    I recently had brunch at Gourmet Food Parlour, and it was a lovely experience! I ordered the scrambled eggs on toast, which were creamy and perfectly seasoned. The toast was nicely toasted, providing a great base for the eggs. To complement my meal, I had a mocha that was rich and delicious, striking the perfect balance between coffee and chocolate. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy my meal. Overall, I highly recommend Gourmet Food Parlour for a delightful brunch experience!

    Absolutely loved this restaurant! The staff are all so lovely, kind and attentive. The food is amazing, so fresh and big portions so you won’t leave hungry!! I had a non-alcoholic cocktail that was gorgeous. They have a vegan menu which is delightful to see, as someone who is dairy free- I have to have vegan options available to me otherwise I can’t eat so this was so nice to see! It’s amazing value for money, I haven’t a bad word to say about the place :) I will definitely be returning here!

    I eat in the stone house quiet a bit. And generally always have an excellent experience there. Staff are efficient, welcoming and very nice. Food is always delicious, if it's busy you might have a wait. Highly recommend The Stonehouse

    Great food and location and atmosphere. The service was good but we think the waiter was new so didn’t really know what he was doing!
