"Visited Polish Kitchen this evening for a family birthday. There is seating inside but it’s best to book. We ordered our food and drinks, everything arrived promptly. Our starters were the kielbasa delicious with hunks of bread and mustard, smoked salmon and potato pancakes fresh, tasty pancakes with a decent helping of smoked salmon on top, and the black pudding with bread and sour cucumber delicious. Main courses were bigos and mash rich, tasty, full of flavour, pierogi’s which were surprisingly light and delicious two of us had these and we both added salt and pepper but I appreciate this is a personal choice, the brigands pancake was huge! a massive potato pancake with beef stew and fresh salads. We were tasting one another’s dishes and everything was delicious. One of us had the ham hock and it was a vast hunk of meat, tender, rich, falling off of the bone with cabbage alongside. We finished with warm Polish apple pie with ice cream, custard and cream. Wow! is all I can say. Everything was accompanied by a selection of Polish beer which I’m told was very good too. I honestly can’t recommend Polish Kitchen enough. Give it a go, you’ll get friendly service, damn good home cooked food, and you’ll leave with a full belly and be pleasantly surprised at the price."

"The attached pub had a cozy atmosphere with lovely decor. The food was exceptional, accompanied by a nice selection of wines. Although it was slightly pricey, I felt the quality justified the cost. I started with a prawn cocktail that was generously filled with prawns and tasty accompaniments, followed by a homemade cottage pie featuring fresh minced beef, topped with creamy, cheesy potatoes. For dessert, I enjoyed a delightful creamy salted caramel ice cream, although there were even more indulgent options available. I finished with a rich cup of coffee. I slept soundly in the very comfortable bed with good quality sheets, though I would have appreciated pillow protectors. The breakfast matched the quality of the dinner—great ingredients well prepared—except for the poached eggs, which were lukewarm in the center, likely pre-cooked and not warmed long enough. I often feel frustrated when a place is so close to excellence but falls short due to a few missteps. For example, the room was cold upon arrival, as the underfloor heating hadn’t been pre-heated. The receptionist pointed out the controls, but everyone knows it takes time to warm up. I also encountered a leaking shower, which spilled water over the floor. After dealing with the mess, I discovered a sign hidden behind the soap dishes indicating the shower tray had a plug and could overflow. This concept of a shower tray being a plug was new to me, and I believe the management should consider replacing it with a drain-only system, as the water stains on the floor suggested this had been an issue before. After driving 400 miles and feeling exhausted, this was not what I wanted to deal with. Another minor annoyance was the flashing white lights from the smoke detector, which disturbed my sleep twice during the night. I mention these points in the hope that management will address them to ensure future guests have a flawless experience. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! The rooms were beautifully designed, and the quality of the food and drinks was outstanding."

"We have visited this Caribbean restaurant several times for a reasonably priced meal. Menu a bit limited, with several chicken versions , ox tail and goat curry. With the chicken it can be a bit hit and miss, sometimes a lovely juicy piece of chicken,...sometimes mostly bone, as was the case for my partner on this occasion. I though chose Akhee and Saltfish as it is more reliable, which came with steamed vegetables, black rice, and mac n cheese. I enjoyed my meal but it's a pity the chicken dished are not more predictable."
