Eat In in West Somerset

The Quay Inn, the old saying says "Any port in a storm" but, if I pulled up at this port, I'd seriously consider braving the storm. I wandered down the seafront on a glorious spring day. The sun was beaming down on me. Nigel the ostrich had reached Land's End and was halfway across the Atlantic Ocean. The old woman was still clutching the reins for dear life. I heard the Navy had been deployed in an effort to rescue her... Anyway, I was once again hungry and decided to call into the Quay Inn. I looked at the menu and was impressed by the variety of food. However, the prices of the goods were a little scary. But, I'm on holiday, I thought. So why not treat myself? I sat down in the window seat on the left-hand side of the raised platform overlooking the ocean. I read the menu and the specials board. I ordered a pint of scrumpy, and it was crisp and refreshing. I ordered the Halloumi fries as a starter, the minted lamb shank with mashed potatoes and gravy, and the belly pork for my main. I waited a little while, not too long, for my starter to arrive. The fries were awful. The Halloumi was horrible. It was bland and clearly cooked from frozen. The minted lamb shank was sous-vide, and bought in, in bulk. Everything was so-so. Don't get me wrong, the lamb was tasty, but it lacked any passion. However, I have to now sadly move onto the pork... oh deary me... It was drier than an Egyptian mummy. The center of the rolled pork was so hard and dry, I honestly thought it was a bone. It was so dry and hard I feared, as I chewed it, I'd choke on one of the splinters. I honestly think a woodpecker would have difficulty piercing the meat. Hell, I bet a bloody jackhammer would struggle. Quay Inn 2/5 (Danny and the young lady who served me, as well as the cider, were the only redeeming qualities)

On hols went in with no idea of how nice it would be ,all great service food atmosphere will be going again

The breading of the fish and ships was really not good (only greasy and without any consistency), normal pea puree/fries. No lemon. The sauces were individually packaged, the tartar sauce tasted absolutely not like tartar sauce. Very little choice in beers (all the kegs were empty and apparently nothing in stock), I had to take a bottled beer which tasted nothing good. Bar door open, it was really cold to eat. The staff was very nice despite everything, too bad!

The fish and fries were crispy. No queue and decent portions. Curry sauce was nice but gravy wasn't the best. It was watery and the server had to give it to us in a cup so it didn't "soak through the container." Kind of wish we picked a different sauce for our loaded fries which were otherwise pretty good.

Very disappointed! I’ve been visiting this Pub for nearly 15 years and this is the worst experience. Went for lunch and prices were averaging £12-£15 per item. The food we were served wasn’t worth the price at all. Asked for a small pot of gravy instead of beans for my kids meal and was charge £2 extra. Kids meals were £7.50 which didn’t include a drink and a small fruit shoot was £2! Most pubs do a Meal Deal including drinks and desert for £5.95. Absolute rip off with the standard of foot served. Will not be returning!
