    Lovely menu and specials options. Great chowder to start and the mushroom tartlet didn't disappoint-fantastic crispy pastry case. Finished off with lemon tart and cheeseboard, both winners. Thank you, we will be back.

    The smoked salmon starter and the sirloin steak + lobster combo for main was absolutely beautiful! The monkfish, both flavour and portion size was a little underwhelming, also a little unsure of the Bombay mix on the scallop starter...! Will definitely return as the atmosphere and buzz in the place was great, particularly in the bar.

    Great food in great setting but service seemed disorganised on 27th Dec. Barman didn’t know you serve kir royales, we were early and table wasn’t ready but host seemed put out we were still in bar area 10mins after our actual booking, like it was somehow our fault, nobody let us know. Made us feel unwelcome. At table service, Main cutlery was cleared before main courses arrived. No big deal but odd. Main waiter was a character and v.friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and thoroughly enjoyed sea food platter as a starter between 4. Lovely the birthday girl got a birthday plate of petit fours as dessert. Much appreciated. Potential to be fabulous but didn’t live up to expectation of previous visit.

    Rather disappointing visit. Menu looked promising but food didn't live up to expectations. Mussels had obviously been under the hot lamp to keep warm as those on top were dry and wrinkled, chios luke warm and mushy peas tired. Had to ask for order to be taken and took an hour for mains to arrive. Great view over the misty marsh but won't be hurrying back.

    Excellent food and service. Thought it was odd to add a £1 charitable donation to bill without asking first. I wondered what fisherman’s aid was and felt slightly embarrassed to ask and be told it was for charity. I don’t object and paid it but feel a more courteous approach would be to ask the bill payer first, rather than for them to wonder what an addition was to the bill and question it. Automatic service charge added too. That said, lovely food and service.
