Been here twice now. The Food is really good as was service. The menu is garied with a good selection for all tastes. Nice layout, but it can be a bit noisy if full. The Children's menu is very good. Good selection of wines. Limited parking outside the restaurant which is via the ringo app but there is a road by the side of the restaurant that is free parking. Will be going again!

Great place, wonderful service. We hosted a birthday lunch there and the team were incredible, from planning to the actual day. The food is tasty too! It's brilliant to have this local gem in the area!

Another amazing meal at one of my favourite places. There is such a void in good restaurants in the area this really is a shining star. I was dining alone this evening for a change and the staff made me feel welcome and looked after. First time trying the Mixed Shish which is genuinely out of this world and the Turkish wine is fantastic. Visit if you are in the area, it’s never not busy and I live down the road!

Have been coming here since it opened and can honestly say that this is our favourite local restaurant. Always good food, lovely atmosphere and a great welcome and service from all the staff each time we go. Highly recommend!

Great place to have some Mediterranean Food! From the Starters / Mains and Dessert everything was amazing! Be warned- Do Not go alone to this place as the portions are big enough to share. The staff we were warm and welcoming and helpful, service was amazing. We were one of the first ones there and last ones to leave and not once did we feel rushed as they were waiting for us to finish our drinks. Highly recommend to go here

Vera's Sizzling Delights: A Night to Remember on valentines Day( my second visit) Vera isn't just a meal. It's an experience! My evening there was filled with culinary delights and exceptional service. The scallops were the undisputed champions, and each bit was a perfect dance of flavour and texture. And the mixed grill? Pure fire-kissed perfection, a medley of meats cooked to juicy, tender satisfaction. The friendly and attentive staff added the final touch to a truly memorable night. Vera has earned a permanent spot on my favourites list, and I can't wait to return for another round of deliciousness!

We had the pleasure of dining twice in one week at Vera’s restaurant. We sat outside and had cocktails. The food was delicious. The presentation was outstanding and the service was impeccable with a lovely ambience. Lamb chops are so tender as are the steaks along with steak and lamb kofta’s This local restaurant really knows how to present itself and in my eyes is outstanding. We have never been disappointed. I encourage you to try it for yourself Keep up the good work Amanda & Bill

Excellent restaurant with good food and attentive staff. Cocktails are also very good and made us stay for a lot longer than we had intended for a weekday night. Our new go to place.
