Great to return as see the old place now it's rebuilt following the fire 2 years ago. Just as excellent as previously with the added bonus of being better set out without soiling the experience of a fisherman's hut.

We have been to Sole Bay several times and it was good to go back after it reopened after the fire. The staff were friendly and you know that all food is freshly cooked. We will certainly return.
