“Only had a cheese and tomato toasties but it was red hot and tasty as ever. The wife had apple pie with custard and she thought it was gorgeous. Very friendly staff and well priced”

“The food here is incredible!!! Have had the golden platter a few times and it's always been 10/10 - it has that delicious smokey taste from the charcoal. Is also a massive portion so lasts us a couple of days. Love having it as a local!”

“Popped in here for lunch with my friend and her baby last week and would highly recommend a visit. There were a steady stream of people coming in for icecream and the servers were very sweet despite being busy. The food menu is pretty extensive (jacket potatoes, wraps, sandwiches, full English and more) and they're really flexible so you can easily tweak and swap out items. We had a strawberry milkshake each (delish!! And they even gave us a small third glass because it made too much for 2 cups and otherwise it'd go to waste - never had that anywhere ever they normally jus put it down the sink), a crayfish sandwich and pesto panini both with Crisps and salad. Food was great and then the icecream after was fab, tasted a few flavours then picked one and only £2 a scoop! They also only use the posh biscuit cones and spinkles and sauce are inc. In the price :) seating available inside and out, fully licensed and with a wide range of cocktails and spirits and open till 8pm on some days!”

“If you’re looking for the best fish and chips this side of Essex, look no further! This place is, without a doubt, a standout among all the fish and chip shops I’ve tried, and I’ve tried plenty. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take pride in their food. The aroma hits you right away—fresh fish, crispy batter, and perfectly fried chips.First, let’s talk about the fish. It’s always fresh, never greasy, and the batter has that perfect crunch you dream of. They clearly use high-quality ingredients because the taste is phenomenal every time. The chips are equally as impressive—golden, fluffy on the inside, and crisp on the outside. They’re seasoned just right, and you can tell they care about the little details here. You won’t find soggy fries or overcooked fish, just perfection on a plate.I’ve visited multiple times, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. The service is friendly and fast, and no matter how busy it gets, the quality never slips. I’m now making it a point to stop by every week because it’s become my go-to spot for comfort food. Whether you’re dining in or taking it home, it’s always a win.In short, this place is a gem. If you love traditional fish and chips, it doesn’t get any better than this. Trust me, you’ll be hooked after one visit. Highly recommend!”

“Came for a meal last night with my closest friend and the service here was delightful. We were directed to a table by Marcelle and served at the bar by Steve, both of whom were super friendly and polite! Our food was cooked by a new chef, Matthew which was sublime. We will definately be returning soon.”

“On the way to the coast, past London, near the M25, lies this charming café in a beautiful little garden center. The food selection is limited, but very tasty and freshly prepared.”

“I have only used the take away services of this restaurant and on both occasions have found the food to be excellent and in my opinion a five star cuisine. The food was extremely tasty, hot on delivery and delivered extremely quickly. The management and staff are extremely courteous and friendly and nothing would appear to be too much trouble. I will certainly be using both the take away and eat in services in the future. Well done Cauliflower!!!!”

“Definitely a smashed burger, made by folks passionate about providing something different and better than your average kebab shop burger . Loved the menu and their courage to try different renditions of a smashed burger . Freshly made and well thought out. We’ll be back for sure . Taste was excellent, presentation was immaculate and well built and wrapped . Everything about this burger was fresh and quality . Other side items looked very promising. Can’t fault the service and the passion of the owner shows through his enthusiasm and customer interaction. Definitely open to experiencing and exploring other menu explorations.”
