Heights Hotel Bar & Bistro in Weymouth and Portland

Spectacular view from our table near the window. Delicious food, lots of choice on quite a fancy menu. They were flexible to change the potato element from truffle mash to new potatoes as I don’t like mashed food. We can recommend the sea bass and lamb dishes. Good portion size. Only downside is would have liked more soft drinks choices, very limited selection and I was driving.

We decided to eat at the bistro tonight as it is our last night at the hotel, we had eaten there 3 days before and had a lovely dinner. Tonight though was a complete disaster, firstly only two of our four meals were correct and the two incorrect were taken away, they were not replaced with the correct meals until after the first two were finished eating !! We were told that a member of staff had keyed in the wrong order. We then ordered dessert and sat and waited, and waited, and waited !! Eventually I asked what was happening with our desserts and was told that they were “in a line and were not forgotten “ At this point we had been in the restaurant for over two hours and had been served one course !! I had reached my limit at this point and requested that if the desserts were not ready that we would have the bill instead. One of the staff apologised and said that the chef had to get the mains out for a party of seven which arrived long after us. Eventually after some discussion, it was agreed that the drinks would be removed from the bill (a lemonade and 2.5 pints of cider Not exactly champagne. ) Such a shame as the food produced by the chef is well prepared and tasty.

Dropped in for lunch. Welcomed warmly, with no wait time. The service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. The food tasted good and was well presented. Combined with the fantastic view it's well worth visiting. They didn't have "John Smith" on tap, but apart from that.

As locals to the isle , we opted to visit the heights bistro for a Sunday carvery. Staff were very pleasant and friendly, the food lets the bistro down . Although plentiful in choice , the taste was bland , salt and pepper shakers a must … How can you serve roast potatoes that are obviously mass produced and anemic with not crisp to them is criminal. The pork was extremely fatty , beef bland and cauliflower cheese lacking cheese … The 2 rating is for the leaks and red cabbage … We don’t mind paying for food when it’s actually worth it … but £100 for 4 people is very high and as locals it’s a shame we won’t be returning. Don’t give excuses that you pay for the view ….

We only went there for drinks and to take in the stunning views, and we had a good time, with good service.

Quiet comfortable restaurant with excellent views. Service caring and professional. Quite expensive but worth it. Food good quality.

This is a great hotel; rooms are spotless and very comfortable, the Bistro offers amazing views and the food is excellent too (one tiny criticism; the evening menu needs a lighter option). What really makes this hotel special is the staff- every single person we came across was friendly, attentive and efficient. Special thanks to Belinda, she is an absolute treasure and really looked after my 89 year old mum. Thank you so much! We would definitely recommend this hotel and cannot wait to return.

Opted for the carvery which at £20 is overpriced. The carvery included beef and gammon which were nice but chicken portions that are obviously not carved! Vegetables were average although good selection. Disappointing food but amazing view of chesil beach and surrounding area

Really good Sunday lunch with family. 1st class carvery with decent fish and vege options alongside. Well cooked meat and generous veg, the usuals plus creamed sweet potato, delicious leek in mustard and cream sauce, red cabbage, all done really well. Generous desserts also; traditional Mess with meringue, open apple pie, banana split and a very intense chocolate pot, all recommended. We didn’t do starters but we really didn’t need them, if they are as good as the main they will be fab. Strongly recommend this, it was quiet as well, and of course the amazing view. Service was friendly efficient and unobtrusive

Visited with two couples and another friend. Under the hotel sign it says, 'Open to Non Residents' but upon entry we were rudely told we were not allowed into the bar and it was residents only. I questioned this and pointed out the sign and was rudely told that we were not welcome. Odd as the place was so quiet it didn't look like it could afford to turn away paying customers.

There really are spectacular views from the bistro. It’s a spacious area and the food is very good. We were served warm bread rolls while our meals were being prepared. Service was friendly and efficient.

Far too expensive given the standard of the food and the cooking. A great disappointment. In my opinion this is cafe food masquerading as restaurant quality.

Excellent set price menu and the food is brilliant. Staff are polite ,pleasant, friendly and helpful.

The best food worth every penny compliments to the chef. Have an evening meal if you stay try for yourself.

Lovely stunning hotel but the restaurant let's it down unfortunately! Set menu with mostly meat dishes and only one dish I could actually eat. Same with Mum being a vegetarian. Next night to avoid eating the same thing again we get food from elsewhere but sadly refused the right to sit in the restaurant to enjoy the views. It was freezing cold out and we paid for a hotel with stunning views for a reason. Watching the sunset was something we planned for Mum's birthday, but ended up going back to our rooms as there's nowhere else to enjoy the views. We would have been more than happy sitting in another part (round the corner away from everyone for the sake of their reputation) or using their plates etc, noone would have even known! Silly really but will probably not eating there again! Breakfast was lovely, just the dinner menu and the lady managers service on the evening of 4th March that were an issue.

It's just ok. Rooms a bit tired and curtains from the 80s. I didn't like the amount of of concrete internally and externally but that is personal choice. Evening restaurant food was ok, not brilliant to be honest and service v slow the night we ate. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. View from dining room sensational and breakfast was good, we would give that 8/10.

Good food and wonderful view of Chesil beach and the end of the Fleet. If you like ale, the Bass is the best offering, but served chilled. If it isn't fogy as per one of our evenings..

Stopped here for coffee and ice cream (Children) whisky on a coastal walk. Excellent service under Covid 19 guidelines. Fantastic views too!

This hotel has fantastic views and their approach to Covid rules was excellent making us feel very safe . Room with verandah was very adequate albeit the bathroom on the small side and everything very clean. No tea coffee making facilities in room although they were free in reception 24/7 . Not a problem for us as we were close to reception . The one thing that lets this hotel down is its food . Breakfast was adequate but the evening meals were a let down . Menu is uninspiring and cooking was not great . We ate there for first two nights of a four night break but had to eat out the other two nights . The staff in hotel were very good and deserve better than the food being served up . So much going for this hotel such a pity about the food .

Lovely food with stunning views.When we went only residents could eat here because of Covid - it's very strict on Covid preventation.

Always a good variety of dishes and using local produce. Great service, and good selection of drinks.

Went with my daughter as a cheer me up treat..Great staff amazing views.. But the lunch was dire.. Daughter orderd wessex burger and fries.. The first lot fries had to be returned over cooked and soaked in grease. Second lot not much better.aparently they are cooked in rape seed oil they taste fowl. I orderd steak pie.that turned up as a slice of pie which looked liked it had been reheated in oven.. The meat at sides was black.. Such a disappointment for the money they are charging was expecting top notch... Did speak to manager got 20% discount

My husband and I had a Heights Afternoon Tea today that my Daughter and Son In Law bought for us for our Wedding Anniversary. The sandwiches and scones were all freshly made, the mini cheesecakes just melted in your mouth and the mini sherry trifles were to die for. We asked the waiter to send compliments to the kitchen.Even on a gloomy Winters afternoon the view was still amazing! Friendly pleasant staff and enjoyable surroundings what more can you ask for. Will certainly go again.

Myself, husband, son and Dad were out for a drive and came in for lunch. We waited 15 mins for someone to even acknowledge we were there before being told there was no carvery left, only sandwiches in the bar. Very limited menu (4 sandwich choices) & had to go and ask for a child’s menu. Went to order (3 sandwiches, 2 cokes, a coffee and a child’s lunch box) and the total was an incredible £42!!! We debated cancelling the order but after already being there 25 mins and had a very hungry toddler we decided to continue with the order despite it being extortionate! After waiting 30 mins, I chased up our drinks (!) and after another 10 mins waiting, the first 2 sandwiches came out. Came with a very small side salad, and a tiny portion of crisps. Tried a crisp and they were stale. The bread was hard and stale. Another 5 mins went by and the drinks finally arrived - luke warm coffee. Finally the last sandwich and the kids box arrived. The waitress complained the plates were heavy so could we hurry up as we moved drinks out the way to make room for the last plate. All the bread was stale - there was a mug of something on the side but not sure what it was.. maybe soup? Not advertised as coming with soup so wasn’t sure and looked very oily and unappetising. We sent all the sandwiches back due to the staleness of it all. Opened the child’s lunch bag to reveal salted kettle crisps which are not really ideal for small children, and the cheese on the top of the sandwich had melted. When I pointed this out to the manager she said ‘oh it’s just where it’s been left out on the side’ as though this was acceptable! sandwiches surely should be kept refrigerated! She arranged for another sandwich to come out - this time it had crab on top of the sandwich and had clearly been cut with a knife that had been used for something else as there was herbs round the cut and no herbs in the cheese sandwich! Also, not great in terms of cross contimination - what if my son had had a shell fish allergy?! I waited for 10 mins for the manager to appear to do a refund. Only partial refund was given despite all the issues. The manager couldn’t remember the passwords so I had to wait a further 10 mins before it was finally actioned. A totally surreal and awful experience. I will never go back here and advise others avoid it too. The food hygiene considerations were awful and I will be reporting this to the environmental health department. I’m still shocked.

Excellent location with views over to Weymouth. See the Olympic rings. Coffe and cake, is an established afternoon treat. Very cycle rider friendly. Strogly recommend. July/August take the open top 501 bus service, and stop here!

Excellent sunday carvery starting at 1230 A full range of meats and vegetables and drinks from the bar.. Optional to book for sunday lunch sometimes very busy.

Popped in for a drink and nibbles after a long refreshing walk. Quick service, clean and tidy, gorgeous views, friendly crowd of people.

Dropped in for a coffee, and a piece of cake. Excellent service. Views to die for. Strongly reccomend a visit. Clean air, view the Olympic rings, and the Stonehenge substitute across the road. A long climb on my bike, but a lovely ride home!

Lovely food, great service. Ate with family as a group of four... service was great, food was excellent.

Firstly I must mention the staff who were very pleasant and helpful. The views of Chisel Beach were stunning and the setting was very clean & tidy. Didn’t eat but food being served looked good. Certainly worth a visit if you are up on the Bill.

Odd combinations, not cutting-edge just weird! Way too sweet sauces on meat and veg uncooked not al dente. Makings of a great menu just needs to be less zany. Too much pesto served in vegetarian options, not everyone likes it. Keen to try the banana chutney but served with chicken and sweet potato chips seems a bit scary but not in a good way. Good food done well minus efforts to be risqué may be a better way to proceed. Shame coz generous portions,good service and beautiful location should make it a destination eatery. An abundance of beautiful local produce at your fingertips could make this bistro outstanding

The Heights is a mid range hotel, the rooms are comfortable and have usb charging ports, tea & coffee making facilities and a reasonable desk. It is a little tired but here you have a hotel with one of the best views of Chesil beach on the island from the restaurant viewing area.

We wanted to try a variety of places around Portland and really should have eaten here more often since the one time we did we had a great meal.

Had a lovely lunch, the food was delicious very tasty and eye catching. Also the coffee is really great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view of the sea and Weymouth harbour is breathtaking. Definitely will be going back soon.

Just got back from another visit here. Yes, in parts the place is dated but you can’t beat the customer service, food and the rooms. I definitely had my seafood fix whilst there. Seafood platter for the first two nights and then the mussels the third night. Breakfast was pretty good too. Staff are brilliant, housekeeping very thorough and the bar/restaurant staff are very uplifting. Looking forward to coming back. :-)

Food in the bistro was great. Fab choice and lovely atmosphere. Jordanne was a great hostess making us feel very welcome and was very attentive. Room was a bit dated but was clean and bed was very comfortable.

Sunday afternoon tea and scones, Yummy! Awesome views from the dining room, info centre and map of Portland at Hotel Reception. Popular dining room for a Lare Sunday afternoon it was very busy, Elegant bar area, very helpful and friendly waitresses.

This was our second visit to the bistro for lunch and it is now a favourite location on our Weymouth trips. The view is spectacular - probably one of the best in the country - and makes a visit totally worthwhile. Food is good with a wide choice on the menu at very reasonable prices.

We were staying at the Heights Hotel for two nights, the bar and bistro/restaurant are very good with beautiful views of Chesil Beach most of the time. Good food at a reasonable price

We visited fo lunch whilst on holiday and were absolutely amazed at the quality of the food. Very reasonably priced as well! The staff were really lovely too, very pleasant and efficient. We really couldn’t fault a thing.

We eat here quite a bit now we are local, The Sunday carvery is plentiful with a good choice and always stays warm unlike some carveries we have been too, if we had to be picky the last couple of times we have waited between 20/30 mins for waitress to take our order and be told to go up, quite annoying as no one else is going up too.

We visited this afternoon for a quick coffee and cake. What a mistake!

ABYSMAL! Have been eating here on and off for over 20 years, more for location than average food though. Went tonight, car park and bar half empty and one table taken in an empty restaurant. Went to order at bar with our table number only to be told that they were only serving residents. Will NEVER EVER return and will tell everyone we know locally to do the same. Took our custom elsewhere and fyi our bill came to c.£200....your loss. Utter disgrace!!!

SPECIAL occasions deserve a special meal and we certainly got that at the Heights Hotel on Portland.

When in the area this is a must visit place it is the location of the British sailing venue for the Olympics .

Visited for the 3rd time on our annual trip today. Unfortunately and it saddens me to say it, the place has really gone downhill.

Although we are not all vegetarian, we all decided to go Veg for the day. Not disappointed, lovely food with a warm welcome. The ambience was lovely.

Visited the Jurassic Coast on 26/27 August and booked into The Heights Hotel as few were available that day.

Visited last week to have afternoon tea with my children while on holiday. The staff were amazing, really could not do enough for us. The restaurant was exceptionally clean and well presented, the food was amazing and again, beautifully presented. We will definitely be making the visit back there for a wonderful time with a wonderful view. Thank you

We decided to pop in with our dog for a drink from the cafe/restaurant area. We went up to the terrace directly outside the cafe/restaurant as there is a lovely view there and we were not sure if dogs were allowed inside. There is no easy way of accessing the terrace cafe/restaurant so we had to wait outside the fire door for one of the waitresses to open it for us before we could enter and buy our drinks. I ordered two raspberry and lemon ice teas which were £3.60 each. After ~ a 20 minute wait our drinks were bought out but were very disappointing. The tea was lukewarm without any ice despite it being called an "iced tea" and had no flavour. There were some lemon slices and raspberries in the drink which were quite nice but this didn't flavour the tea at all. Would have complained but too much effort to re-enter the building. We decided to take our drinks downstairs outside the takeaway ice cream area where it was sunnier. Because the "iced tea" was not nice, I went in to order a vanilla milkshake and was told by the man behind the counter that he was not sure if they did a vanilla milkshake, despite it being displayed clearly on the board in front of the counter. However after pointing this out he made a vanilla milkshake which was lovely, so can't complain about that! The hotel/restaurant is in an amazing area but prices are fairly high for the service and quality of drinks. Please sort out accuracy of described drinks and train staff to provide prompt service and knowledge of what is on the menu.

Came here on first day visiting Portland. Hard to beat views from the top here looking down at Chesil Beach. Cafe has good service and a nice menu. Downstairs has a separate ice cream cafe and a tourist information centre. Across the road on a Wednesday there's a market. Local alpaca walking groups often stop here for refreshments so you might see alpacas frolicking on the grass nearby.

Only 3 meals arrived out of 6, the 3 almost eaten all the meal ,when we asked about the other 3 meals. They had forgot, but in the end did arrived Turkey roast, veg was under cooked almost raw only warm and potatoes not worth eating. Worst meal I've ever had. They did offer no charge on the 3 meals but total spoilt the occasion. Would not recommend to anyone.

If You are reading this review please do not book this hotel.

Wife and I popped in for a drink to admire the fantastic view of Chesil beach. Prices expensive compared to what you would you would pay at your local and service was pleasant. The downside was that they had run out of crisps/pringles etc which was disappointing for an August afternoon and the long wait to be served due to shortage of staff which demonstrates lack of organisation and leadership.

Arrived as a non resident for evening meal, it was 6.20pm and the bar was almost empty, I asked for menus for the 5 of us, I was asked if we were resident, I said no and was told we had to get our evening meal order in within 10 minutes, not sure why. We had 2 burger meals, 2 Ravioli meals and 1 from the childs menu, Burgers were bland, served with fries in little chip baskets, little flavour. Ravioli was hard, perhaps cooking longer may have helped but that was also tasteless, child said he liked his meal. I will not eat here again.

We had afternoon tea in the restaurant in May as we had a family celebration.

Small selection of cakes and rather overpriced. I guess they think they can charge what they like. Wouldn't go again.

Stood at the counter for nearly five minutes with three members of staff within a metre of me and not one even acknowledged my existence. OK, one was making drink nks for someone else, but it was still rude to ignore me. Eventually placed my order for coffee and cakes. It was OK, but pricey for what it was. Only stayed cos of the fab view.

Despite the rather 70s look to this hotel it occupies a location that is really stunning overlooking sea, Chesil Beach, The Fleet, Weymouth and Weymouth Bay.

My girlfriend and I went to get a bite to eat since the establishment was only a 5 minute drive from the new house on the Isle of Portland.

The views are stunning. Staff were friendly and efficient. Nice to have a biscuit with the coffees. However, we thought the coffees were very small (and not very tasty) which therefore made them very expensive!

Stayed here for a weekend last September. Hotel room was adequate, nothing special but all that was needed. Food in restaurant was good. Views were stunning, fortunately we had a good weekend weather-wise!

We have eaten here regularly over a number of years and have always looked forward to our visit - stunning views of Chesil beach, easy parking, good quality food with generous portions, friendly staff, good value cafe/restaurant. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. We visited for a Saturday lunch and chose to eat in the waiter service part of the restaurant as there were no tables available by the window in the self-service section. Despite numerous tables being available, the staff member kept us waiting for some time while she completed paperwork before taking us to a table. This scenario was repeated with other customers and one who dared to start entering the dining area had the 'wait to be seated' sign pointed out to him and waited until he couldn't be bothered to wait anymore. The menu was inviting with some new dishes since we last visited and some regular favourites. We ordered three items, two of which were 'light bites' at £8 each (halloumi strips and jackfruit wedges). These were very disappointing - only 4 strips of breaded halloumi and 4 small wedges of jackfruit - certainly not worth £8 each. The third dish which included an egg mayo sarni, was similarly disappointing. In the past we have been given chunky sarnis with a generous portion of egg mayo; this time it was two slices of medium sliced bread with a small portion of egg mayo - again not worth the price tag. Whilst we were eating, a staff member was taking photos around the restaurant/cafe area e.g. of sliced cake. This meant getting in the way of paying customers - whether sat at tables or ordering/paying at the counter. We were surprised that this task wasn't completed at a quieter time when it would have made no difference to anyone. It was a great shame - poor customer service, poor portion size, inflated prices. It feels like management have taken their eyes off the ball. We shall be finding somewhere new to eat when we visit this area. (Apologies - posted this on the hotel review page before seeing there was a separate page for the cafe/restaurant.)

Always been a big fan of the heights. Always bring my family & recommend my friends.

stopped of for a coffee and the service was brilliant not expencive and the view was brilliant we go here quite often and love it definitely worth the visits

Staff was great, helpful and patient throughout my stay. It was a great experience and I will stay again, highly recommend to my friends and anyone going to the area.

Agreed it's a little 'dated' in appearance from the outside but, as we entered through the ice cream parlour and very cheerful lady pointed out that we could eat and drink upstairs, if we preferred to sit in the warm. The restaurant was pleasant, we had a lovely cup of tea together with a delicious slice of Dorset Doorstep Fruit Load; the staff were attentive and polite and the public conveniences were spotless. So, from a visitor, purely to the restaurant, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and view over Chesil Beach.

It has often been said, but this hotel has one of the finest views anywhere. We visited as part of a walking group on Portland for the day. We had pre-ordered lunch and parked there. After our walk, on arrival the bar service was efficient and friendly. Our reserved table was in a good spot overlooking the wonderful view along Chesil Bank towards Lyme Regis.

Menu limited but food was very good being well presented and very tasty. Portions quite big too ~ which made it good value for money. Service good too ~ quick and very polite. Excellent choice of drinks too. Best part undoubtedly the views foyer Chessil Beach watching the sun go down.

Celebrated a friends birthday with a lovely lunch in the dinning room over looking Chesil Beach. The choice was good, and was freshly prepared. The service was prompt and friendly. The dessert was mouth watery delicious. Not overly priced for what we had. Would deferently be going back.

Could not fault the food. Compliments to the chef. Breakfast and evening meals were delicious as was the cocktail.

Beautiful location let down by lazy staff who didn't want their chat interrupted to serve customers. Find somewhere locally run rather than a tourist trap.

Lovely friendly service. Amazing views. Very clean and tidy. Wife had bubble and squeak with black forest berries and goats cheese. I had the Portland crab sandwich with a side of tomorrow soup. Not cheap but totally worth it.

This is a beautifully located Restaurant and Bar to take in the wonderful sea scenes of Thomas Hardy's Deadman's Bay, the Isle of Slingers and the beach road approaching the island, Portland Harbour and Weymouth Bay.

We had reserved a table and were given a window seat. It was a beautiful day and the view outstanding. We were very impressed with the food and service. We will certainly be back. The lunch menu is a very good one and has a lot of choices. The Portland Lighthouse pudding was very nice, as was the Brie and Beetroot pastry.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful views, lovely atmosphere tasty food. Will definitely return.

We were blown away by the view and enjoyed out bar lunch sharing fish platter. My partner said the vodka mussels were great although thought potted prawns rather too doused in butter. Whitebait and crab were fine. Staff were attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back on next visit. Probably advisable to book during busy times.

We stopped here in the pouring rain and had a warm welcome and nice cake. The decor is a little tired but it was a nice change from the rain!

Nice hotel we went there to eat meals were very nice top class we had three meals all brill service was very good

Excellent Sunday Carvery. Staff are always smiling, happy and helpful. The views on a sunny day can't be beaten.

My Husband and I visited the Heights Hotel, Bar & Bistro, for the 1st time today. What a lovely welcome we received, from ALL staff. We hadn’t booked a table, but we were soon accommodated with a table, which had a FANTASTIC coastal view.

A Restaurant with a tremendous view over Poole Harbour, the Dinner Menu although not huge will satisfy most tastes, my wife had the Lemon Sole which she says was perfectly cooked although some of the veg particularly the braised courgette was hard & totally uncooked, I had the Sirloin which was cooked perfectly to my liking & was quite tender with a lovely taste, chips, tomato & mushroom were all ok & the Beef compote sauce very, very tasty.

Hand a lovely meal here in the evening and was seated by the window the view is fantastic!!! Staff were very attentive 👍👍

I am a local resident that visited for lunch. Food was lovely, reasonably priced too for the quality and amount. However I was extremely disappointed to be ripped off when it came to buying two soft drinks. £4 for a pint of Diet Coke from a pump is just ridiculous! I will now be thinking twice about whether to visit again.

Went for a birthday lunch and can only say we were disappointed. Service was slow and food mediocre at best. Roast beef was dry, vegetables cold. The cream sauce for the leeks was just thin and watery, whilst the cheese sauce for the broccoli and cauliflower was congealed and unappealing.

I live up the road from here so my friend and I go often. The place itself is lovely and clean. We have only been during the day for tea and cakes etc but never felt rushed, the lady on the till everytime really is very grumpy but that's whatever haha

I recently had Lunch at the upstairs Bistro and I would Never ever go again . I have had better food in a Cafe . I had so called Caramelised Beef more like stew , on a soggy tasteless Yorkshire Pudding . The Vegetables were served in a separate dish which contained waterlogged Sprouts totally inedible and Cauliflower which was chewy . the carrots were fine I think the Chef was having a laugh at the expense of customers who were frightened to complain .

We chose crab cakes and chicken liver pate for starters, followed by a delicious caramelised beef dish with roast potatoes and seasonal veg from the festive menu. We were so full had to pass on the choc/orange bread and buttter pudding we had looked forward to!!! Excellent meal, delightful surroundings and excellent service. Thank you chef

Stopped here today for "elevenses" whilst on a business tour. Fabulous view from the upstairs café but that's it. Two scones and tea for 2 came to over £10.00. For that I would expect edible scones, jam with some fruit in it and more than one little foil wrapped square of butter. I spoke to the Manager - she offered me a voucher for another visit (not a refund). I declined the voucher as I have no desire to eat there again.

Not sure where to eat, we tried Heights Hotel, fantastic food - we had the belly pork which was reasonably priced & extremely delicious. We followed this with. Cheese board, which was equally as lovely.

Great value for money , especially in Bistro with large portions of delicious, well presented food. Good service. All the better with the stunning view of Chesil Beach

Went to The Heights for a meal, whilst staying on Portland. The staff were very friendly, especially our server Sue. She was very polite and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble for her, she is a credit to the hotel. The food was hot and very tasty and generous portions, the roast beef was delicious and so was the trout that my husband had. If I had a criticism it would be that the sweets were a little overpriced, for the size and also choice.

Present brought by my son for myself and his nan for mother’s day.

Der Ausblick vom Restaurant über die Bucht und das Meer ist ein guter Grund das Restaurant zu besuchen. Die Speisekarte und die Qualität des Essens sind guter Durchschnitt aber nichts Besonderes.

First visited the restaurant about 2 years ago for the Sunday carvery. Excellent food and good service. In the area earlier this week, so made a point of stopping by again. Slightly disappointing on this occasion. Food arrived quickly - we only stopped for lunchtime sandwiches, which were passable, but it was at least 45 minutes after we'd finished eating before our table was cleared. And on 2 occasions, hot drinks took 15-20 minutes to arrive. I could perfectly understand if the restaurant was busy or they were short of staff, but it wasn't and they weren't. Other than that, the views are spectacular, and the hotel area itself looks impressive.

The hotel looked nice inside, staff seemed friendly but the cream tea was dreadful.

After walking from Chisel beach to Fancy's Farm via footpaths, we took a welcome break for food & drink. The staff very friendly & helpful, sat out side on the public balcony. So it was food with a view.

As a local I have been to the heights on numerous occasions and has always been a favourite for friends to meet up for lunch. However after not going for a while I was disappointed to see how much the menu prices had gone up. This was also reflected by how unusually quiet it was. The food itself was good but nothing special for the cost and puddings were £6.99! It’s a shame as I fear that locals will avoid it and go to other places on the island where the food is great but at a more reasonable cost

Had evening meal , very tasty, though no view as it was in mist/fog reasonable price and really nice pleasant staff.

They have the BEST views - that come free with every meal ! Try their seafood platter for two ... excellent and a bargain
