"Went to my sons 50th birthday meal. Arrived at 7 o’clock...unbooked walk in customers would struggle to find a seat....very busy....layout was excellent and the staff very attentive and helpful....so why only 4 stars instead of 5....the fish was excellent, cooked to perfection but the chips were hard...mostly un-eatable, and not that presentable....harsh I know but not impressed. The 3 strawberry ice cream desert was of poor taste...sorry but it just tasted and looked like vanilla...I really would have preferred to give it 5 stars as I don’t like not to...but there is definitely room for improvement to go with the organisation and waiting staff input. All in all though a very enjoyable night out."

"My wife and I booked a table at the Cinnamon Tree on Tuesday for the Sunday early evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I checked their web site first before booking as the actual date was on the Monday. Finding out that they did not...open on Mondays we opted for the Sunday. I telephoned the restaurant and made the booking. the person on the other end of the telephone repeated my details and time date ect. We turned up at the restaurant to fined it was closed with a sign on the door stating that they did not open on Sundays and Mondays. We got back in the car and went to turn around at the back of the restaurant and I saw a door at the back of the restaurant open. I stopped the car and went to the door and found someone in the kitchen. I told them that I had booked a table for that night and he confirmed what we had found out with the notes on the door. He then telephoned the owners of the restaurant and he put me on the telephone and I spoke to the owners partner and she said they have not been open for several weeks owing to staff shortages. I asked the lady why the booking had been taken as the staff must be aware of when the restaurant is closed or open and I had gone by their web site. She replied we haven't bothered to up date our web site and will not be doing so and have not bothered to blank out Sundays on the book were the reservations are written in and just blamed the person that took the booking in the first place. Her attitude was I couldn't care less. At this point I was boiling as I have used the Cinnamon Tree for many years and have always had a good meal there. But after this episode they can go to hell I will never go there again."

"Absolutely fantastic. It's only small but the atmosphere is lovely, the owner is very attentive and food was amazing.Was a bit nervous taking our two year old but food was available and again the owner was brilliant with him. The owner/chef was there alone tonight and apologised for the wait on food (20mins between starter and main) that's less than you'd wait in a big chain restaurant. 100% would return and definitely will be recommending it to family and friends."

"I have visited this pub on multiple occasions over the years, both as a student and as a non-student. As soon as you enter, it exudes the atmosphere of a traditional British pub with a variety of ales available. The staff is friendly, and the owner is a pleasant individual who always took the time to chat with customers. There was also a friendly dog who enjoyed being petted. The pub has a nice beer garden, although be cautious of the steep stairs leading up to it - holding onto the handrails is recommended, especially after a few drinks. Additionally, there is a games room where patrons can enjoy pool and darts. Although I have not personally tried the food, it always smelled delicious. I am aware that the pub offered discounts on certain alcoholic beverages for students on specific nights. Overall, this is a charming and welcoming pub that I would recommend visiting."
