Great food. Well presented. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Also love the decor inside and out too. Loved the 'beach chalet' tables outside. All added to the great atmosphere of the place. Our Curry Club had a great evening there. Will definitely go again. Very highly recommended. Stuffed after our visit this evening. Time to sleep it off. Haha! Matt read more

The Oyster Catcher - Seafood Near Me - Rhosneigr, AGY

I so wanted to give the Oyster Catcher a good review, but in the end it's going to get an overly generous three stars, and here's why... Anglesey is not the most gastronomic of places, so when we stumbled across the Oyster Catcher we were pleasantly surprised. The massive, modern building loomed out of the sea mist and immediately we decided to pull over and investigate. The building itself was designed Haf Haus, a German company famed for its large, glass-fronted, environmentally friendly buildings. It really stands out, particularly on an island which still boasts mainly 60's architecture! The building itself boasts a bar, cafe and restaurant so we decided to stop for lunch. The Oyster Catcher is the brainchild of the Timpson Family, more famous for shoe repairs than fine dining! However, they decided to set up the OC as a chefs academy to help young unemployed people on the island, the idea originally stemming from a visit to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant in London. With this kind of motivation behind the project and a fantastic building to boot, I was really excited about our lunch here. The menu was large and varied, and many of the dishes were designed and cooked by the cadets. Some of the servers were a little shy but there was obviously some more experienced staff to keep the cadets in check. We started with some focaccia bread and a glass of wine each and all was looking good. However, the mains were a bit of a let down. I went for the mackerel with parsley mash and tomato and mussel casserole. It was fairly tasty but not massive in size. My partner went for one of the specials, the plaice with new potatoes. When it arrived it came as a giant bowl of spuds and a tiny fish. A bit bemused, my boyf went ahead and ate the first side (it took three mouthfuls) but when he turned the fish over there was nothing on the other side! A £13 main dish gone in three bites?? - this can't be right! When the waitress came to clear our plates we mentioned that the fish was very small and on top of this, something had obviously gone wrong in the cooking as one side was missing completely and someone had obviously tried to cover this up by serving it the other way up! We were very polite about our complaint, wanting to feedback to the trainee chefs more than anything. The waitress said she would feedback to the kitchen and the mistake would be rectified in the bill. We didn't get a response, which to be honest I was expecting, and when we finally got someones attention for the bill, we found that 10% had been knocked off his dish alone. A gesture I guess, but not really an appropriate one. I don't often complain in restaurants, and when I do I'm not necessarily expecting this to be reflected in the bill, but some feedback and explanation from the kitchen would have been appreciated. We left feeling a little disappointed as I had really wanted to love this place. I would certainly give it another chance, and urge other people to do the same as what they are trying to achieve here is fantastic, but at the same time, they need to provide better food and service if they want to sustain this project over the long term. read more

Oyster Catcher is a really attractive bar/restaurant of Huf Haus design which means panoramic views through it's huge windows - it's great to feel like you're sitting in sea and sky! They have some very cute little beach house tables out on the top balcony which have heaters. The downstairs bar is also quite cosy. I think they have some good local ale on tap, those drinking it seemed keen. My Bloody Mary wasn't the world's best but zapped my headache so that was useful! The food is supposed to be decent if not outstanding and on the whole this is worth travelling to if you're on Anglesey just for the setting. Staff very nice too. read more

Really nice building and interior decor and in a great location, sadly food is on par with something at weather spoons. Shame really.

As an american with a dairy allergy, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Oyster Catcher very accommodating, unlike many places I visited in Wales. Everyone in my party was pleased with their entree choice. Will definitely be returning here!! read more
