Cuisine: Bistro/Mediterranean Brown’s is not strictly a ‘Cheap Eat’, but the food is fabulous. If you choose one of their platters to start and have a bottle of wine to share, it is one of the nicest ways to spend an afternoon. My absolute favourite food from Brown’s is their baked Camembert served with crusty… Read more…

Thali Cafe
Cuisine: Indian This is a traditional Indian restaurant with the dishes served on a ‘Thali’ – a traditional Indian plate. The food is the same as what you would get eating at an Indian’s home – no chicken kormas here. The emphasis is on big flavour and I must say, it is delicious. Try their… Read more…

Prosecco
Cuisine: Italian A lovely Italian restaurant with some of the nicest pastas I’ve eaten. If you’ve never had gnocchi before, try it here. It’s rich and soft, buttery and cheesy and lovely. Definitely my sort of food. Their tiramisu is lovely and creamy, and not too overpowering in terms of coffee flavour either. They are… Read more…
Flavouz
Cuisine: Mexican/Italian/Chinese/Indian Flavourz offers a delicious mix of flavours (rather obviously) for pretty good value. They have a huge range of starters, mains, sides, salads and condiments for only £6.95. I love doing this buffet as there is such a massive range, you will find something you love and something new every time you go.… Read more…
Goldbrick House
Cuisine: British/Bistro Goldbrick serves amazing deserts, and even better pastas. Try their specials board, especially for pasta. They are friendly, approachable, and the service is brilliant. Try their chocolate fondant in particular! Their specials and pastas are priced at about £8.00 for a main course, so it’s not bad value either. Definitely worth a try… Read more…
Mud Dock
Cuisine: British If you want a tasty meal for a cheap price in a good location then I’d definitely come here! When I say cheap food, it doesn’t taste any where near like cheap ingredients have been used. This is quality food with real hearty flavours. Their chilli in particular is gorgeous! Go Monday to… Read more…
Sands Restaurant
Cuisine: Lebanese I’d never had Lebanese food before coming here, but it was a really welcome surprise. I particularly like their Muhamara, which is crushed nuts, chillies, oil and herbs. Absolutely gorgeous but a bit smelly! An absolutely amazing thing to try is their smoking pipe, which sounds a little strange but is an amazing… Read more…
Carluccio’s
Cuisine: Italian Although Carluccio’s is a chain, they offer some brilliant choice and taste. They also try and source all ingredients where possible from Italy. They offer a really good offer of two courses for £9.50, which is well worth it as their tiramisu is to die for! They also do a mean chicken liver… Read more…
Zero Degrees
Cuisine: Italian Zero Degrees is a really unusual restaurant, but I love it. They are also a micro-brewery, with an open plan kitchen and you can actually view the brewery. They don’t hide anything and everywhere is open – I love watching the chefs, I find it really interesting! My personal recommendation from here is… Read more…
Glassboat Restaurant
Cuisine: Bistro If you look at the Glassboat from outside, it seems really expensive-looking and a bit daunting. Once you walk in, the staff are really friendly and eager to get you seated and eating, and the whole interior is just amazing. It’s really contemporary and innovative. Their lunch menu is your best bet for… Read more…
Aqua Restaurant
Cuisine: Italian If you go here, try the bolgnese. You might think it’s more of the same, really boring, but it is delicious! It’s made of beef, pork shoulder, and wild boar, and the flavours combine absolutely beautifully! It is the best bolognese I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve been to Italy many times. I suggest… Read more…
Rajpoot
Cuisine: Indian Spicy, flavourful, and really good value. I particularly like the building Rajpoot’s is in, because it is an old Georgian building full of beams and lovely old features. The staff are fantastic and the service is amazing. They are really friendly, really good to customers and it feels like a real fine dining… Read more…
Casa Mexicana
Cuisine: Mexican Mexican restaurants are a little bit different and that’s why I love this one. Casa’s is full of flavour and really good value. I love sitting there with a few Mexican beers over one of their big bowls of nachos, chilli, and chorizo. I love spice, and if you like it too you’ll… Read more…
