Review - The Portland Arms Pub
The Portland Arms in South Norwood is a family friendly, dog friendly pub. Run by managers Kate and Rob, the team seems to effortlessly create a relaxed yet professional atmosphere and a good menu that caters for everyone - carnivores, veggies, vegans and those with a gluten intolerance.
Review - Martil Cafe
I’ve been in Martil a few times, the last being a horrible day where I just needed half an hour to myself to sit and think. They kindly let me sit on one of their outside tables with a cup of tea for as long as I needed. It wasn’t as busy as it usually is but even so, I was grateful for the tea that arrived without question.
