There was one server working the whole place and he was friendly and efficient. They had a great menu and everything people were ordering looked amazing - especially the sandwiches and mussels. I got a Caesar salad that was delicious but came with anchovies in it (I know that there are usually anchovies in the sauce but it was a surprise to see actual fish in it in addition to the grilled chicken). We stayed here just talking for hours and it was nice to have a place that allowed us to do that. Definitely explore the surrounding town if you do stop here to eat!

The staff here couldn't be more helpful as they pushed tables together to accommodate our party and shooing other punters who wanted our seats. When it got too cold outside as the sun was setting we went inside and yet again, the staff were really helpful in finding seats for us all. All the while the place is packed with locals and tourists. Food was coming out of their kitchens a plenty. Lots of hanging kebab dishes that would give Oast House a run for its money and seafood. A great place, and every time we went past (day or night) it seemed busy. Shame we never stopped their for food, but everyone agreed that they would be back!

I had the king prawns with garlic and chili for my starter and it was superb - I think I could eat that plate of food everyday and not get tired of it and I know this sounds like hyperbole but it was one of the best plates of food I've ever had. It includes fiery hot red chilies so it's not suitable for people who don't like or can't tolerate spicy hot food. For me - the dish had subtlety, complex flavors and a spicy, comfort food experience with a beautiful broth. My husband had the tomato basil soup followed by the mushroom risotto, which was pure perfection. I had the tomato, pea potato cake for my entree. It was beautifully presented, a great option for vegetarians. I liked it but didn't love it, I found it a little bland. But I generally don't lean towards vegetarian food, I just wanted something a little lighter to pair with the prawns. The risotto - perfection! The potato cake, not punchy enough for me but good enough. We got the suggested wine pairings and that was super good and we shared a sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was divine - light, flavorful, perfectly prepared and presented. The whole meal, the whole experience was beautiful - I would definitely return to this restaurant, it was great!

Prebook in advance to avoid disappointment!…read more I booked this for our anniversary meal. Despite turning up on time we had to queue outside for at least 25 minutes with several others waiting for people to finish their meals. Once inside the waiter was super apologetic, and you could tell he needed a drink himself. The restaurant was very cosy with interesting pieces of art on the walls. A nice very traditional feel about the place. Anyway the starters consisted of various seafood and meat dishes to which you can size up as a main on average pricing of £7 to £15. I had the pork cheeks and himself the clam spaghetti. While we waited we were presented with canapés consisting of cheese and carmalised onions..the other truffle oil on crackers. These were a very tasty treat. The spaghetti was well made and the sauce light smothering the tiny clams. My pork cheek was super tender, and it lay perched on perfect mash, panchetta, black pudding, pickled onions in a tomato broth. Various bits of bread was also served to mop up this juice. Only criticism clam meat is sooo small in this country so not worth the battle against the shells for such a tiny reward. For mains I had the seafood special which was a bowl filled with mussels, clams, scallop, king prawns and longuistines swimming in a broth and fresh pasta. This was super tasty, cooked to perfection and presented nicely. My only gripe was I only had one at most two scallops. My other half chose the lamb which again was super tender, in a homely bed of mash, sauce and root vegetables. Super simple dish but everything was cooked perfectly. I was feeling quite full but the orange panacotta with orange sorbet was too tasty to miss. It didn't disappoint. Overall despite the disappointing beginning the service was impeccable and food really tasty. However I did expect a bit more in terms of creativity considering this was a Michelin star restaurant. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy your seafood especially.

Despite making the reservation there was confusion on arrival which made me apprehensive as it looked fully booked. Eventually we were seated upstairs and guided to the QR code to order . There wasn't a huge amount to choose from..burgers, couple of curries ..loaded fries. We gambled on a duck bao bun and a pork one at £6 each for starters..a sea bass with mango stir fried veg at £17 and a prawn massaman curry..to drink a guiness at £5.60 and a long island ice tea variant at £10.50. The cocktail wasn't worth it...save your cash..there was more icecube and mixer than alcohol . The pork bao bun was tasty but at £6 for one..lotus bun..feels like two would have been better value...the duck variant swam in zero sauce..so a bit uninspiring /dry. The mains..despite the prawn curry not looking great did taste lovely and I really enjoyed my sea bass dish ..Nice bok choy and veggies along with perfect rice. Then comes the pitiful mochi..I love this stuff, and was super excited to see this on the menu especially in my favourite flavours such as matcha! Ironically they had bothered to ask how the food was up until this point but failed to do so and this tastless plasticine crimescene.. nor did they genuinely seem to care once the feedback was provided. I.e rectify the bill.. Overall a slightly overpriced place with migraine worthy music and staff that clock off prematurely . The decor as well was on the cusp of tacky with stuffed birds and diamanté upholstery.. definitely not return..
