Hatch On The Harbour in Weymouth and Portland

Excellent, high quality seafood restaurant with tasty and beautifully presented dishes. Highly recommended if you can get a table!

The lobster and crayfish loaded fries were absolutely delicious! Great place to watch the people of Weymouth wander by.

A bit chilly sitting outside, but otherwise a fantastic meal. Fish and chips were great, a good-sized piece of fish cooked masterfully, good, hot, tasty chips, peas were well done, and tartare sauce was lovely, obviously made in the kitchen. The lobster roll was also very good. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is good, foods are nice, oyster is fresh. But price a bit high and space is small, only 6-7 tables available.

Great place for oysters and lobsters. Oysters were fresh, served with lemon, Tabasco sauce and onions on the side. I also got half of lobster and it was delicious, however, rather small. We came back to that place for oysters and will be definitely stopping by it again once in the area

This place has the potential to be wonderful but is mediocre at best and a shameful waste of money at worst. There are no sides worth having. No freshly boiled new potatoes, no interesting salad (eg. Greek salad, salad niçoise etc). Instead, there are 'crayfish-loaded-fries', which are smothered in cheese - horrible. This is a dumbed down, fast food version of a seafood restaurant. Ok if that's what you want, but don't get your hopes up.

Best place ever. cheap price, great quality of food. all staff's are kind. I'm looking forward to visiting again

Suffice to say, a bit of a tourist trap this one. The lobster had barely any meat although generally that's the problem with lobster, scallops pretty ordinary i thought. Thought the crayfish fries combo was ok though. They need to pad out the meals a little I feel, some veg on the side shouldn't be a hardship really, youll leave here still feeling really hungry. Basic drinks menu also, Premium lager turned up as a San Miguel can lol Think the restaurant needs to up its game a bit rather than relying on a Giles Coren framed review hanging by the entrance.

Worst and the most expensive fish and chips I've ever had. It was overpriced, tasteless and drenched in oil. When we've asked for children's drinks we've got served with two fizzy cans of apple juice and the "premium lager" is just a can of beer. 3 portions of fish and chips with two apple juices and two cans of beer 70£. Terrible. Poor quality and overpriced. Not recommending it at all.

Small plate fish based street food very tasty 👍

£18 fish and chips which were swimming on the oil. The worse fish and chips I have ever had!

Perfect seafood in a street food style. Table for two outside. Great menu balancing choice and simplicity. We had Scallops, half lobster, green beans and chips. Food quality was amazing. Atmosphere lovely by the harbour side on a busy sunny Sunday afternoon. We didn’t book so were lucky to catch a seat when we did. Service matched the street food vibe - pretty straightforward no airs and graces. There’s no loos here but that’s no problem, there’s public toilets just round the corner. Place is attached to a fishmonger which is brilliantly stocked - we bought some great looking mackerel to take home and enjoy.

Good value sea food, cooked to order. The lobster was fantastic.

Great Oysters, chips with crayfish tails, Lobster and Scallops. All delicious and like the street food concept. Only thing letting it down was that only wine available was a rather grassy Sauvignon Blanc. Would def have liked the option of a Pinot Noir and maybe a Chardonnay

Popped in here for some oysters. Really nice, tasty and fresh, oysters. The oysters were served on ice, and all nicely shucked and presented. I also had a beer to wash them down. I sat outside, which was a little cramped as it was quite busy, but I was only there for 20 minutes so it wasn’t a problem. Total cost was £21, which covered 6 oysters and a beer. It was pricey, but I think it was worth it, and a lovely harbour side view in the sunshine.

Perfect place on a sunny (or rainy because of the covers) Saturday afternoon. My aunt and I popped in for fish and chips, we loved the laid back atmosphere & attentive staff. The fish was excellent and plentiful, chips were tasty and I loved the sauces. Whilst there we scanned everyone else’s orders…and decided we need to go back for the loaded fries they look so good. Great vibe, worth the money and looking forward to my next visit. Only suggestion, would be good to see a picture of different dishes maybe..just so I could have ordered more haha.

Firstly I must make it clear this review is about the outside area below the main restaurant. No menu on the street you have to walk in and look at one on the tables. You then are asked have, you eaten here before, if not, like us you are told “ there are no toilets here you have to use the public one nearby and all drinks are served in metal enamel cups” I think it’s some sort of pop up restaurant and maybe that’s a planning regulation? If not then that’s the most pretentious thing I’ve come across! We both had fish & chips which were delicious but severed on paper on a tin plate. Just about ok with the tin plate but the paper was just annoying as when you eat, slowly the paper disintegrates and mixes with your food. The Spanish lady here severed us was very nice

Great food ,great staff right by the harbour Doesn't get any better than this

The whole lobster, apparently 700-750g for £45 had barely any meat... I literally had 4 bites, that's all. They were also serving a whole lobster 300-400g which comparing to it, would be probably like a prawn. Disappointing experience. Service slow.

As seafood lovers we come here every time we are in Weymouth. Treated ourselves to oysters, lobster and padron peppers. All delicious. Staff always friendly. Wish we lived closer.

Hmmmm my wife and I went to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and were expectant of a great meal. My wife ordered the loaded crayfish and I ordered the lobster. We were told to pay there and then? For flips sake I’m nearly 60! I’m not going to “do a runner” Anyway the food arrived my lobster had zero flavour and the tail was rubbery as it had been over cooked. I was bitterly disappointed. My wife had a glass of wine, I say glass it came in an enamel mug? They only had one wine, my wife said a vile wine. I ordered coke, then a couple of cans! Again I had to pay before I would be served? If you want an over priced, badly cooked meal that you have to pay for like at McDonalds but even McD’s care about you. Seriously give this place a miss

We had a delicous time at The Hatch today, stopping for lunch on our way about town. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of our crab, lobster, scallops, and padron peppers! The view across the harbour from our table was idyllic, and we received a warm welcome and friendly, attentive service from Anna. We'll be back for sure!

Nice snack bar with fresh fish and seafood at acceptable prices. The service is attentive and very friendly, the oysters are relatively large compared to the standard and the lobster is really juicy. Purist restaurant right in the center and directly at the inland harbor. Recommended.

The aggressive reply on this review from owner is all you need to know about this place. If you must know - stale bread in sandwiches, tasteless filling, no sauces offered. Peas were smelly.

A spontaneous and delicious supper on the harbour at Hatch. Whole lobster, barbecued to perfection and served with a generous bowl of fresh and homemade chips, and a lovely leaf, mango and pomegranate salad, washed down with a beer and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Reasonably priced (£30 for the lobster+chips+salad) and served with love and enthusiasm.

Came here for lunch, I got the lobster roll (doesn’t come with sides) and my husband got the fish and chips. We shared the scallops starter. Food was tasty and the view was amazing especially as it was a beautiful day. There was outdoor seating which was fine, and I liked that the tables had a spare blanket on the seat incase it got chilly. I marked as 4 stars for service as one of the dishes was not available on the limited venue, and I found it strange to be asked to pay when placing our order by the server, especially when it’s an a la carte restaurant. I paid £55 for 2, for a food order only. My only wish is for the menu to be a bit wider as I would’ve like abit more variety.

Situated just by Weymouth Harbour, the small, cozy gazebo/terrace provided a delightful dining experience. The seafood was notably fresh, and the oysters, which stood out as the highlight of the meal, were exceptional. The fish and chips were well-prepared, boasting a perfectly crunchy exterior and tender interior. However, the lobster, although flavorful, was slightly overcooked. The scallops, unfortunately, were disappointingly tiny and lacked depth of flavor. Although these minor shortcomings, the overall meal was enjoyable, enhanced by the picturesque view and welcoming atmosphere.

Exceptional food at a really good price. And really great service too. We had the lobster, which was excellent and all of the sides. The chips were really great. Can't wait to come back and dine again!

Great staff, great food! Very reasonable prices

Staff were friendly and attentive but food was sub-standard. The chips were unpalatably hard and the half lobster cost £16, was tiny and had barely two mouthfuls of meat in it. Rather disappointing.

Amazing lobster and scallops, would have gave a 5 star but they had no lobster cracker or picks .

After all hyp about the Catch we thought we would try the Hatch. Were we disappointed ?YES, my wife had the scallops, which were very under cooked and cold, we sent it back, the replacement was over cooked. I had the Lobster, it was very small and lots of pepper on it, why ? and no picker supply to eat it with. This is a pale imitation of a basic French cafe. We were so disappointment. We were told and on the website it stated it was not possible to reserve a table, but 3 tables had reserve sign on them when we left !. Also there are no customer toilets , you have to use the public ones, which are disgusting. There are a lot better places to eat in Dorset

What an incredible place! Simplicity is beauty and that is paramount here. The service from James perfectly compliments the impeccably cooked fish. Best oysters and lobster I have had. The scallops were the best dish I have had. Highly recommend.

You are paying scene tax when you eat here. I had the crab sandwich and although it was tasty there was not much of it for £13.50. Served on 2 flimsy medium slices of bread, no garnish, presentation was not great, No toilets on premises, you have to use public toilets around the corner.

18:43 Disappointed! My Father and I visited at lunchtime Easter Monday. I asked for sparkling water as I was driving but surprisingly it was not on the menu so had to settle for tap water. We both ordered Crab sandwiches which arrived with very dry stale bread and the flavour of the crab was overpowered by strong lemon. We were not given a serviette so we had to use our own tissues and were not even asked how our meal was!! I needed to use the ladies while I was there and was directed to the public toilets down the road!! Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the whole experience and definitely will not be returning.

Had a lovely lobster roll and tasted the great seafood chowder.

Excellent standard of food. Chowder and fish pie were delicious. Highly recommended.

I worked for the summer of 23 here, I met great people, and most importantly real professionals, from whom I learned a lot

We stopped for a quick bite to eat on our way around Weymouth Harbour and the food was superb. Service was great too. We had the mussels and the scallops - both in the most delicious sauce.

A limited menu of locally caught seafood served in a sustainable way by the friendly, welcoming manager. Delicious 😋. We had Crab Mac and Cheese, Mussels in a cream sauce and we shared a Crab sandwich. An excellent lunch.

Love this place they do the very best oysters in Weymouth (pool bay), love the way they have enclosed it, and the view. Now the bad points I’d love to sit with a bottle or 2 of fizz and food but the metal mugs are just so no no no and the second issue is they have a small menu not a problem but when you want something it’s not available sir is really annoying. All in all should be a 10/5 if you sort the small things. (I said it because I care and love this place )😘❤️

Had the best crab sandwiches and mulled cider I've ever had! Service was impeccable, a wonderful treat on our holiday visit.

This is our favourite Summer eatery. First winter experience for us…. It’s a low key restaurant at the front of a fishmongers. To cope with the winter there is a gazebo and blankets galore. It’s wonderful place. Whilst eating a gentlemen took a tumble up the kerb outside and every member of staff was fantastic. If you trip on a pavement you’d want to do it outside the hatch. They looked after him so well, they are incredible. The food as always is as fresh as you could wish for. It’s delicious. The seafood chowder and mussels were warming and delicious. Highly recommend for families, couples, anyone and everyone.

We happened to walk past one day during our staycation and spotted the lunch menu. We ordered scallops as starters then had lobster rolls for lunch. Everything was so tasty and fresh, really delicious! Would return again if we were in the area and would defo recommend!

If you love seafood, this place is an absolute must. We are here regularly and the food. All of it. Was delicious. The staff were lovely, service super. I couldn't fault it if I tried. Miss this, and you'll miss out ...

Impromptu lunch stop on the quayside on a beautiful sunny October day. A very warm and friendly welcome by our server. Chose a crab sandwich and a couple of drinks. At £12 for a sandwich it wasn’t cheap, but worth every penny. Very large slices of lovely soft bloomer absolutely packed with fresh crab, which we shared. Extremely tasty. Would love to go back and experience the formal dining upstairs.

Best crab sandwich in Weymouth! Superb atmosphere in perfect setting. Love the street vibes of tin plates and beakers and great staff. Visit regularly and never fails to delight.

Best crab sandwiches in Weymouth -superb service and great vibes - regular local customers and never fails to delight.

Very simple place to have very fresh oysters

I’m only referring to the service I had from two of their staff at the Seafest recently. I brought a large lobster, and glass of sparkling and I was kept in cue more than anyone else around me and then hand in a small lobster. And when I tried to say something the guy at the grill snapped at me saying is a large one. I wish I stayed and complained then. They kept me in cue long enough to be able to see it was even smaller than the medium one they were selling. I was ticket 136 and only when they got to 145 and up they served me. Plus I could hear the woman who was handing the food that she said a this is a small one when she got it. Then she look through the tickets and chose mine. Appalling treatment.

Pop in, pop out. On the go. Tis fresh and so tasty I miss the oysters... We had pulpo, lobster, cod (in a delicious curry jus) (lol) erm oysters white wine (I like the vessels ) that wine drank of : ) Street ok no frills apart from the delighted Californian host (first visit of 3). Beards welcome, toilets not

Casual spot on a sunny day, tasty crab sandwich and delicious cod dish, speedy and attentive service. Dog friendly too.

It was a hot day and I wanted a cold beer and maybe a seafood treat. I liked the look of the big fish tanks here and the bloke standing outside shucking oysters. As usual the oysters were quite expensive (£3 for 1, £8 for 3, £15 for 6) so I got three and a San Miguel. The Poole Bay oysters were very fresh and plump although one was quite badly shucked and had a lot of bits of shell floating around. I looked around at what my fellow diners had and was glad I had stuck to just oysters. The scallops in salsa verde looked miniscule and awash in sauce, and the half lobster looked was more the size of a king prawn. Lots of reviews have mentioned bad staff. I couldn't see any staff so I went into the fish shop where a man was filleting fish with his back to me. I asked if it was table service or whatever and he didn't reply or turn around. Maybe he was hard of hearing but I think not. The staff member I eventually found was overworked and slightly harassed looking but very kind and polite (Canadian? American?) Other downsides are there are no toilets and drinks come in enamel beakers. If you don't mind that, just sit in the sun with a beer and some oysters, look at the view of the boats, the water and the picturesque old harbour, and leave it at that!

Lovely seafood restaurant in the harbour area. Only opens April to October. Portland crab sandwich was beautiful. And prices reasonably compared to what you would pay in London for the same. Definitely a go to place for lunch.

Walked past so many times but today we thought we would give it a go as we always celebrate the 1st of the month with a meal out. Absolutely loved the food, so fresh and tasty. Served within a few minutes and looked as great as it tasted. Fair enough, there are not many tables, so you may have to wait, but the wait was worth it. If you want something different go here, if not go to the run of the mill pubs nearby. Would be a first choice for us.

We were looking forward to our lunch as we saw that Hatch was part of Catch At The Old Fish Market. Though unfortunately there were a few things that didn't make the experience quite as expected. Firstly the waitress attempted to wipe our table on arrival by scraping the menu across the dirty table, then lay that dirty menu on the table for us to use. She later returned to take our order with orange crusty residue around her mouth. (I think lobster leaves an orange stain...). We ordered cider off the menu which was described as 'premium cider' and we were disappointed to be served cans of Thatcher's. As Hatch is an independent local business we had hope to see this local business supporting local independent cider. So overall not quite the experience we had hoped for. The scallops were delicious. The lobster was okay but they ran out of lobster picks.... Quite over priced for the portion sizes.

When I came to review this place, I thought I would just be adding yet another outstanding review....so imagine my surprise to see so many negative reviews? My partner and I came here after a long day of coastal walking and it is hands down one of the nicest meals we have had in ages. Yes there are quirks to the licence which means no glassware - but instead of nasty plastic cups, you are given quirky enammel mugs...so what? Yes they ask for pre-payment but that comes off the back of several people doing runners and which business doesnt want to avoid that?.....so what? The food, the service and the location were all exceptional....we stayed much longer than our intended couple of Oysters and i am so pleased we did. Ignore the haters, this is a great place to hang out.

Absolutely delicious food. And the prices are in line too.

Went last year and enjoyed it. Went again today.. what a let down. The few tables were as ever full. Lunchtime, sunny day, management decided that one unhappy overworked Californian was enough to tend the tables. There was a table that just became available and she showed people to it, they were there a while and yes yes she was busy? They asked for the table to be cleared, she looked at them, rolled her eyes and gave them the “talk to the hand “ sign. Shocked is an understatement. The lobster was undercooked, squid had more garnish than squid, monkfish was minuscule. The grilled peppers were so old the inside was black. They were out of scallops at 13:00 !! How many did they start with ? The absolute strange thing was when I went into the fishery which is adjacent and owned by the same people and wanted a swordfish steak to be cooked by the one chef on duty I was told that is not “ALLOWED” . I then asked for precooked prawns to eat as I was still hungry, that too was not “ALLOWED “. Furthermore, they had lots of scallops in the fridge Shame on you. Two of us, £100+ and left hungry. Had ONE tissue each and we had lobsters and oysters. Though I was not beating a path to you, you lost a client today. Overpriced Bad service For what you charge, you could afford one waitress per table. Don’t be so greedy Never again

One of the best place in town to eat fresh sea food. It's an amazing street food place and an amazing concep selling seafood mainly from Wayfish, the old fish market. It's definitely a must try while in Weymouth.

Fantastic Fresh seafood - Lobster Rolls and Crab Sandwiches, and very good value. Great location on the quayside - under cover outside.

Popped in for lobster, crab and oysters with my 80+ year old parents, wife and toddler. They were very kind to let us bring some fish and chips in from another place, to help give our daughter dinner at the same time, then cleared away the rubbish for us. Just wonderful service which we really appreciated. Food also excellent, but this review is to highlight the staff on Sunday 30th July. Thank you.

Excellent oysters, very good service!

Ok, this restaurant is linked to the premier fish restaurant in Weymouth which is upstairs. Hatch is Catch’s outside cafe if you like. The crab sandwiches were excellent and our waitress was charming and obviously embarrassed by the following shortcomings. Although there are toilets (obviously)...

A lovely little hole in the wall, brilliant for people watching on the harbour. I highly recommend the Poole harbour oysters, almost too big to fit in one bite and the best tasting I've ever had! The lobster roll/brioche bun was also devoured in minutes. Friendly staff and quick service. Being small they don't have a toilet on site, but the public toilets aren't far from being on the corner. We were able to nip back before our drinks had arrived.

Lovely food, really fresh and cooked to perfection. Service slightly lacking, but overall a great place for local seafood!

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the hatch and enjoyed all of the food, which was delicious and great service. We would definitely recommend 👍🏼

Ordered the crab sandwich.. It was delicious!!

I was walking past the hatch on Saturday night after being out for my husbands birthday, when I walked past to see whether there was a table available I was astounded to find a man (which after asking around peers informed me was the owner...

I was not a customer, however I was walking past the venue at the weekend and I could not notice how a manger publicly spoke to one of their staff. The language and actions towards a member of staff was disgusting. As a family we...

Waited for 25 mins for our order to be taken but the staff kept asking us to wait and proceeded to taking order from all the other non-asian table that came way after us. Never felt so ignored and discriminated, by a street food vendor...we left without trying the food. Go to the fish monger inside and get better seafood and eat by the sea would be wiser.

Excellent experience and great location for people-watching. We came because the whole street was packed and the street food concept here made it fast and easy for us (family of 5). We ordered the scallops, lobster, oysters, brioche roll and pad thai. My 3yr old loved the pad thai which was served with the chilli spice on the side. The public toilet situation was clearly explained and we dined around 6pm so had no issues. Separately I left an item of clothing behind which Luke went out of his way to return to me so I am in love with the service mentality here ❣️

Very nice place with very good street seafood. Good service and a nice View at the habor.

Be aware if you visit after 8pm there will be nowhere to use the bathroom if you need a comfort break. The public toilets close at 8pm and this premises has none of their own. We stopped by for some oysters after 8. Unfortunately a smartly dressed waiter didn’t inform us of the lack of bathrooms until after we’d sat down and ordered. We asked if it were possible to use the bathroom at The Catch as the public ones were closed. They bluntly told us we knew there were no toilets when we sat down (they didn’t) and that The Catch is a separate business (same ownership, but fine). Take away the unpleasant waiter experience, and some more info on the bathroom situation then it’s a nice spot for a bite to eat. The oysters are fresh and delicious so we’ll continue to enjoy them as food on the go / takeaway. ***UPDATE*** - In response to Sean… We will be happy to try again at some point now we know fully the bathroom situation. However, I can assure you the situation was not mentioned to us by anyone before we sat down, let alone 3 staff members (we were attended to by 2 staff for a start & it would be strange if that many people talked to us about toilets). Perhaps this duty needs to be reminded to staff members. We had been to Quayfest for a couple of hours (quite a while?) and we collect the recyclable cups for guests to use at home. The reason my partner asked to use the bathroom after I was told to use the public ones (not denied), is because it was urgent and I asked her to see if they’d let her use the one in The Catch. We knew the public ones were closed at the point of asking. I think this is where the wires were crossed.

Seriously let down. Took an age for food despite being being relatively quiet and small. I enquired after all tables around us had finished their food. Informed there had been a mix up. Was really disappointing that they were aware but had not communicated. Whoever...

Busy night in Weymouth on this holiday weekend. Ordered two crab sandwiches to go from Hatch on the Harbor whose staff told me they "are quite good": 12 English pounds each. Unfortunately the boxes were quite light walking back to hotel. Disappointed to find two...

Stopped here hoping for a really special fish meal. I didn't like having my glass of Sauvignon blanc (only white wine offered) in a beaker but the wine was ok. Well, we waited and waited for 2 of the specials which was particularly galling as...

In Weymouth for the day and picked this place as we walked by looking for somewhere to eat, but avoid fish and chips and empty beer glasses like other places on the same stretch. Good specials board, likes the menu and good prices for seafood....

Did not disappoint! Oysters so fresh and delicious that even our 10year old son tried them for the first time and didn’t stop at one!! Wanted to head back there the following day for more but ran out of time!

Over-priced, very bland seafood (not even seasoned). The half lobster we ordered was very small and not properly cooked (flesh in the claws looked raw)...and NO Toilets! Such a disappointment. Nice location, but one to avoid I'm afraid. And once more, for effect, this establishment does NOT have any customer toilets!! In response to the owner's comments below: 1) We were not told of the lack of toilets before we ordered - perhaps your staff could do with some extra training on this subject. 2) We dined in and did not order takeaway food. 3) There were no visible signs (during our visit anyway) anywhere saying you don't have any toilets. 4) We've been fortunate enough to eat a lot of amazing seafood over the years and this particular meal just felt very poor value for money. 5) These are only our personal opinions, but we felt strongly enough to leave what is an honest review.

Very friendly staff and delicious seafood. I highly recommend it

Amazing food, we had the tacos, oysters and lobster. Loved all of it. The setting was great, with nice views of the water. Great service.

My husband and I were lucky enough to enjoy dinner at Hatch twice: once in April and again in September. We were there on the recommendation of our hosts at the St. John's Guesthouse at the other end of town. (We LOVE the Guesthouse and...

Every time we walked past I couldn't resist buying an oyster, very nice, fresh and served with a smile

Such wonderful food! And great cold drinks. I have to suggest the lobster! It was soo good

Fantastic service and Food will be back

Spent £75 for lunch and was served a frozen supermarket lobster it definitely wasn’t fresh and it was so disappointing. You have to pay at the time of ordering and they weren’t interested in our complaint as they had our money. Scallops and Oysters were...

The most delicious seafood dishes I have had for a long time! I would recommend the crab tacos

Poor meal very disappointing. The Lobster I’m afraid to say tasted like it had come frozen from the supermarket it definitely wasn’t fresh and it’s claws had been removed. Oysters and Scallops were nice and fresh though and the service was good. But still felt cheated as they insist on payment at the time of ordering. We won’t ever go again and I’d recommend others avoid. There are much better places to eat in Weymouth

The food was really fantastic, cooked to perfection. We ordered a good selection of the menu and it was amazing. Only slightly disappointing thing was the lobster portion, you don't get the claws

Very expensive for what you get, we only got a crab roll and half a lobster both were served with some dry salad leaves, and 2 beers and paid 45 quid. Barely any food and crab roll was cold and full on mayo. Only had outside seating, rather uncomfortable and there's no toilets either.

If you like fresh fish this is the place to go. Harbour side location. Great ambience and very friendly and efficient staff. The dishes are imaginative and delicious and prepared calmly and professionally in an open kitchen. We enjoyed a most memorable meal to celebrate...

Great selection of seafood! Definitely would visit again

Amazing food, staff was friendly, would definitely recommend and will come back. And the view is amazing as well! Downside: no restrooms and only a few tables

We almost walked by the Hatch and those wonderful fresh shucked oysters. So glad we didn’t!

Fresh produce, cooked well, tasted amazing! Had 4 Half lobsters, the calamari and fries. Bearing in mind we spent a similar amount of money on the typical churned out pub grub in another establishment the night before, I would far rather have the lovely fresh...

This place has a great menu and a friend and I went with our kids. As it’s a street eat venue rather than restaurant, payment is taken when you order, food is served in takeaway boxes with disposable cutlery and there’s no toilet available (but there are public toilets about 45 seconds away and they were in a decent condition when we went). Service was prompt and friendly. We ordered the crab roll, calamari and Korean tacos. For the kids we got kids fish and chips (they only do kids fish and chips) and ciabatta (one child decided he didn’t want fish 🤷🏻‍♀️). Our favourite was the tacos. It was all great but… there’s a lot of dill involved. It’s on the tartar sauce, in with the crab roll, on the garlic ciabatta. I’m not a huge fan of dill so that spoiled it slightly. But otherwise the food was fresh and reasonably priced. We all had a lovely time!

Arrived at the fish restaurant on the harbour . All outside tables ( that's all they have) had reserved signs on. We asked are there any tables available to be told that they were all available they just put them there to stop people just...

Extremely tasty food, great concept and friendly staff, what more could you ask for! I would definitely recommend and return to the hatch!

Excellent restaurant. High standard of service from the staff with great knowledge of the cuisine they offer on menu. Food has been perfect everytime I've visited and its nice to have a touch of class in this area.
