Had a wonderful meal. Sweet chilli stir-fry was excellent. Wife had Katsu Chicken Curry which she thoroughly enjoyed. Msg from my 11-yr old daughter: " Hello there...i am a child. i tried the Katsu Chicken Curry and let me tell you...IT WAS AMAZING!!!"
Very nice selection of real ales (Holy Cow was nice at 5.6%!).Lovely friendly attentive staff.
Highly recommended.

We stopped here for lunch before attending a wedding nearby. The food was delicious and the staff very helpful with our special dietary requirements.

We used the meeting room attached to the cafe which was really well set up for meeting of up to 20 people. It had projector and TVs which connect to lap tops as well as adequate boardroom style table. We pre-ordered lunch from the cafe menu and had tea and coffee provided all day. The days were great and we will definitely be using this room again in the future.

Good food, pleasantly served in bistro style . What’s not to like? Will I come again? Oh yes, I’ll be back and more than once. Defo need to try the Sunday lunch sharing platter

Nice surroundings but music was far too loud and really spoilt the atmosphere. Has the potential to be really cosy and welcoming if they just turn the dance music right down / turn it off altogether

What a wonderful place and we had the most lovely baby shower here in The Vault. Private space perfect for functions at a really reasonable price. Great sound system set up as well as a projector and TV if needed. The staff were amazing and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food was also amazing, we had the afternoon tea and there was more than enough so people were able to take some away with them. Would really recommend getting in touch and booking, you definitely won't be disappointed!

Very disappointed. 4 of us turned up for lunch today and when we were ready to place our order we were told there was no hot food. Half the menu was unavailable. If we had wanted sandwiches we would have stayed at home.<br>You would have thought someone could have emailed me.<br>Revisited on 13 October. Excellent meal Good value for money.

Me and my friends came here for lunch on Wednesday afternoon and it goes without saying we were not disappointed. The waiters were very helpful and the food from Ellis the chef was brilliant and the three people working, Tom, Abs & Lizzie were very friendly and efficient I would recommend the crispy fried chicken as it was very nice. We will certainly be back soon!

A relative and I chanced popping in for lunch on Sunday without a booking and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. We were seated promptly by our waiter Phil, who went through the menu with us, brought over our drinks and gave us some meal recommendations.
I went for the chicken curry and my aunt went for the calamari and both were cooked to perfection, brought out promptly and were well presented. The pub has a lovely cosy atmosphere, and seemed really well maintained. I believe it was redecorated earlier this year which you can certainly tell.
We are looking forward to our next visit and are already planning a family trip over the Christmas period to try their Christmas menu! Thanks again to the team who served us - we wish the new managers the best of luck (not that it would seem they need it!).

First time here and won’t be our last!
Whats great about this place is the ambiance, the attention to detail and quality of food. It beats all surrounding eateries as the food is freshly cooked and served by attentive staff. The choice of food is also great. From toasties to sandwiches,Wraps, soups and great selection of hot food such as pies and fish and chips.
There’s also a full stocked bar and the option of Sunday lunches . 10/10 …. And I’m fussy!!!! 👏

Just get inside... what a place, by day a hub, it can be busy and you feel relaxed, yet quiet and feel a part of goings-on. The best place for a business meet-up, pleasure catchup, just to get out or pass by and pop in over a really good coffee, restaurant quality food or a cheeky treat. Sunday Lunch is well worth the visit, ask for the sharing platter. Then by night transforms into a fine quality bar with a great selection of food & drinks, including locally distilled gins etc. They have rooms to utilise for functions too. Staff are professional welcoming, attentive, very well run and managed.

Decided to have a last minute meal out for a quick tea. Tapas was amazing and so were the cocktails. The waitresses were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Enjoyed the cocktails so much that we ended up staying until close. Highly recommend.

I visited Cosalea on Monday 26th September with friends. We all had breakfast here and I had the Eton Mess French Toast! All the food was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be returning.

We took my mum here for a bite to eat on Saturday afternoon. It was the first time we'd visited, and we were very impressed! I'd walked past it many times, and it doesn't look much from the outside to be honest, but I'm glad we didn't let that put us off. It's a modern, clean and well managed restaurant/cafe. It's clean, cosy and bright, and the food was delicious. The staff were all very friendly and I'd thoroughly recommend a visit. I believe they do tapas in the evening aswell so we may well pay another visit to try this out!
Thanks to all at Cosalea!

We landed back from our holiday in Majorca and wanted a meal out instead of cooking. We've been to The Victoria Walshaw and wanted to try here.
The place is lovely, really nice layout and staff are friendly. But, all in all it wasn't the best first impression - despite that, we will come back.
So; firstly when ordering our Starters I ordered the Black Pudding Scotch Egg but the Waiter put it through wrong as he was struggling with the small buttons. It came out as Cauliflower Bravas and I could hear the Kitchen angry, but, they did do my correct one. HOWEVER, when it came the Scotch Egg wasn't Black Pudding, it was just a normal Scotch Egg but I didn't want the awkwardness of sending it back. I am not too bothered but it could be worse.
But, the other starters were lovely (and the Scotch Egg was nice) we ordered Corn Ribs and Pulled Pork Tacos.
The mains we ordered were Gammon with Egg, Pineapple, Chips, and Peas although I didn't get the Peas (again, a little annoying) and my Wife ordered the Fish and Chips which was great and came with a huge portion of Mushy Pea's, so, I just had some of those. Great Gammon, really thick and meaty. Tasty.
We ordered a Coffee and my Wife got an Ice Cream as we had a voucher for £10 off when you spend £60. Another thing to say; not that it impacted us; was that they didn't have a lot of items off the mains and the staff always seemed confused as to what the Kitchen was doing.
Final note; apart from a few hiccups it was a pleasant meal and as I said at the start, it hasn't put us off and we are actually wanting to try it again.
