down - impressive!). Food is well presented, tasty and general ambience of the restaurant is pleasant. Recommended.

Excellent food. Excellent staff. Fantastic choice of food. Nothing is too much trouble if you needed your food order tweaked. Staff are always friendly. I try to go here weekly as is guaranteed good quality food. I also love their coffee. Been to other local places but Love All Food is undoubtedly my favourite. Been many times and Iâve never found anything negative to say. Thank you Love All Food for for having such high standards at an affordable price. âïž

Lovely place. Always good food. Went for Christmas menu recently. Very nice experience. Only suggestion would be to have Yorkshire puddings with your Christmas turkey as other pubs offer this. It would make the Christmas meal even better. Thanks for a lovely experience.

While this is aimed at the golfers, anyone can turn up. Plenty of tables. Comfy sofas ( if you can get to them), Fresh cooked food and a great selection of drinks. Staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

We visited the outdoor dining / drinks area (âThe Hatchâ) as a much promised way to break up a long dog walk. Plenty of space around the tables. Dog was happy, coffees were good and the menus were tempting. Beyond golf, itâs pitched at cyclists and walkers using the Castleman Trail, so itâs a great location for rendezvous or post event socials.

This building has been in the family for over a 100 years come see this lovely building and enjoy some delicious old fashioned food. He was telling us some lovely stories about his family and how many generations have owned it and he even said the people were out with their phones measuring the difference angles of the floor it's pretty incredible. We haven't stayed in the rooms per se but I imagine there are amazing

Fabulous home cooked food, great beers. The staff and owner are friendly making the pub have a great comfy atmosphere. They also make the correct gravy for their meats, beef, lamb and chicken gravy. Not just beef as the majority of pubs do!

I dined in on my own after a busy day and I can honestly say I felt so welcomed the staff went above and beyond. Now for the food it was incredible full of flavours and was AUTHENTIC. The chefs and staff clearly know what theyâre doing. I cannot wait to return and this will be a new go to spot. The whole experience was outstanding the restaurant was busy and lively which is nice to see. I would also like to add the carbonara was one of the nicest pasta dishes Iâve ever had. Thank you to everyone at chianti

Iâve been a regular customer at Gulliverâs Farm Shop for quite some time, and itâs been wonderful to watch it grow and evolve. They offer a delightful menu featuring biodynamic food straight from their farm, and the quality of the food is outstanding, especially for the price. One of the highlights for us is that when an adult orders a meal, children's meals are just ÂŁ1 â a fantastic value for families! What makes Gulliver's even more special is their commitment to employing individuals with disabilities, providing meaningful support and opportunities to adults with varying needs. It feels great to support such a worthy cause while enjoying a meal. The play area is perfect for kids to run around, and the play trail is a lovely addition after a meal. I highly recommend Gulliverâs Farm Shop to friends and will continue to do so."

Brilliant for brunch - yesterday was the first time weâve been back since the new kitchen has gone in. We were both wowed by âDomâs Specialâ which was the best avocado, salsa, chilli jam, poached egg on sourdough: accompanied by perfect cappuccino and tea. Thank you!

Gullivers Farm Shop & Kitchen is a gem for families and the community! We thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas events for our little ones! The food is fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared, with superb coffee thatâs hard to beat. The shop is full of organic, local produce, and the whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe. We loved the family-friendly activities like meeting the farm animals and the play area for kids. What really stands out is the amazing work they do to support adults with varying support needs, creating opportunities and a real sense of community. Itâs a fantastic place for great food, great coffee, and a meaningful experience!

We had a fab time here this morning. It was very wet and muddy after all the rain we've had recently but my kids loved splashing on the trail. I even enjoyed a hot coffee while they played in the play area and my 3yo was thrilled with her gluten free brownie! Fab facilities, clean toilets and baby changing area. We will be back đ

We visited this lovely pub after it was taken over by the new owners, and I must say, itâs an absolute gem! (We now make it a regular visit once or twice a week) From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel so welcomeâit's clear they genuinely care about their customers. Not only do they provide excellent service, but theyâve also gone above and beyond to make sure my 1-year-old daughter feels right at home. They prepare healthy snacks for her while we enjoy our meals, which is such a thoughtful touch. The food here is fantastic, with the summer ploughmanâs being a real standout. It's fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. Whether youâre after a relaxing drink or a hearty meal, this pub offers both in abundance. Itâs great to see a local spot where families can feel comfortable, enjoy great food, and leave with a smile. Highly recommend! Good luck David, James and team with your new adventure xx

We regularly visit the white hart on Fridays with my wife, young daughter and in-laws. David (the owner) is a great host and cannot do enough to ensure our time at the pub is enjoyable. He is great with our daughter and because mamma keeps her on a strict diet he has even made her food that is not on the menu. We love the food (especially the legendary ploughmanâs and seasonal specials) and the atmosphere. We also tried a Sunday roast here recently and it was delicious. Itâs a place that we are proud to call our local.

WOW what a fantastic hidden gem! As it was our first visit we were unsure what to expect. There was plenty of parking and seating outside on arrival. The friendly bar lady told us it had recently been refurbished and under new management. The decor was beautiful and had 2 log fires burning giving it a warm and welcoming feel. The staff, food and service was excellent. We had heard about the legendary ploughmanâs which we wanted to try but unfortunately due to high demand they were waiting on a second delivery so we opted for the pie and stew which were both delicious! The only downside was an extremely rude woman sat on a nearby table who was causing a commotion about the ploughmanâs being off the menu. The bar lady was extremely apologetic and was offering alternatives put the woman was not having any of it. She had no thought or consideration for other customer who were sat enjoying their meals. This went on for a good 10 minutes. She then got up and started shouting and waving her phone about at the staff in the bar area and proceeded to storm out with her husband looking extremely embarrassed in tow! We werenât fortunate enough to try the ploughmanâs but have booked to go again next week with friends and family. We also want to try the Sunday roast and were advised to book as they get very busy. Well Done White Hart you have done an incredible job, look forward to visiting you again soon.

Lovely welcome for our party and the dogs, the waitress asked the names of each of our dogs, and remembered them throughout our meal. We mainly had the Sunday Roast, i myself had the turkey. The quality and quantity of our meal fabulous, we all really enjoyed the food. Service by Sharon, our waitress, was second to none, attentive but not at all rushed. Desserts were scrummy, I had The Honeypot and it was delicious. All in all, well worth a visit!

A nice atmosphere, good quality food and friendly staff. We went out for a family birthday meal with the grandparents as we received a 40% off mains voucher, which made it more value for money; I personally would not go at full price. Because of the promotion it was very busy in the restaurant and food was a little slow in coming out as expected, but they communicated with us when our food was due. One of the plates had to be sent back because elements of the dish was cold, but they sorted this ASAP. I would recommend going here for dinner, but perhaps the usual price is a little more than I'd like to pay for the food. Plenty of choice on the menu and a lovely atmosphere to be in.
