I'm a big fan of the Dolphin, it's probably my favourite pub in the area. I've been there for a hearty Sunday roast, a midweek pizza (they have a proper pizza oven) and a Saturday night hang with mates and it serves all those purposes really well; the Dolphin is a good all rounder! They have a decent selection of cask and keg ales, a massive garden out the back with a table tennis and a few tables at the front if you want to watch the traffic go by, if that's your thing.

Our waitress was great. The pizza was well cooked ( could of done with a little more cheese). But you could really taste the oregano in the sauce, and the dough was delicious. The chicken burger was delicious as well. Chicken could have been cooked for a little longer, but that's just my taste. The one thing that got to me a little was the Gin. So a Guinness and double gin with lemonade was £16. The price should match the elegance of the gin. Gin glass , with ice and fruit. Not in a half pint glass with no fruit. It just didn't marry up. The Guinness was lovely and cold. I would definitely go there again. The Garden area was great and the staff were fantastic.

This is a lovely neighborhood pub. Staff are really friendly and very nice ambience. Great garden. Food is consistently good, best day to go is Sunday as the roasts are banging. Great pizza. But it's a place where you can't change anything that isn't on the app! We had the bread and dip starter which comes with a lot of dip but little bread - but a request for more bread - can't compute! Overall recommended.

Food is OK if a bit pricey. The staff are all great. The garden is very nice in the sun and large. No parking on site.
