Cj's at The sanctuary in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My first time at CJ's. Great roast dinner (veggie option for me). Very very generous portions. Attentive friendly staff. Great atmosphere and surroundings. Would definitely recommend. The only issue is accessibility as the toilets are upstairs. The layout of the building also means there are lots of steps and different levels. The entrance is also to the side of the building so there is a slope you need to be able to walk up.

The Sunday roast at CJ’s at The Sanctuary in Falmouth is hands down the best I’ve had in a long time! The meat was perfectly cooked, the Yorkshire puddings were golden and crisp, and the gravy tied everything together beautifully. The portions were generous, and the selection of seasonal veg was spot on. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. If you’re in Falmouth on a Sunday, you don’t want to miss this! Highly recommend!

Very tasty & big portions. Good service. Really nice to have a big selection of vegetables with a roast. No room for a pudding!

CJ's definitely lives up to its great reviews and reputation. We visited for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The servings were very generous with a great selection of veggie sides; cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, carrots, carrot and swede mash, broccoli and parsnips. A jug of gravy was also provided, without even asking for. The ladies that took our order and served were lovely. A massive 10 out of 10 from our family. Price wise, very good indeed. We will definitely be back.

Amazing food, chef clearly has so much love and care for the restaurant. You never see chefs talk to customers, this place is something else!

The best roast and takeaway roast you can find! Boshhh

Visited here with family Absolutely beautiful food staff are extremely friendly service is fast will be back soon highly recommend ample car parking and easy to find

After seeing so many 5 star reviews we had to give CJ’s a go and I have to say we were not disappointed. When we arrived we were greeted by the serving staff who knew who we were immediately due to our booking. They promptly showed us to our table and gave us a free minutes to look at the drinks menu. After returning with our drinks they took our food order; I had the scallops to start and then the pork belly for my main, my wife had the crayfish to start and the large mussels (a starter on the menu) for her main. When the food came out it was all piping hot, so clearly had been served to us as some as it was finished. The scallops with chorizo, garlic butter and parmesan were amazing to the point where I soaked up the left over garlic butter with the foccacia that came with it (this was still warm too); my wife hardly spoke through her starter which means she is enjoying her food so you can assume it was just as good. Then the mains came out……I had seen a couple of others reviews that talked about great portion sizes, well they weren’t kidding, I had so much pork belly and it just melted apart and in my mouth. The apple dressing was beautiful, not too over powering but you could still get the taste of apple in it, the potatoes were perfect as was the broccoli. I struggled to finish it all (I did finish it though) due to the amount of food that was served. Would I recommend….. hell yes!! Well done guys, one of the best restaurants I have ever visited!!

A Memorable Experience at CJ Sanctuary – The Best in Cornwall In early August, my family and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at CJ Sanctuary, without a doubt the best restaurant in Cornwall. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, and each dish that came to our table was exceptional. The seafood, in particular, was a standout – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The warm hospitality extended by the chef added an unexpected and delightful personal touch. Not only was he kind and attentive throughout our meal, but he also took the time to show us his impressive collection of vintage toys, a gesture that my children adored. As a memorable keepsake, he even gifted them a magical pen, a timeless classic from the 80s. Experiences like this are rare and remind us that true hospitality goes beyond just good food; it’s about genuine connections and passion. CJ Sanctuary embodies this spirit perfectly, creating not only delicious meals but unforgettable moments. We can’t wait to return! Matteo

Booked a table at CJ's for an 80th Birthday meal. Having been let down by another restaurant in Falmouth we did some research online (Trip Adviser) to find a replacement and so glad we did! Booked via Facebook messenger as out of hours enquiry / booking, CJ's replied quickly and confirmed our dietary requirements could easily be met with a wide choice of freshly prepared dishes. On arrival there was a banner and balloons set up which were a really nice surprise, a great personal touch! The service was excellent by all staff, the food was really well cooked ranging from Steak to various fish courses and all cooked to perfection. The building really helps to set it out from most restaurants in and around Falmouth and although Its 5 mins out of town, it is well worth the journey. Would certainly book to go back if we stay in Falmouth again, thank you to all the staff for making our evening so special!

Quirky interior with the vintage toys. But food was amazing, would highly recommend. Staff pleasant and helpful Reasonably priced and good portions. The scallops, steak and seafood linguine were excellent

Visited on a Saturday evening. Had the scallops followed by a steak which were both truly delicious and cooked to perfection!!!. Tried a mouthful of my friends seafood linguine which ws equally as tasty. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Will definitely visit again.

A recommendation afforded to us as somewhere to be able to have gluten-free dining. We were not disappointed. Friendly, smiling staff, despite being short-staffed started our visit off wonderfully. The building itself has character, as I believe that it was previously a church, and is also spacious. Large tables for three people or more are available to sit at. The Sanctuary was buzzing with chitter-chatter, but not to the point of being loud. It seems to very popular amongst the local community, and it is definitely something that needs to be booked. As we knew what we wanted, we ordered the roast, only to provided with three options; small (one meat selection), medium (2 meats) and yes, you guessed it, large, which is 3 meats. It comes with a decent-sized Yorkshire pudding and roast spuds. The platter provided had a gravy boat, brimming with gravy made on site, roasted carrots, carrot/swede mixed mash, red cabbage, broccoli, parsnip & cauliflower cheese. And it was quite possibly the best roast dinner outside of the home environment that I've ever had. The staff knew more about dietary restrictions than at any other restaurant I've been to. They didn't just lump an allergen sheet our way, but went through what could and couldn't be done. The chef has a gluten free son, which meant every care had been taken to ensure that foods were made specifically like that. The only downside is a lack of available parking, but that isn't strictly the restaurants fault. Amazing value for money. We finished at around 14:45 and only at 08:30 the next morning am I getting hungry! Definitely give it a look!

Best roast we have had and we have tried many, fresh lovely food, great portions, generous meat slices and fabulous service! This is where we will go in the future. 🌟

Previously been for roasts and finally got to try the normal menu on a Saturday evening with my partner. We shared mussels and scallops to start and shared sirloin and garlic and chorizo lobster all of which we're truly fantastic and catered for my coeliac partner without any disruption to the quality of the dishes. Slightly dimmer lights and a more evening chill vibe music and we couldn't fault our evening but q suggestion more than a complaint! Attentive and friendly service, can't wait to come back!

Group of x5. Unassuming but a real gem with a chef interested in his customers & who knows how to deliver good quality food. I would have loved to have experienced the Sunday roast.

The food here is so nice and the staff are really lovely too . They all (including the chef) gave a little bit of their time to talk to us . I highly recommend eating here

What a gem! We went for dinner with our two corgis and was blown away by every aspect of the restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and the service was impeccable. Me and my friend have a couple of decades combined in the hospitality industry and we haven’t had service that great in a long time. They all didn’t mind our tired dogs and said hello to them too. The menu had so much to choose from, we went for the Camembert to start which was delicious, hot and gooey. I had the mushroom linguine which was cooked to perfection and my friend had the mussels, which got the French seal of approval. The atmosphere was welcoming and warm, the building is beautiful and the prices are insanely reasonable. In London we would have paid double what we paid here, with no drop in quality at all. If you’re considering going to CJs, don’t think, just go! Plenty of parking too! I can’t recommend it enough :)

What you need to appreciate with this restaurant is the real magic is what is served on the plate. I’m a big foodie and I was nothing short of delighted. Myself and my wife shared the fruits of Cornwall platter with an extra side of bread while my daughters had the crayfish, muscle linguine which is flavoured with Thai spice. My eldest is not a fan of spice and the chef very kindly made a garlic butter cream sauce for her instead. They’re incredibly accommodating and the food is on another level. Talk about fresh….incredible. If I come to the area again it will not be without a visit to CJ’s. Fantastic

We had two types of main dish, linguine and sea food which was great, good taste, large portion and Lobster very nice. Good wine and very friendly service.

The food is lovely the staff are very friendly my only downfall and it’s a first is when I asked for a small plate for my 11 month old to have some food off (MY) plate which I’m already paying for to be told I have to pay for the plate as it’s class as another meal ?? Which I thought was absolutely ridiculous I’ve never been charged in other restaurants for this, :-(

We turned up as a group of 8 having not pre-booked. Honestly I thought we would be lucky to get in, but we had just missed the lunch rush I think! We had the most fantastic Sunday roast. Everything was hot and fresh. They veges had a nice crunch to them (not mushy!) and the meats were delicious. The portions were amazing. Overall, absolutely loved our meal there! Thanks very much!

The food here is always amazing; the regular menu is varied and the specials are always delicious - you can’t go wrong with their Sunday roast too! It’s tucked away off the beaten track but so worth a visit. Definitely value for money! Decor is eclectic but I think that adds to the charm!!

We had a lovely evening meal here. The food was amazing, service perfect and the collection of star wars memorabilia will delight many a husband I'm sure 😀

Found a gem here on Google. The fish and mussels were great. Keep it up. Matthias and Baerbel from Germany

This is our 2nd visit to CJ's at the santury even if it's a bit out of Falmouth at Budock water. The food is excellent so I phone Paul (the Chef) to ask for the Lobster themadore for myself and my partner who has never had it before. We arrived at CJ's and shown to our table, funny enough same table we had previously 2 years ago. We shared a starter of Mussels then the main Lobster came. Excellently cooked and delicious. Paul visited us at the table whilst eating and had a conversation with him. He remembered us from preciously.

Wow fantastic fresh fish, friendly staff very efficient what a find. Had lobster with chiritso and sea food plater fantastic

Fine, rich and utterly tasty. I recommend the delicious sea food. There are also some toothsome vegetarian options.

We were visiting from Dublin and found this place on Google. Overall dinner was delicious especially the scallops and linguini. We got to meet the chef who told us about the ingredients which was good, the waitress was also very friendly.

Been meaning to try CJs for a while, wish we had sooner! Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and enjoyable locally sourced food!

The restaurant has a quirkiness to it being in an old chapel. However the food was fantastic. The mussels were the best I’ve had and the pork belly was sublime . You could taste every little subtle favour which is unusual in restaurant food. The chef here is rather good at his job and even came out to talk to everyone, this is truely a man that is wrapped up in his work. A must go if you’re in Falmouth!!!

Really nice Sunday roast with lovely people working there

Incredible roast, good value for money and great potion sizes. Really friendly and helpful wait staff. Chef even came out to check on the meal which was a nice touch. Highly recommend for a Sunday roast.

We just had the most amazing food @ CJ’s the staff were polite and efficient, the chef came out to say hello which was a lovely touch. My taste buds were dancing 💃 😋. Scallops and mussels were cooked to perfection with lovely delicate taste. Roast Lobster for me and Lobster Thermidor for the hubby both cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. Homemade pavlova for pudding.. I was so excited to eat I forgot to take a photo before I scoffed it 🐷 Will definitely be visiting again! 👌🏻 well worth the money and is was our anniversary so why. It push the boat out

Every once in a while you find a place where the food is faultless. Visited twice as it was amazing. Hand cut chips superb, lobster amazing. Hake delicious, chicken to die for. Cannot fault the food. This chef is amazing. It was a pleasure & dog friendly too. It’s quirky too so don’t be put off if you’re not into Star Wars !

It’s a long time since we tasted food this good. It’s quite quirky in a converted mead house with a collection of Star Wars memorabilia! But it’s the food that speaks for itself. So good we ate twice in two days and both evenings it was exceptional. First night we had lobster and sirloin steak. The second night we had baked hake and bbq chicken and bacon. Every element of all the dishes was cooked to perfection. The hand cut chips were to die for. This is top quality food at reasonable prices. The beer and wine are great too as was the service. Definitely worth seeking out, you won’t regret it.

A bit of an unusual one. If you go on Sunday it’s roasts only and they just tell you the meats. They didn’t tell us what we got with it or give us menus. You have to ask to find out “hidden” items like what options they have for kids. The food was decent enough and reasonably priced. The small roast is not small. The venue is quite odd with a mixture of old memorabilia. I’m not quite sure what they were going for but it almost works.

We ate at Cj’s at the Sanctuary 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences . The ingredients were top quality and very tasty . The mussels were delicious, served in a tasty sauce and with crispy bread ( highly recommended) my husband really enjoyed his Sirloin Steak , again he said it tasted great . I had the catch of the day ( sea bass) and really enjoyed it . The beef burger was good and Chicken with barbecue sauce , bacon and cheese was another meal my husband enjoyed. Paul and his staff were very attentive and friendly. We will definitely visit again 😊

The food was amazing! The service and everything was on point! The dessert we had was the salted caramel waffle and it was the best waffle we had! The steak was cooked to perfection! Fantastic restaurant!

What an absolute gem of a place! The food was outstanding. Five of us went and every one of our dishes was absolutely delicious. Definitely the place to go for the best seafood 🦞 Stunning xx And the service was first class. Thank you for such a great evening.Cannot wait to return x

Had an excellent roast today,value for money,staff were very good, excellent service.

Incredible food, staff were lovely. Visit this place if you can get to it. It's nestled away, but well worth a visit :) Will be visiting again! REVISITED twice in 2022, Food is still brilliant. We had Scallops, Squid (Lush), Seafood Linguine, And Biscoff Cheesecake. Simply Divine. Nicola on front of house and Paul the owner were brilliant. See you soon guys! Update 2024... The place is still top notch. Staff lovely, and a food was brilliant. Well worth a visit still 🙂

Awesome food, so fresh and flavoursome, the service was really good too, food arrived very quickly and the portions are very generous!! We loved it and will definitely be back soon.

Excellent. We were 6 adults and 6 children for Sunday roast. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Best restaurant Sunday roast I've had (far better than the Dorchester)

Fab place had a Tapas of seafood 🦀🦞🦑🦐😋

The best meal we have ever had. We came tonight and were absolutely blown away. 2 mains, 2 desserts and 2 drinks was £70. The seafood linguine was fantastic and absolutely full of seafood, and the pork belly was the best pork belly I have ever eaten. The chef (I believe also the owner) should be incredibly proud of the restaurant he had created. 5* all around. Genuinely the best meal we have ever eaten - and it's in a chapel!!

Such an amazing hidden gem! Really fancied seafood so looked online in Falmouth, and came across CJs. It’s about a 5min drive outside of Falmouth, and off the beaten track for the usual tourist type places. Let me tell you, it’s fantastic. We ordered a fish platter (wasn’t on the menu and not available all of the time due to demand) and shared between 4 people. If you’re going to book a table, see if this is on offer on the day, you might be in luck 🍀 We all agreed it was the best fresh fish we had EVER had. Scallops, Cod, Lobster, Langoustines, Mussels, Clams, Crayfish, Crab, Plaice…cooked to perfection and served with heart. You can tell that CJ puts passion into his dishes. Plentiful food and sides. If you want an authentic Cornish tasting experience, come here- get a taxi if you’re on holiday- seeing is believing. You won’t regret it. I am local, lived here all my life and I will not go into town for fish dishes any more after experiencing this. The only downside is that once you have experienced this, other seafood diners are ruined forever. The wine menu was perfectly paired with the food. Someone has put a lot of thought behind pairing wines with the dishes. All staff were friendly and attentive. Free parking available in the lot or on the road. 10/10 all round. Thank you CJ and we will be back! Also- check out the vintage toy collection near the bar. Very nostalgic 🫶

Superb evening staff were lovely and loved the fact that Paul came out and spoke to us tonight to have a chat. Food came out fast hot and full of flavours. Lobster and steak were superb and cooked to perfection.

We had a selection of fish( platter) ,BBQ chicken and .pork . All excellent dishes . Thank you for a lovely evening . Fully recommend.

What a find by far the best Sunday Lunch we have had out ever the Roast was cooked to perfection and the Eton Mess cheesecake was to die for. The portions were huge and the price was unbelievabley reasonable would recommend to everyone. Many thanks to all the staff for their hard work and friendliness it was a joy.

Quality food here every single time we visit Lived in Falmouth Cornwall since birth 37 years and seen this place be the Meadery for so many years but since it changed into a proper restaurant with Paul and Sarah at the forefront it's been nothing but fresh LOCAL produce from day 1 and it's family run through and through and thats what Cornwall is about local restaurants and the people that run it Does so much outside of the work aswell with helping with homeless in need of food Anyway back to the food ... Best restaurant for roast dinners sea food and if you want anything particular message Paul and I'm sure he will find a way of getting u exactly what u want And it's such cool place unlike any other restaurant u would of ever been to! MUST VISIT GUYS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Banging, banging and then more meat. Quality of the finest. Chef and staff (on point and a greedy bugger like me as for more and of course you can't finish it. Chef's kiss. 100%. Thanks again it will take me a week to digest . So I will be definitely be back. 🤘🔥🙏❤️

I choose this venue to celebrate my son’s birthday because looking at the wonderful choice of food he had a lovely variety he could choose from to eat as he is gluten intolerant. We were not disappointed, the food was excellent and very well presented and lots of it , the staff were very friendly and helpful and could not do enough for us. With having experienced such a lovely evening I can honestly say that I would highly recommend going here and I would definitely go again . Thank you to the chef for such lovely food and for the great atmosphere we experienced.

I've been to this restaurant before but this was the best meal I've had there. The scallops starter was magnificent. For the main course, my wife went for one of the specials dishes, plaice, while I went for a good old burger. My wife loved the plaice, and how it was served. I loved the burger, which was a sensible size, topped with blue cheese (my choice) and some crunchy salad, and it was the best burger I've had in years. On the back or two successful courses we decided to be greedy and had desserts. My wife had an excellent creme brulee while my sticky toffee pudding was to die for. I like high-end restaurants but, quite honestly, this was as good, if not better, than many a Michelin-starred place I've been too. We'll be back in the summer.

Just been to CJ's for a roast, simply wow!! It was the best tasting roast that I've ever had. The fact that CJ came out of the kitchen to speak to his customers was the icing on the cake to a brilliant, professional & thoroughly enjoyable experience. Well done all.

CJ's has some of the best produce you can find in the southwest, incredible, fresh seafood dishes and a relaxed atmosphere, you must try the scallops and seafood linguine! Loosing count of how many times I have returned here now and looking forward to my next visit. Super friendly staff and as a bonus, there is a big vintage toy collection on display for any enthusiasts.

Four of us dined out at Cj's for the first time since the building was The Meadery, and right from the booking experience to the food and service, it was all excellent. We had 3 courses each and each course was brought to the table in great time, fresh and hot. All food was delicious and, after a dessert that was on the menu turned out to not be available, the chef made something up for my wife without us even having to ask. Fresh, local food and friendly service. We would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Sunday roast! Lots of veg, great value 👏

I thought it's was really tasty and great value for money fantastic and worth every penny, will be back to try the other food on the menu

Sunday roast, table for 6 Great food, fantastic staff, vegetarians are well catered for. There was so much food we only ate 50% of it! Definitely be back soon

Really good food and service Crab claws were a highlight. The pasta in the linguine was perfect as was the seafood. Thanks for a great dining experience.

Three times I've been here. Three times I've come away with tummy pains because I've eaten more than I should!!! It's too good! This place is awesome. You won't find better. Portion sizes are huge and top quality. Locally sourced too. The flavours are amazing. The staff are so friendly and very attentive, even the chef/owner came out to see us. As a child of the '70s and '80s the display of Starwars and retro toys bring a warm smile and happy memories. Many of those toys I had as a child! CJ's at the sanctuary is a hidden gem. Don't ever change! Thank you one and all!

A hidden gem. We've actually had several of the amazing takeaway roasts they offer but had never dined in previously. The food was incredible and every dish looked amazing and tasted even better. The head chef took great pride in what was brought to our table by the polite staff and we were so happy with every course. If you haven't been I can't recommend it enough. If you have been you'll know exactly what I mean.

Great, little-known gem of a restaurant with a wonderful well-traveled local chef. I had the 1/2 Lobster with Chorizo and my wife had the Catch of the Day- Ray Fish. Both deliciously and creatively prepared. Scrumptious! And the Sticky Toffe Pudding was borderline sinful. Lastly, the ambience of a retired turn of the century church created quite a scene for a wonderful dining experience. Go check it out!

My wife and I decided to have a meal in the venue whilst on a mini break. Gosh were we gad we did the main courses we had and desserts were absolutely delicious and so reasonable price. If you are in the area I would have no hesitation to recommend that you pay a visit.

Second time we have eaten here and food was exceptional on both occasions. The fish and pea purea is to die for. Great atmosphere, relaxing and the staff are always polite and helpful. Great Chef.

The service and food were fantastic! Restaurant was warm but not hot, waitress was attentive but not overbearing and the food was very very good. Recommend the large (and it is large) mussels and Rump steak.

Fabulous food served this evening at CJs! The scollops were gorgeous as per usual, followed by wonderful fresh Hake, absolutely wonderful! We could not fault anything, the food and service was excellent… food was delicious and so fresh. Thank you.

Ordered Sunday Roast. Extremely poor. Frozen rewarmed veg. Potatoes like bullets. Hard and inedible. Meat was awful, couldn't describe it really. Wasn't fresh joint of beef where meat fell off bone. It was thin with no taste. I have never tasted anything like it

Went here for my birthday with my partner, his mum and a family friend. Had the Sunday lunch which was amazing as always. The plates came out full up with meat, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. The veg was brought out on a platter for us to help ourselves to. It was all fresh local produce and tasted amazing, massive portions and cooked perfectly. If you want a roast then go here as you won't be disappointed.

Yet another fantastic night with absolutely amazing food. Paul, the chef, is always on hand to make any tweaks to the menu if you prefer something different. Never fails to impress.

Great, affordable place to eat. Sunday lunches are amazing! Lovely staff and friendly quirky atmosphere make this a must-visit bar restaurant. They do takeaway too but I loved it inside this converted chapel which is now a shrine to, amongst other things, Star Wars. The Sunday roasts are super lovely and come with lots of veg and homemade gravy. I could barely finish the basic one-meat option, but you can upgrade to two or three meats if you are brave enough ( veggie option available). Wide selection of local beers also

Had sunday roast, loads of food perfectly cooked. 👏 Service was good. The only slight fly in the ointment was that we had an elderly guest with us so we had specifically asked for an easy to reach table, we were put on the top floor at the farthest end. I guess wires got crossed. I arrived later so could not do anything about it. The small car park across the road was useful

As usual the roast was gorgeous. Couldn't eat it all as they are very generous portions

Went to cjs for a carvery today, 8 of us. Food was amazing, on a nice spacious table upstairs, staff were checking if we needed drinks etc, at just the right time. Food was quick and plenty of it! Over all 10/10 from us.

Wow as good as it gets Everything great

Lovely Sunday roast with plenty of veg, in quantity and variety and a big yorkshire pudding. Meat is not off a joint, but very tasty.

This is going to sound crazy, but they need to reduce the portion sizes and increase the price! I had the roast with my family of 4 and it only came to 60 quid! The vibe is nice, music is good, very clean, very cosy and all the waitresses were nice : )

Closest you'll get to a home cooked roast!!

Had fantastic Sunday roast here.Food is great and portions are so generous.Great value for money and friendly staff.

This place is amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous! If you love mussels - these were incredible, as was the steak. The ambience was warm and inviting. Enjoyed every moment of the evening 😊. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

We wanted somewhere special for the last day of our break in Devon & Cornwall, so due to previous reviews we chose CJ's. What a great choice, the service & food were excellent. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic food and fantastic hosts and service defo going back

Beautiful Sunday lunch! Brilliant service, lovely atmosphere, on point with everything. Definitely be back for more 😋

Amazing meal! Two of us shared the fish platter and loved every mouthful. Many many varieties of fish, plus lobster, crab, mussels, etc. Add to that potato wedges and salad. Highly recommended.

We discovered this restaurant while staying at a local hotel, fantastic seafood, relaxed atmosphere, nice people, and very reasonably priced, the Lobster, scallops, and Mussells were amazing.

Friendly staff, lovely food. Great to see the 80's toys on display . You could easily pass this place without realising how good it is.

The stars I've left are based on how I imagine it would have been based on the other reviews! Just leaving this review to say to others to PRE ORDER TAKEAWAYS IF YOU WANT ONE! If we'd been eating in we'd have booked but didn't book anything as didn't realise we'd need to for a takeaway. But we should have as when calling late afternoon/early evening for a takeaway roast we'd missed out. Gutted, but will know for next time. Don't make the same mistake...

Just had a fabulous meal, celebrating my wife's birthday, one of the best we've ever had. The food was freshly cooked, locally sourced, and tasted wonderful. Great value too! Portions were very generous, and the service was excellent. We'll definitely go there again, as we didn't realise there was such an excellent restaurant so close to our home. Many thanks for a wonderful evening guys!

Best food . The chef is passionate and the family run restaurant is great

Hidden gem aside from popular touristic routes. We ordered catch of the day, scallops and mussels - all three were delicious. Good old rock music, very friendly staff, fast service. We’ll come back for meat and lobsters :)

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Convenient parking just outside the restaurant. Would highly recommend for seafood lovers. (Also, I hear their roast is pretty good too!)

Amazing seafood. Would definitely come back again. One of our favourite places to eat this holiday. Friendly staff :)

Nice place to eat, remember this place when it was a meadery
