"The atmosphere was beautiful and unpretentious, with excellent food and service. The restaurant itself, complete with a courtyard area for drinks, was very pleasant. Overall, dining at The Granary was perhaps my best restaurant experience yet."

"I phoned on the off chance for a table for lunch and so thankful I did. The pub has a great atmosphere and we were greeted with a friendly face and nothing was too much trouble. The pub is dog friendly which was great for us to take ours along. We had the beef burgers which were delicious and well presented. I would highly recommend a visit here. Thank you"

"I recently visited 7 Pizza Parlour and was greeted by friendly smiling staff My pizza chosen from a great base selection and added to by extra toppings, my pizza was created and I was told it would take around 10 minutes to make and cook Returning 10 minutes later I was handed my freshly made and cooked pizza, it was delicious, great quality and great value The selection of additional side dishes and their newly introduced ability to create pizzas to order that are then frozen and wrapped adds an additional dimension to the business and offers customers that extra flexibility and convenience"

"Staying at a caravan park nearby and thought we’d support local and try the local Italian and reading the reviews on here. Wish we hadn’t. First of all, the restaurant is run down and tired. We chose to say in the ‘little room’ after having our pick of tables in the empty restaurant. At 19:30 on a bank holiday Friday evening, we should’ve known that was a red flag. There was no music, and it was weirdly quiet even with other diners. Like awkward to speak out loud. Ordered a Moretti a lemonade. Lemonade was out of a bottle which had been open a whole, and the Moretti was a tiny bottle. We both ordered the special stater as the waitress described it so beautifully. Mushrooms in a tomato sauce on a bed of garlic bread, over baked with crispy cheese. It was laughable. 2 tiny slices of shop-bought garlic bread soaked with jarred tomato sauce, part-cooked mushrooms (some stalks were definitely raw) and cheddar on top. The whole thing had been microwaved rather than over baked which you could tell by the ‘extremely hot plates’ we were told to be careful of. I then had spag bol my partner had spaghetti with prawns. I have never had a blander spag bol in my life. It was like chewing nothing. And my partner said his was just full of garlic and was very disappointing. We’ve had nicer microwaved meals from supermarkets and can DEFINITELY cook better at home. The side of garlic bread was also shop-bought tiny slices with added garlic butter. Garlic overload AND microwaved, again with the boiling hot plate we were, again, told to watch. Parmesan also came in a tiny little dish that we had to share. We said it was nice to just pay up and leave. As the waitresses were not very approachable and looked extremely scruffy. Tatty clothes and trainers that were falling apart. I felt SO overdressed in jeans and boots! We even questioned ourselves that maybe we were being slight food snobs being from a busy city but no, this place is abysmal. The locals must also agree which is why it was dead? Needs a serious overhaul and the chefs needs sacking. Never ever again. Waste of time and money. So disappointed."

"Bahar is one of my favorite go-to restaurants. I first visited it in 2020 when I drove from Shrewsbury to spend the weekend with a friend in Newtown. After a two-year gap, we returned last weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The food was as delicious as ever; everything was fresh and brought back many wonderful memories. The service, especially from Dance and Rahi, was exceptional. My young child was fascinated by the open kitchen and was overjoyed when the chefs waved back at him. I also want to extend a big thank you to the team for making a special birthday dessert for my wife, which was a delightful ice cream dish. This place is amazing and a must-visit!"
