Reviewed By georgetheman
Cafe Asia opened a couple of months ago, replacing a previously excellent asian takeaway. The owner(s) spent significant time refurbishing the building, with a nice lick of green paint and turning it into a breakfast and lunch cafe, as well as a takeaway. We met the owner a few times who is lovely and very friendly.The menu was initially confusing; they started serving english breakfast and sandwiches, with a more asian fusion themed menu apparently to follow.We decided to visit after it had been open for a good month or so, as more asian dishes had been added to the menu.I'll start with a few positives, as I feel you need to give people their fair due:-the cafe is quite nice, with good coffee and a friendly atmosphere.-there is seating outside-free wifi-they have some interesting chinese/asian drinks that you might not get in other cafes, including cans of coconut water, various juices with jelly, almond milk etc.-the waitress was lovely and really did her best to make us feel welcomeWe wanted to get some dinner/light snack - we opted for some dumplings and a 'hong kong style pork chop with home made tomato sauce, egg fried rice and veg'.The dumplings were quite nice, albeit very salty, and a tad pricey (£4 for 4; quite a lot considering I get 8 for a fiver at Itsu)The Hong Kong style pork chop was, I'm sad to say, so awful I momentarily thought I'd landed myself in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.Other than the fried egg rice, I could not figure out what was asian about it; the thick tomato sauce had cheese(?) on it, tasted like it should've been on a pasta dish, the broccoli that came with it inexplicably tasted fishy, and the less said about the poor chewy pig that died for this dish, the better.The waitress explained that this dish is a big hit in Hong Kong - I'm afraid there's no chance of that here.So, the bad:-the menu is confused; is it British? Is it Asian? It also doesn't help that new dishes appear as hastily printed photocopies on the window, making it look like a cheap takeaway.-Though we should try more dishes to get a full picture, the ones we tried don't instill confidence.-Drinks wise it's nice to have asian options, but sometimes you just want a simple soda, like a coke or a sprite.-no clear distinction between the lunch and dinner menus - I've walked past a few times, pondering if I'll get something, but it is unclear whether some of these dishes are 'portable'. It also tries to impress with 'different' dishes, like said Hong Kong Pork and 'egg noodle wrapped fried chicken', yet lacks some of the basic favourites. Where is the satay? Where are the duck rolls?It's a real shame, as the owner is lovely and as I live near, want them to do well.But they really need to sort their menu out, and up the cooking a level.

3. The Watermill
Reviewed By S_A_Wills09
The Watermill is a traditional local pub serving some good beers. The new landlord is great and working hard to bring it back to its former glory and the changes are already showing. The service is good and it has a nice friendly athmosphere.There is great choice of ales with regular changes of the guest ones, soft drinks, wine and spirits as well as snacks if you feel peckish. It is pet friendly and families are welcome.They have a range of activities- pool, bar billiards, darts, weekly quiz on Thursdays (and good quizzes too) and live music some weekends, meat raffle on Sundays and sky sports on the tele.Previous reviewer mentioned that it needs a good clean and maybe this is something that needs addressing but by all means this pub isn't dirty or horrible in any way. I would highly recommend it if you are in the area.
