"This curry house is another great find. If you’re in the area, they have been established here since around 2003 and they gave the restaurant a full upgrade during the pandemic shutdown. The first thing that you will encounter is a lovely warm, welcome, and extensive menu, which, if I was to be a tiny bit picky, I would say needs to be slimmed down quite a bit. Our waiter was super helpful and friendly, he explained a number of the special dishes, so we made our selection, and as usual we overordered. Nonetheless, the food was good, I’ll give it a 4 out of 5 simply because, one or two of the dishes weren’t as fully flavoured as I was expecting. Parking: There is a council car park directly opposite, which is free after 6 pm."

"Avoid this place at all costs unless you are just calling in for a drink! We passed by here once stopping for a drink and saw that the pub served food it all looked a very homely style pub so we thought we would bring our family here for a meal one Sunday. What a mistake!!! We waited ages for a table which we had booked in advance, waited ages for our orders to be taken, waited ages for the meal to turn up which turned up without any veg which we had to wait a further five minutes for after the rest of our dinner had been delivered to our table. We had to laugh when they finally got round to asking us if we fancied dessert NO THANKS!"

"Friendly, helpful staff. Large, clean room. Dog friendly. Well-kept Adnams real ale. Good breakfast apart from the first day, when it was inedible after a long wait. The staff vacuumed during breakfast on some days instead of before or afterwards. I would also suggest that the chef and his associated staff do not visibly sit by the back door and smoke, which also drifts into the pub. Go to a private area instead. It doesn't give a good impression. Overall a pleasant stay, but please note my remarks for next time. Thanks."

"We placed a food order and was given a delivery time of 45 mins. We rang after 90 minutes to be told that our pizzas were being prepared. Two hours and fifteen minutes later the food was delivered. The pizzas were greasy, the chicken fillets were cold and the three portions of chips were luke warm. All required reheating in our oven. The dips and coleslaw that we paid for were not delivered either. We have messaged La Vita but they have chosen to ignore my complaint. First and last time we will use this establishment."

"We have visited this establishment on occasions whilst visiting Family in the area previously and were delighted with the food we were served. However our visit last Sunday 14th January 2024 at Lunchtime left our palates sunwhat lacking and underwhelmed. One asking if they catered for Vegans my Husband was advised we do Jacket potatoes we were seated and when our Waitress appeared I enquired if I could have the Roast dinner without the meat? I also asked the Waitress if the roast potatoes were cooked in animal fat? To both questions the slightly older Lady replied no and probably.. My Husband ordered the Pie of the day with new potatoes and vegetables, whilst could only ordered chips and baked beans after enquiring if the chips were cooked in vegetable oil. There were no desserts of any kind for myself to eat and so we paid and left. I am surprised that a Farm shop, Deli and cheese shop of this calibre does not have any food to offer Vegans or Vegetarians in this day and age. Personal hygiene seemed also to be lacking as we observed our Waitress constantly wipe her nose and not sanitise or wash her hands afterwards and continue to serve food to Customers!"
