They said: "The best Indian takeaway in town, have tried 2 others but sorry no they don't come anywhere near the quality nor quantity of The Cottage."

"This place was recommended to us years ago when on a Sunday it was the only place open and how glad we were that it was, always consistently good with flavour, choice and portion sizes and the Naan breads are totally lush.

"The Chicken Pathia is my fave, let's your mouth know it's awake lol the rice is perfect and flavoursome"
