Walked in without a booking and got a table straight away. The staff were so friendly and relaxed, really made the evening.

Lovely spot by the river, great for a sunny day drink. But the prices for a glass of wine were a bit steep for what you get. Still, the view of the cathedral is hard to beat.

The gluten-free pizza base was surprisingly good. They had a decent wine selection to go with it, which was a nice touch.

Lovely Sunday lunch spot. Cozy and laid-back, just what I needed. Had tea by the fire afterwards, watching the cathedral through the window. A really peaceful moment.

Popped in without a reservation and they squeezed us in. The lamb rump was spot on. Their wine list had a decent Malbec that really stood up to the richness of the meat. The Thai curry was flavourful, though a touch more heat would&#39;ve been nice for me.

Bacon and brie panini was solid, good portion. The coleslaw was fresh, clearly homemade. Service was quick, which I appreciated on a working lunch. Fair price for what you get.

Loved the backyard seating. It felt so cozy and rustic, just the right relaxed vibe for dinner. A bit chilly later on though.

The chicken selects were spot on, really crispy and juicy. The sour cream and chive dip was a great match. Table service is a nice touch, makes it feel a bit more relaxed than the usual counter order.

Dining at Shaun Rankin is a truly special experience. The ambiance is magnificent, and the service is attentive, making every visit memorable. The food is consistently evolving and delights with each course.

Quick service even with a queue for takeaway! Food is cooked fresh to order, which I really appreciate. The staff stayed polite and our dine-in meal arrived promptly. A solid spot for a no-fuss lunch.

Been here a few times, even when it&#39;s really busy. Food still comes out quick, which is a plus. Had the steak last night, cooked just right. Good spot for a group meal.

Great quick lunch spot. Owner was nice and gave me a smaller pasta portion so I could save room for dinner. Perfect for a fast bite.

The lunch deal is a steal - two of us ate for under &pound;20. Portions are huge, honestly couldn&#39;t finish mine. Good, honest food for the price.

Delivery was quick and the food was still warm. The vegetables tasted fresh, which I really appreciate.

Been coming here for years, and the sandwiches are always fresh. Love watching them make it right there with the stuff from the fridge. Perfect for a quiet bite by the water.

The pizza was decent for the price. A bit sloppy, but they give you a free pot of garlic sauce. That sauce is the real deal, really makes it.

Fletchers Restaurant offers a delightful atmosphere with attentive staff who ensure that every detail is taken care of, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner.

Been coming here for years. The Channa brunch is solid, a proper change from the usual eggs and bacon. Their paratha breads are the real star - always fresh and flaky. Decent veggie options too.

I&#39;ve been searching for a good, no-fuss breakfast spot. This is it. The food was hot, not greasy at all, and the cafe itself was so clean. Just a really pleasant, comfortable place to start the day.

The sticky toffee pudding is so good, it&#39;s become my go-to dessert here. Staff are lovely and it&#39;s easy to hop on a bus to get to.

Booked ahead and glad we did. The lady who served us was so friendly, took time to explain all the spices they use. Really appreciated that chat. The prawn dish we tried was spot on.

Had an early dinner by the window. The food arrived on hot plates, which was a nice touch. What stood out for me was how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially in the salad. A really relaxed, simple meal.

The mac and cheese side was fantastic, possibly the best I&#39;ve ever had. The pizza and chicken dippers were also very good.

Came here for a drink on a summer evening. The food is made to a very high standard, had a lovely small plate. A nice, relaxed spot to unwind.

Stumbled on this spot during a wander through Ripon. The seafood pasta was spot on, tasted just like I remember from Italy. Huge portion too &ndash; my friend and I ended up sharing one. Nice to find somewhere you can actually have a proper chat over dinner.

Came with a big group and the space was perfect for it. Really liked the high ceilings and the way the tables were spread out, didn&#39;t feel cramped at all. All our food came out together and hot, which was a bonus.

The staff were so nice to offer to take a photo for us. It&rsquo;s a small thing but really made the evening feel a bit more special. You don&rsquo;t get that kind of thoughtful service everywhere these days.
