"We had a Sunday lunch and a mid-week evening meal at The Alma. Both were lovely. We were camping at Painter’s Farm, a 5min walk away so we’d booked to have lunch there once we’d pitched our tents on the Sunday. We found out they were having a charity quiz that evening and as it was too cold to sit outside, we decided to go back; what a hoot! Our team came last but we had such a laugh. Both the landlord and his team, as well as the locals were really friendly and made us feel really welcome. The landlady is the chef; and I must say, her Thai chicken curry was delish!"

"It’s a nice pub with a good feel to the place. The staff were polite and efficient. We unfortunately had table 5 which is next to an old chimney. There was a cold breeze coming from it so we sat with our coats over our knees and pulled the table away from the metal hood which because it was overhanging the table meant that the cold air dropped onto the table surface and wafted across the top, cooling our hands and potentially our meals, had we not pulled it away. Most of the meals were tasty but the squash arancini were under-seasoned and the squash in them tasteless. A vegan apple crumble might have been good but the addition of mango put us off. It wasn’t cheap, worked out at £33 a head, with two courses being eaten and two out of 4 of us on soft drinks, but I guess the cost of living increases have hit everywhere. We’d probably go again, but wouldn’t rush back."

"this is a nice little caffe, but it is always busy, so be ready to wait for a table and for eating. Unfortunately they do not take bookings during their busiest periods, which is annoying, so waiting times for a table can be anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes. Once they have a table kitchen, it can take about half an hour. there are good vegan options on the menu, the halloumi sandwich is great, and there is a lot of cake in the offer. I'd come more often if I could book a table, but the waiting time and the uncertainties will take me out."

"On Friday night, after Phoenix landed, I had a wonderful evening at the restaurant. I started with the kidneys, which were a perfect 10/10, and I enjoyed them with some chips on the side. It was absolutely delicious. The new owner was very accommodating and spent a good amount of time chatting with us. Since I requested a Don Pedro from South Africa, the chef even came out to prepare them for us, which was a lovely touch. Many thanks for a fantastic evening—I will definitely return!"

"I have just returned from a Valentines meal at the Mariners. I would just like to comment on the excellent table service from Tiguan, Excellent ambiance as always, you just can’t beat a open fire in a pub atmosphere. The food was superb and our...special dietary needs were fully met.I was really pleased that the chef prepared a few Fried Oysters for me, I could have eaten a bucket of them, they were the best I’ve ever eaten, just amazing. The whole meal was perfectly balanced. A huge big thank you to everyone at the Mariners that make this night very special for us both, a evening to remember, Huge thanks to Renee and all her staff. Looking forward to our next visit. Nick"
