Scott's in Waveney

Plusy - Lokal jest w super miejscu , przy molo w Lowestoft. ( stoliki dostepne na zewnatrz lub takeway - utrudnienia zwiazane z covid-19 ) Smaczna ryba i frytki , doskonle usmazone, odsaczone z oleju. Mila obsluga. Minusy - Kontenery ze smiecmi tuz przy wejsciu. Brudne stoliki. Nielad w calym lokalu. Sosy za dodatkowa oplata. Polecam ze wzgledu na smak i jakosc ryby.

Scott's doesn't look much from the outside in the winter, like most places in a coastal resort. It's nice inside though, staff were friendly, tables clean & tidy. Ordered scampi and chips. Food was hot, good sized portion & nice tartar sauce (was different in a good way).

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips, served with a pot of mushy peas and a really nice Tartare Sauce. The staff were extremely friendly and checked that our food ŵas okay. The place was clean and right on the beach. Highly recommended this

Thank you to all the friendly staff who have made me so welcome and for the great food served. Not only is it great value for money, but also tastes yummy. Scotts on the pier is definitely going places.

I have visited this place over many years and all has been very good and offered a range of items on the Menu all very nicely presented and of good quolity. It closed for a while then recently opened up again under New Managemen/owners. It now only offers Fish & Chips, that really are well below standard. Have owned 3 award Fish and Chip Shops, some serious training is needed and a totle review of the business should be conciderd. I called in today for breakfast, the weather was grim, but not as grim as the interior of this establishment. Certainly it's gone down hill. Very dark and dingy, even though it is right on the peir itself, with tremendous views it failed to impress. However the staff are always welcomeing. I had a full English Breakfast and a pot of tea. Very good value and reasonably well cooked by the Young inexperienced cook. Two eggs, one rasher of bacon, two sausage and lots of mushrooms. However l was told they were out of beans! The Cook tried his best, but then spilled it by staking the items into a large soup bowl, very dated, although I have never been served breakfast that way. Mushrooms not quite cooked, plenty and pulled in the centre of the bowl topped with the one rasher of bacon, on top of that two slightly undercooked eggs. With two sausage holing up the sides. I can see that the young lad Chef /Cook was trying to emulate celeberaty Chefs, but it's not needed in a simple Caffee. I guess he was just dropped in there and expected to perform. Give this keen youngster a chance and get him some proper training. Finally apart from the drab seroundings the tables were extremely sticky, my arms readily sticking fast to them. They are all coves with grease, the result of cleaning down with a wet cloth. All these tables that are mish mash need compleatly stripping and revarnishing if not, which would be the best, compleatly replacing. Such a great location, but even in the summer month very quite, which speaks for itself. A near by restaurant The Thatched Cottage is the better option. I hope this review will be taken in the Manor of which it was given. Great Venue, but really does need work. The staff deserve the support as they are very welcoming and are doing there best and are a big asset.

me and my other half were passing, this looked like a lovely spot to stop and have a coffee *the coffee was rather nice and reasonable considering the wonderful view from the restaurant which surpassed its self, we pondered why is it not busier here with such a great view! then we noted that scotts offered chips. id usually have had by buttered kippers but as we had been on a deadline we opted to have chips.. a large chips at 2.50! wow must be a big portion, but no! I was rather annoyed to have a plate brought to me with a small handful of under cooked chips; I asked the man if id infact be given a small chips..... but no.... he said and i quote " ill put some more on there mate" however i was then further frustrated as he topped my plate with small burnt parts from the fryer. a great place for a coffee and wonderful views but dont expect to have a fulfilling lunch.

Possibly the worst fish and chips I have ever had. Tasteless wet fish in a tasteless batter with pale anaemic chips that looked like they had just been reheated from yesterday. This is the second time in a month I thought the first visit might just have caught them on a bad day, but this was even worse. The staff were very nice, but the food was awful. I will never go there again.

Popped in for dinner. Probably the worst sausage and chips I've ever had. Small portions, bread roll dryer than the sand on the beach. Even the seagulls won't eat it. Over priced but lovely views.

In a great location. Sea and beach views but I’d not go there again. A tea and cake pit stop and needing the toilets as these are virtually non existent in Lowestoft. Anyway it’s not a great atmosphere. Silent staring pensioners occupy massive tables as their dogs sleep on the floor. 80s music blares out, “relax, when you’re going to come”, clearly the most inappropriate soundtrack to this bleak cafe. Tea dribbled from a hinged lid tea pot over the table and no amount of stirring, pressing or squeezing could make the solitary tea bag offer more than a light urine colour. I was glad to leave. However the toilets were good as they had soap unlike every other in town

Visited this place on the 26/8/19 not the best time being bank holiday!, was going to have fish and chips on the beach,but the queue for take away was too long so went into the restaurant, had a long wait to be served even though there were only a couple of people in front, ordered two tea plus food,tea arrived some time later only to be lukewarm, sent it back only to be told they have run out of hot water and will have to wait again, food was good but the staff could not cope with the influx of extra people, this place is not the cleanest places i,ve been too needless to say we will not .be going back.

I am writing this having just finished our lunch at Scots on the pier in Lowestoft. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant was very clean. The food however was beautiful. Gorgeous chips, excellent fish and generous portion sizes. Our sons had sausage and chips and absolutely loved it. So much so that my son insisted on telling them how amazing his food was. For a family of five it was excellent value and great food, definitely recommend.

We visited on Friday 9th August and were so dissapointed. We have been visiting this restaurant for years under its previous name of Nemos and always found it a pleasure. The location is so fabulous and I think the current owners are missing a trick. The menu is very limited, first option was unavailable. Ordered a steak pudding, steak and kidney pie, cheese and onion pudding and a cheese and bacon burger. The burger was enjoyed, but the pies/pudding were hideous. The quality was that of a supermarket value brand, and clearly microwaved making the pastry inedible. Chips tasted as if they had been left over and refried to heat them through. Peas so cold that the butter put on them wasn't melting. All in all not good value or good quality. Shall not be returning.

Fancied Fish and chips so, thought we would give Scott's another go. SO GLAD WE DID! The Plaice & the Haddock were spot on. Chips perfect, as we're the mushy peas & the gherkin. A world away from our first visit. KEEP IT UP SCOTT'S

Once we finally found 3 things on the menu that they actually had, it was mediocre at best. Fish was cooked perfect, but batter was gloopy. Claremont burger was ok. Steak and kidney pudding was tiny, better ones from Morrisons. Milk shakes were warm and served in dirty tin mugs. Tasted like Nesquik mixed in room temperature milk. Busy seafront, but empty restaurant should have warned us.

Was a shame smeller great outside the shop, the young girl that served was friendly and polite. But the the other two lady’s looked like they were running organised chaos! Ended up waiting over 30 mins from the point of ordering for a single fish and chips? Needs a bit of a better system in place ready for summer. Apart from that though the chips and fish were great!

I went there on the first light festival the staff was really busy and I had fish and

I attended the lights festival along Lowestoft beach and decided to get some food and drink at Scott’s. There was a lovely new girl working yesterday (Saturday) who was left to do everything for the whole day. She had been there from 9am to 9pm with no break.

During the First Light Festival in Lowestoft I visited Scott’s at the pier with my step mother to see an overwhelmed young lady solely handling the customers by herself without any help! After speaking with the young lady, she said she was new and only began Friday - only a day before the festival! This is absolutely disgusting to throw a staff member into this situation. Where were the rest of the staff? Amazingly, despite the poor girl clearly having no time to eat or drink, she remained positive and handled an extremely busy day superbly whilst also rationally handling complaints by customers to problems which were not her fault.

Visited on Sunday with my wife and two of our children. Thought the service was lovely. Food was fresh and very tasty. A fair price too. Looking forward to visiting again.

Just went for lunch for Father’s Day really wish we didn’t !! By the way I’m just a working class bloke I’m not posh or stuck up at all and wouldn’t normally complain but in this case I had to!! We ordered 30 pounds worth of food and drinks and when my other half realised she left her cash card at the table she had to go and get it and was told “we have people waiting” like it was a problem!! We’ve just orders 30 quids worth of food!! And then we were told to go next door in the arcade for change so our son could spend it in HER toy machine!!! And also told us to make sure we took the menu back to our table because it makes the place look untidy!!!! And also had the wine my mrs wanted on display but was told we couldn’t have it!! She really was a nasty piece of work. But she had realised she was rude and tried licking our backsides for the rest of the time we were there!! And when the food came it was terrible, I had steak and kidney pie and chips and I swear to god the pie was a frozen pie probably Tesco own brand or something similar it was s..t I was at least expecting a proper chip shop pie for £8!! My son had a burger that could of smashed a window if you threw it at it and my mrs had fish which wasn’t bad but the chips were freezing!! And came with mushy peas when advertised as normal peas. All in all a Terrible experience apart from the lady who served our food she was lovely!! Don’t waste your money for s..t very overpriced food with with a Rottweiler as a barmaid!!!

Really rude woman serving behind counter and talking to staff swearing really would never go back poor quality food just a crap place think it would be better to give up if you can't be bothered

Visited here for a coffee and something to eat for my children during a day visit to the seaside and wasn’t impressed at all. Hugely overpriced with awful service and staff-couldn’t even sell some individual sausages because there wasn’t a button on the til for it!!!! Very odd considering that it’s fundamentally nothing more than a chip shop with a bar. Avoid and go somewhere else

I do not recommend eating here .Don't be swayed by the good view of the sea /beach . The expectations we had of the new business were quickly shattered ! There was a long human hair wrapped around the fish then cooked in batter , so it was completely entwined . Disgusting ! The person 'cooking' appeared unprofessional and not what would be expected of such an establishment .

Tea,coffee and a pepsi all for less than £7 .. Cost less for cr*p quality.. Having been here a few times in the past we were looking forward to a decent drink. Alas not so. Tea was horrible no tea taste and served in a coffee mug. Coffee was hot brown water! Wont be coming here again.

Popped in here for a warming brew, and left as soon as possible because they were playing old school rap music far too loud for anyone to have a conversation. A quick check of the other customers revealed they were middle-aged women who looked as uncomfortable as my partner and I felt. The only guy behind the counter was too interested in eating his plate of chips and ketchup to be bothered about having a dialogue about the merits of the background music choice, so the cafe was cleared of all customers inside five minutes. Hopefully this current management team will move on to something more fitting and let someone take over who realises a cafe on a pier in an English seaside resort probably needs music more welcoming than a gangsta talking about his b*****s an h*s. Oh, and the teapots are rubbish and they leak more tea onto the tabletop than they pour into the cup! All round hopeless, don't waste your time.

Disgusting chips threw them away, so bad my dog wouldn't eat one that fell on the floor 😭 1.80 for small chips x3 that i threw away.

Popped in there for breakfast on 23 March 2019. The food looked like it had been thrown on the plate and was cold and greasy. The person that cooked the food came up to us and apologised for not being much of a cook.

Popped in on a cold day. Looks nice, but no draught beer, no hot chocolate, no biscuits, no fresh milk for the tea, couldn't take a ten pound note as they had no change. Won't be visiting again.

Stopped for cod & chips with group of friends on Saturday lunchtime. Lovely crispy batter and ‘ chip shop’ chips. Fab views of the sea a bonus.

Our first & last time. We visited on a Sunday lunchtime.

Lovely, enjoyed our good olde fish n chips, nice place, overlooking the beach and the sea, staff nice, food very nice, you can come inside to eat or buy from the outside window and eat outside too... so next time your passing, pop in and have a meal. 10/10

Excellent gluten free meal of fish and chips. Very helpful friendly service. Beautiful views across the beach.

Visited lunchtime Wednesday 03.10.18, Stuart the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. I haven't had battered fish or prawns for so long as I have wheat, gluten and dairy intolerance. Stuart went out of his way to make me battered Tiger prawns which were delicious and my husband said his haddock was so tasty although it could have been a bit crisper for him but then everyone to their own choice. They also made me a Soya latte so well done to the team for making me feel very welcome.

Stopped in for lunch with my sons. I had plaice and chips, which were cooked to perfection. Sons had piggy burger and scampi. Both said the food was lovely. Service very friendly, and reasonably priced. People reviewing this place as a cafe, need to look harder, it's closer to a restaurant now.

We have been here 4 times, we come here once a year for. The UK chilli sauce awards and we stop of to have some fish and chips.

My mother fancied some chips and at 87 she can have whatever she wants.Chips hard and old, bread roll hard and old, she said we’ll not be coming back to this place.

Great Sunday breakfast, £9 per person but worth it, would highly recommend. Well presented, no need to book, their burger in the evening are also great value for money.

I'm not impressed,staff were slow .curry sauce was not warm.chips were or some were hard.we didn't eat them.the order was put through but staff wasn't sure if to use the food or place order.she couldn't wrap, up so I did my own.wont be going again.:(

Just bought some sausage and chips for me and my daughter and the chip cage just got put on the dirty floor and used again. Then realised i forget drinks so I tried to pay by card but got told I have to spend a fiver! I have just bought food ! are you kidding me ! I am absolutely disgusted and gob smacked !!!

Decided to go here before going to the beach for some lunch firstly the lady was rude it was "what do you want" then it took 30-40mins for our food to come out when was there 4tables in there I order my 2year old a kids cheese burger the burger was so dry I wouldn't of even fed it to my dog my partner had sausages and chips the sausages had no flavour and spelt like plastic I had scampi which was okay a little soggy and the salad was covered in mustard seeds and chips (from the fish and chip shop attached to the place) and although they where hot they where dry and tasteless couldnt make a complain as there was no one about to complain to! never again will go here not even for the takeaway side absolutely discusting

A very comfortable seat with a very good cup of tea and coffee the staff lovely Then he's a lovely views down the promenade and looking out to sea

Food ok but a bit pricey for a beach cafe.

£2 for a diet coke! "No ice"!!! And served by the rudest bar maid in town. I dropped in to use the toilets. Which were more welcoming than her.

We stopped off on our way to southwold for a spot of breakfast and was not disappointed.

Took the granddaughter for lunch and she loved it. My wife who only has a small appetite asked if she could have a childs portion like the granddaughter and was told no problem.Nice to have a choice and not have to leave half of it if she had had a full size one. My cod was very big but I did manage to finish it all.We all remark about how nice the batter was and granddaughter raved about the fantastic milk shake she had with the meal.

Had a nice breakfast here watching the waves hit the beach. Very clean, friendly and well laid out. Good food too!

Scott’s is in a great location, with views out to see and along the beach. The fish and chips are cooked perfectly and there is a gluten free option. The burgers are outstanding.

I came here with a large family group at lunchtime on new years eve. Despite being really busy the food and service were fantastic. Really outstanding burgers - real meat, definitely not thin frozen patties. The fish & chips were also excellent - and I was particularly pleased they offer a gluten free option. I'd definitely recommend this place.

We decided to pop in for lunch after roller skating. This was our first visit and will definitely be going back. The restaurant has been been done up and was lovely and clean with great views. We had a burger and chips and sausages and chips which where well cooked and not greasy. The staff were polite and helpful. Food was reasonably priced too.

This cafe used to be called Nemo's but has had the benefit* of a considerable refit and now lacks the atmosphere of a 1970's seaside cafe. The amount of seating has been reduced to provide a more relaxed feel and the menu prices increased appropriately. Our most recent visit was at 10.30am on a Sunday, coffee and scone (fresh) for the wife and coffee and sausage roll for me(but no sausage rolls -they had sold the last one on Saturday,but offered to make me a sausage sandwich instead) I rather miss the charm of the old Nemo but the Scott's have spent a considerable fortune on the Claremont site and so I suppose this up-grade was inevitable. Wonder if they will ever open the board-walk?

Great Food. Great service by attentive staff. Really nice restaurant with views of the sea. Food was great, fresh and well presented. 5 of us with drinks came to just north of £50 which i dont think is half bad... Adnams on tap! only issue... where’s the mushy peas?

Looking for a meal in unfamiliar surrounding at just 7pm I stumbled upon Scotts. Brilliant service and wonderful food

Until this year this was known as Captain Nemos - we visited it in this guise frequently and there was always something suitable from the menu, be it sandwiches/baguettes, snacks or main meals. Now rebranded as Scotts, under new ownership, it has radically changed it range of offerings and now is pitched more at the 'Bistro' market. We have visited a couple of times to test the new format - the food is still of good quality but the range of options is much more limited.

We popped in here for a coffee and a biscuit it's a nice atmosphere if a bit quiet when there's nobody in unfortunately there were 2 loud parties either end of the cafe and the voices echoed. the service is very good and the staff are friendly toilets are very clean

staff were not attentive despite there being nobody other than a couple in the restaurant. food overpriced and not great. kids menu awful. I wanted fish for my child other than the usual chicken and chips and was told I had to get them an adult meal. Never going again

You can't fault the location or views, but the service here was terrible! My boyfriemd and I just wanted some chips and a drink. There were five people behind the counter and none of them seemed to know what they were doing. It wasn't at all busy while we were there, but it still took nearly ten minutes for one of the five to serve us. The lady on the till (who was also serving food) was dressed in a strapped top with her midriff showing - not what you'd expect in a restaurant. They were polite enough (though another person who served us didn't seem able to speak) but gave the impression that they were just making it all up as they went along. When the chips arrived, they were barely warm. I won't be going back!

We visited as a family and we're pleased to see the choice on offer but went for the fish and chips which included fresh king prawns or skate, roc eel plus the usual. The place was clean and the view was lovely. Service from staff was good

Eaten here a couple of times now and in terms of quality absolutely no complaints. The food is often cooked to order guaranteeing that it is fresh and hot. Have eaten fish, sausages, sausages in batter and chicken nuggets. The quality of a chip shop has to be judged on its fish which I think was very good. Crispy light batter, not too thick and white flakey cod - lovely. Served with salt, vinegar and a slice of lemon.
