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 didn’t 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 don’t 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.

The hot chocolate was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious — the perfect cozy treat on a cold day! The friendly staff made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

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 I’ve never found anything negative to say. Thank you Love All Food for for having such high standards at an affordable price. ☕️

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.

Really tasty food. Delivered when expected and still steaming hot. Disappointed with the tandoori prawns as a main, £13.95 for 3 prawns. They were huge prawns, but when you can order them as a starter and get 2 prawns for £7, the main is very poor value for money. Note to self: Better off ordering 2 tandoori prawn starters for £14 and receiving 4 prawns. Other than that, very happy.

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. 👍

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.

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 they’re 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 I’ve ever had. Thank you to everyone at chianti

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.

We just wanted to say thank you for the amazing time we had last night to celebrate our son’s 21st in one of the Woodland Huts. The food was incredible and the service provided by the all the team was just brilliant. We especially wanted to give a massive thank you to Clare, who looked after us all evening - nothing was too much trouble, she was very friendly and always smiling. She made us feel so welcome and relaxed from the minute we arrived. Thanks again for a great night!

We visited the outdoor dining / drinks area (“The Hatch”) 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, it’s pitched at cyclists and walkers using the Castleman Trail, so it’s a great location for rendezvous or post event socials.

Breakfast is superb and consistently good on the couple of days we stayed nearby. The evening meal was equally good. We will definitely return as is dog friendly with plenty of seating space both in and out doors

Loved the place, cultivated a great customer base who respected the place, allowing for high-quality amenities. Only visited for breakfast (twice) but wished we tried coming in the evening, as it was clear there had a good nightlife. Dog friendly too.

Brilliant for brunch - yesterday was the first time we’ve been back since the new kitchen has gone in. We were both wowed by “Dom’s Special” which was the best avocado, salsa, chilli jam, poached egg on sourdough: accompanied by perfect cappuccino and tea. Thank you!

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 😀

I’ve been a regular customer at Gulliver’s Farm Shop for quite some time, and it’s 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 £1 – 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 Gulliver’s Farm Shop to friends and will continue to do so."

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 that’s 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. It’s a fantastic place for great food, great coffee, and a meaningful experience!

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!

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

Best doner kebab I've ever had and I was sober! Choice of original, Naga or Jalfrezi, I went for Naga, probably about the same heat as a Madras curry. Delicious!

Thank you so much for a wonderfully enjoyable family meal today, 5 star in everything! (there were 5 adults and 1 child - we booked a table same day). The food (as per our last visit) was so good and we enjoyed every bite! Please don't ever get rid of the chicken schnitzel with the garlic butter - it was lush! It was a very busy Saturday and there was a very large table seated just down from us - the staff worked so hard and were rushed off their feet but they all remained so friendly and welcoming! There was a bit of a longer wait than usual for the food but this was expected as it is a lovely popular pub on a Saturday. We were happy just chatting and having drinks. One server stood out for us and that was Ellie :) She looked after us so well and couldn't do enough for us! Every meal out with my family is so very special - thank you for being part of it with us :)

We went there for a Sunday lunch while celebrating a birthday. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Lisa our server was very good, as were her colleagues. Drinks and food came very quickly. Reasonably priced for what we had. My only criticism would be, that I felt the tables we a little too close, however we had an enjoyable experience, thank you.

Went for a 2 course Christmas dinner on a Wednesday lunch time. The starters were delicious. The mushrooms on toast were a very generous portion for a starter. We opted for the carvery which had a large choice of vegetables to accompany. The meat was nice and juicy, the vegetables were all done except for the cauliflower cheese which was very overcooked. Otherwise, the meal was fine, the staff were accommodating and would recommend it for a nice carvery lunch.
Rating: 5 / 5
We went for the carvery last minute and Mick found a way to fit us in! So my advice is book ahead, it gets busy. Mick was absolutely wonderful, chatted with my niece and it was lovely for someone to make the effort as she is very chatty. The carvery was delicious and the kids sausage and mash was a really good portion!
Rating: 5 / 5
Extremely satisfying to see an establishment offering such good value for money. We visit this place about once a month as friends and I visit the Brisge House with my husband about once a month to have the carvery. Fantastic value for money, it is a pity that other local eateries do not seem to adopt a similar business model. They seem to be busy at the Bridge House, each and every time I visit. Very pleasant service, excellent choice of vegetables and three types of meat are offered at the carvery. Super happy to be visiting this place, a really great value for money. We shall be back very soon. Thank you.

My mother is local and eats here often with friends and family. We eat there on Tuesday 26th November and we're served and entertained by Mick. He made my mother laugh and feel at ease. Food and service were excellent. Thank you to Mick and his team, we shall be back.
