Wonderful Sunday lunch - the best roast dinner in ages. For such a large party (table of 10) during a packed Christmas service, everything was spot on and very tasty. The extra gravy, veggies and cauliflower cheese went down well. Thank you for hosting our family get together and looking after us so well. A perfect, proper pub.

Beautiful decor and lovely atmosphere. Attentive but unfussy service, topped off by an excellent negroni, good and well priced wine, and the perfect Sunday roast. Huge congratulations to the very clever team behind this beacon of light....hospitality done right, bravo. 5 Stars!

Second time eating at The Kara and it was as good as the first time. A warm welcome awaits when you arrive and it continues through your night. Cocktails are really good quality and reasonably priced and the food is incredible. Large portions which you can share and enjoy more authentic Mediterranean flavours. Service is quick and professional and the live singer and DJ later make it a fun place to be. Can’t wait to go back again soon.
