Colosseo

Reviewed By Tartantitch - Scunthorpe, United Kingdom

This place is fab. We went to the restaurant for a pre Christmas family meal and it's a delight. It's small but contemporary with lovely staff and fantastic Italian food, served in generous portions. Usually I find one course to find fault with but couldn't fault this. Beautifully cooked and presented; the roast potatoes were gorgeous. Can't recommend it enough.

San Pietro Restaurant

Modern and innovative cooking reflecting the tastes of the Mediterranean in sophisticated surroundings.

Reviewed By Gartsar - Scunthorpe, United Kingdom

The buffet food was awful, the hair in it didn’t help. We were squeezed around the table so tightly you could hardly pick your cutlery up. The gin was good.

We have been to the jenny wren quiet a few times, and everyone of them have been wonderful. The food has been beautiful ever time and the belly pork is amazing! We came for my little girls 7th birthday, we're the inter time she was treated like a princess, which ended in the whole restaurant singing her happy birthday. A memory she will never forget and neither will I!
All in all I will always recommend anyone to eat and enjoy the quirky little pub and restaurant that is the jenny wren Inn!

We were looking for a Sunday lunch that wasn’t a boring pub carvery, and we weren’t dissapointed. The beer and the wine was good,and the food fantastic. We started with garlic mushrooms..... very tasty, and then had the fish goujons with chips and peas. The fish was lovely and sweet, and the peas fantastic. Hats off to Dave the chef, and the very friendly staff.
We had a great experience at an incredibly good price. We had never been before but would recommend this gem to anyone

Visited as part of a large group of colleagues for a leaving do and was really looking forward to it. Ordered from the special menu. Normally I love veg samosas but the batter was hard and almost chewy, not pleasant at all. Was ravenous though so devoured them and waited expectantly for the main. The mains came out and all the people I was sat near said there's were not hot. Normally the heat from the spices would make up for it but unfortunately there was very little heat from the spice either. I don't think I've ever had a bland indian meal until this one. Veg rogan josh is not normally bland. I would have sent it back but based on the fact that everyone around me's dishes were virtually cold they would have had to redo (or microwave) everyone's and I was very hungry I decided against it. Plus everyone knows us brits don't like complaining about our food! Such a shame as the waiting staff are very friendly and helpful. Won't be rushing back but will give them another chance in the future for sure.

Beefeater The Anchor

Beefeater opened their doors back in 1974, and were driven by a passion for glorious steak. Mouth-watering cuts at mouth-watering prices was their motto. Reassuringly nothing's changed, these things still drive them today and they always will. Beefeater believe in two things, a warm friendly welcome and serving incredible steak.
