    We had a lovely drink and charcuterie tray at Johanna’s. Our server James was delightful, friendly and helpful- not only to us but to everyone in the room.

    Lovely little canal side venue in a quiet part of town on a Saturday lunchtime. The menu (which I couldn’t find online) wasn’t really for me as it was mostly burgers and fried food. That said what we had was lovely, really tasty. I would have preferred real plates and cutlery rather than cardboard boxes and wooden cutlery. The charcuterie board looked amazing.

    We had a really good time- friendly service and great food with big portions of American diner fare. They’ve only been open for a month so we’ll look forward to going back in future.

    Nice food, good decor, main host was a bit strange, nothing against them personally but the humour was a bit awkward. Would go back for food and drink again.

    Great food and service. The samosas are amazing, as our the mushroom, mozzerella and truffle oil chips. Great wine advice too.

    Lovely restaurant at the side of the canal. Enjoyed my solo cheese platter and my friends said their pizza was very good. I like the wine flights as you get 3 x 75 mls of wines that compliment each other.

    Lovely selection of cheeses, meats and chuckles. They also have a good array of different types of drinks. Staff are very friendly and it's in a great location next to the canal, what more could you ask for!
