Steamers Restaurant in East Devon

Amazing food eaten at this lovely local restaurant! We had the Xmas menu this time around and it was great, fantastic decor and the front of house team made sure we felt welcomed from the first moment to the last. Credit to Jess and her family, would highly recommend

Wow! What a wonderful dining experience totally faultless. Beautiful decor.. amazing food and excellent table service. We will be back. 😋😋😋😋

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff very helpful and friendly. The food is all cooked by a chef and was of superb quality. We were so impressed we immediately booked to go again near Christmas! We shared a plate of scallops with a panko breadcrumb crust which had a little chilli and pancetta in. We had a fish stew as a main, along with a Lamb Tagine on a couscous base with beautiful flavours. They also have a good selection of desserts. Thoroughly recommended.

Best restaurant in the south of England. Must come. Good variety of food. If I was to recommend one item it would be the aubergine curry.

Came here for a nice evening out with my boyfriend and my father to catch up, and it was absolutely incredible. The new refurbishment has done this place justice! With a sleek design and friendly staff, we had felt welcomed. The menu had a great variety of dishes, particularly for my vegetarian boyfriend, as well as a list of specials that piqued our interest. I could not recommend this place enough. The dishes were absolutely delicious and filling. A highlight of Beer!!! I will be coming here again.

Absolutely Perfect 60th Birthday Celebration! We recently celebrated a 60th birthday at Steamers restaurant in Beer, and I cannot recommend it enough! It is under new management and from the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the celebration was taken care of. Their genuine care made the experience truly special. The food was simply incredible— perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, fresh local produce, just brilliant. Our friends are still raving about how delicious everything was. If you're looking for a venue that offers not only amazing food but also impeccable service, Steamers is the place. It made our celebration unforgettable, and we can't wait to return. Thank you for making the occasion so memorable! We held

Definitely a very nice experience

Perhaps the main chef was off on a Sunday night, but ours was a forgettable experience. We ordered 2 starters & 2 mains. In the end, we did not want to stay one moment longer, but were made to wait another 20 minutes for the card machine. Starters: The homemade bread was alright (country style), but the balsamic vinegar stayed stubbornly at the bottom of the olive oil, despite rigorous stirring with a fork. The Courgette fritters were competently fried, if lacking in interest. Mains: The steak & ale pie tasted alright, though the steak was a tad dry, and there wasn't enough of the stuffing compared to the pie shell. The fish & chip with curry sauce should've been an old standby that offered an interesting twist with the curry. But the fish didn't taste that fresh - in a village that has fishing boats lining the waterfront. The curry sauce was about the lamest "curry" I've ever encountered: washed down, sweetened up, and managed to be totally bland. The only standouts were the very good mashed potatoes and the smashed peas with mint. The music blared non-stop. We did not enjoy any aspect of this whole experience. The bill came to nearly the same as our last night's dinner at a different restaurant in Beer, which was outstanding.

Outstanding food with the most helpful staff. This is a real find. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful family meal here in August. Service was great. They need to tweak a few dishes that could be better. Paella for two very strong saffron flavor and could do with more base seafood stock flavor and rice was overcooked. Seafood linguine was underwhelming a few bits of shellfish and not a good sauce. Pea risotto needs some sort of lift again it's the stock bases which seem under par. Has potential to be fabulous food

Great food, the atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend. Only slight moan starters were tiny, tasty but just not enough.

They are just getting going so there were a few blips. The starter mains are good the desserts were below par. Waiting staff need a bit more training "I'll let the kitchen know" is not solving a problem. It sounds like i am giving them a hard time but I recommend going, the issues are just start up one's and they will probably already have ironed them out.

Couldn’t rate this highly enough. What a transformation from previous owners. Sunday lunch was superb. Fresh tasty and well presented. Pretty good value too. Really do wish them all the success here. People should go as they won’t be disappointed.

Excellent food and service at Steamers, will definitely be going back! Could not be happier!

Couldn't fault this lovely restaurant in Beer. Attentive staff, delicious food and so convenient to walk to when staying in Beer. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will be back next year:)

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon in Steamers. Excellent food and presentation. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend to friends and family. A lovely asset for the beautiful Beer

Great food, great service, thoroughly recommended.

Superb, new restaurant in Beer and much needed 👌 The food was decadent and the service was excellent.

Great service with amazing food. Restaurant has amazing atmosphere inside. Placed in quiet part of town.

Great restaurant- but only reopened 2 weeks ago, so the lovely staff are still finding their feet. It took a while for the food to come, but totally worth the wait.

I had a truly wonderful lunch here! It’s now under new management, a lovely family affair with super friendly staff and a beautifully refurbished space. My seafood linguine was to die for in this amazing, unctuous, seafood reduction sauce…I dream about it! Everything was just lovely and I can’t recommend it highly enough, you won’t be disappointed! Oh and the Sicilian white wine 👌🤩

Wanted to try this restaurant as the menu online looked lovely. We were not disappointed: Upon arrival, even though slightly early for the start of lunch we were offered a seat and drink just to wait for 12:00. The menu had a good choice without being too large. Plenty of fish choices as well. Service was friendly and polite. Food was freshly cooked and well presented. It was, very tasty. The calamari that I had to start was served with a very nice fresh salad etc and my wife Bruschetta was very good as well. The mains burger and pea risotto went down very well and the pudding of peaches was good and fresh tasting. The restaurant was clean and well presented with a good ambience.

My wife and I had lunch at Steamers, it used to be an old haunt of ours until it shut during Covid. Now refurbished and with new owners, we found the food to be excellent, the service was attentive, and there is a nice relaxed atmosphere. Will be taking friends soon.

Brilliant restaurant, first class service, lovely food and great drink options. Well worth a visit, best restaurant in East Devon.

Fresh cooked local produce Restaurant food rather than pub grub A real treat

Fantastic quality food, great atmosphere, and lovely people - what more can I say apart from can't wait till my next visit

I cannot find a fault with this restaurant! From walking off the main high street you are greeted with a lovely path adorned with festoon lighting. The modern and contemporary aesthetic hints at what’s on the inside. The Steamers team have produced a wonderful look and feel internally and we were struck by the lighting that invites you through the space. The modern refurbishment works beautifully with the original Devon stone walls. By adding some bold colours with the quality and comfortable furniture adds to the ‘welcoming feeling’ of the space. To ensure the stone walls and floors don’t create a loud echoing space they have used acoustically designed lighting and panelling throughout which really helps the atmosphere. The food! Well we had great expectations given how impressive the restaurant is.. We were not disappointed. The food was exceptional, everything we had was beautifully prepared & presented. My personal favourite was the sea bass which was without a doubt the best I’ve had.. And I love sea bass! The menus are considered and focused on local produce, which we believe added to our overall dinning experience. It’s lovely to sit comfortably, with an extensive wine selection, first class service, and beautiful food. Our overall dining experience was nothing short of spectacular! I’m sure this place will be a destination restaurant that brings people from far and wide! We will be back to this hidden gem.. well done all involved.

Dinner at Steamer's tonight was outstanding..great atmosphere, excellent service & good food! The best restaurant in Beer...special mention to Kerry !

Food was great with friendly helpful service, terrific ambience would definitely go again

Great place, best meal I've had in the UK in ages.

We had a terrific time at Steamers in Beer! the service was so friendly, the atmosphere was very relaxed - food was EXCEPTIONAL! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Every single dish was excellent- the scallop starter and tempura prawns were beautiful, our mains of lamb and fish of the day were all perfectly cooked and bloomin’ tasty. We also loved the gorgeously juicy summer pudding (see video!) and the creamy, decadent crème brûlée. They have a great wine list too (a second bottle of the organic Côte du Rhone was consumed as we were having such a great time). Thank you all at Steamers. We will be back and we’re excited to follow your journey! ❤️🍷👌🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This newly refurbished restaurant is an absolute delight! The menu is full of interesting options as well as traditional favourites. There is a great atmosphere and the service is that perfect combination of friendliness and professionalism. And, importantly, it offers terrific value for money. Highly recommend and will return regularly. Big thanks to Jess and her team!

Absolutely fabulous!! Honestly one of the BEST Sunday roasts I’ve ever had (and I’ve had plenty over the years!!) new management, staff and some amazing new chefs are serving up a real treat in Beer….get yourself down there!

What amazing food and lovely friendly service at the newly-opened Steamers in Beer. Now under professional and experienced management, this restaurant is a great addition to the village. Can’t wait to return to try more of Jess’s team’s specials and tasty local fresh fish dishes. The dessert wine also works very well with the tart tatin 😉

Newly refurbished, new management, great atmosphere and service. fantastic menu with great food. Came again for lunch. very accommodating although we had two babies in a big double pram.

Went last night - Best meal out i have had all year! Pepper sauce FANTASTIC! Termpura prawns amazing!!! Cheese board beautiful and homemade crackers a delight! Fillet steak succulent - i could go on and on and on….........+ the new owners have done a brilliant job with the menu and refurb.

Wouldn’t reply to the phone so obviously couldn’t book a visit

We had a fantastic meal! Food and atmosphere was spot on. Really refreshing to have real food on the children's menu. We normally come to Beer for a weekend in July, see you again next year!

Absolutely delicious food I would definitely recommend the Sunday roasts. If you are in Beer give it a visit!

Fabulous food and the menu choice was amazing.

Wouldn't eat here if you paid me after the extremely unpleasant individual my wife spoke to earlier today when she phoned to book a table. Phone answered, then: "Yes?" "Is that Steamers restaurant?" "Yes." (curtly) "Are you open on Mondays at the moment?" "No." (again curtly, then 'click' as the phone hangs up). Absolutely no need for this kind of rudeness - civility costs nothing. Have just received apologetic phone call from the owner, which was appreciated.

What a delight to find this simply wonderful restaurant in Beer! The service from all of the staff was 5* going literally above and beyond. We came for dinner with two toddlers in tow, the chef Toby went out of his way to make sure they were settled and happy even bringing out colouring books and pens from his own children’s little stash. The food was divine, we forgot to take pictures because we were so excited to eat it! The cocktails are a must as they are delicious. The paintings on the wall are exquisite and will make you want to buy them all to take home. A very family friendly restaurant, everything you need. We will certainly be back next time we are in Beer. Thank you again for such wonderful service.

Amazing service, all our requirements was over and above by the chef. Delightful staff all round excellent service, highly recommended this for a delicious meal.

Went to Steamers for the first time today for Sunday lunch. Limited menu but opted for the Sunday roast. Very tasty and plenty of veg too. Delicious deserts. Nice welcoming atmosphere in pleasant surrounds. Very reasonable price. Will certainly return

Awesome sunday Roast. Great service And they Catered for a lot of us. Definitely go back again. 😍👏

An absolute treat of an establishment. A warm greeting and some excellent food and wine knowledge. The meal was fabulous and service matched. An absolute gem in a wonderful setting. Highly recommend you visit yourself.

10/10 for everything! Food, wine and service were fantastic. Huge Congratulations to you all. Just what Beer needs🙌🙌🙌🙌

Best fries ever! Had a lovely meal and would definitely go back again.

The food was lovely - locally sourced fish. The staff were all very friendly - great customer service. Chilled out relaxing atmosphere. The Mango Cheesecake was amazing!

Really pleasant meal, some spices were unexpectedly extreme.

I had taken family on holiday for Otter Falls for my birthday and for my treat on the special day they took me to this restaurant....to ensure my shark like ‘I’m having fish tonight’ tastebuds were satisfied!In these COVID-19 days, any form of eating out can be a strange experience, but this was inoculated as I had my loved ones around me!To be clear, this restaurant is not cheap....but when the quality of the cooking and service is that good then it is understandable. Is it value for money? In my view undoubtedly so....and then some!It had a limited menus but between us managed to consume prawns, sea bass, monkfish and every desert on offer.One note to consider, you could not add gratuity to the bill if paying by card so if you wish to tip (and they so deserve it) take some old fashioned cash to ensure it goes where it deserves to go!I shall be back!

I spent quite some time researching places to eat near our holiday cottage at Kilmington to celebrate my birthday. Steamers seemed to be fairly easy to get to and had a nice looking menu. When I called to book (at least a couple of weeks in advance) I was disappointed to be told they were not open on my birthday, so had to settle for the following day. We really enjoyed the food, but the ambience did not seem to be entirely warm and welcoming. I think a lot of places struggle with the restrictions imposed by COVID and this seemed to be one of them. The atmosphere was not improved by the excessively raised voices from the open kitchen which gave the impression of a rather unhappy environment. I can only hope things improve for Steamers once COVID is under control, but on the experience we had we would not want to go back anytime soon.

Lovely place, nice ambience, friendly helpful staff, fabulous food majoring on local fish. Plenty of choice for the gluten-free one of us, including gluten-free sticky toffee pudding! Three great courses each, a bottle of wine, £95. Great value for a brilliant evening.

Was staying In beer for 3 nights so having read reviews booked well in advance.having looked at menu online was impressed and chose my courses on arriving warmly greeted nice people and atmosphere.i love mussels and was looking forward to them as a starter.no mussels.was then told it was limited menu.the fish my partner wanted was also not on the menu.while I understand these are strange times you could have put this info on you're website.while my meal was very nice it wasn't what I would have ordered.ironically we chatted to a couple next day who had been to smugglers a seafood restaurant a few doors down and they had had a full menu including mussels

We visited Steamers whilst on a family holiday for my future father-in-laws 52nd Birthday. After a recommendation from a close friend who had visited Beer before, we settled on Steamers for the Birthday outing.After tonight, it was evident that we chose wisely!Upon entry we were met by the kind, welconing staff who promptly showed us to our table. Drinks were quickly served up as we browsed the entising menu. Once we had narrowed down each of our orders, it wasn't long before our food was sitting comfortably infront of our excited, hungry faces!With every bite, you taste how fresh this seafood is and how much love and attention has gone into each dish. Truly delicious from starter through to dessert. Upon overhearing it was a Birthday gathering, one of the staff tending to us went out of their way to organise a few candles and a little singalong for the Birthday Boy, which prompted a few other diners to join in! A wholesome moment. I urge you to visit this resteraunt if you're ever in Beer, you won't be dissapointed. I assure you!And of any of the staff read this, THANK YOU!

My wife and went for a meal midweek in late September. We have been several times before and always have a great meal this was no acception it was superb again.My steak done to perfection and the wife's hake was the best she has ever had thank you for making my birthday we are back on Christmas Eve to celebrate our 15 wedding anniversary thank you again and stay safe

Our last night in Beer & had a lovely meal at Steamers. Food was really good & staff were very pleasant. This was at the start of having to wear face coverings whilst not sat at the table. Not easy for anyone, not our way. We did have an entertaining discussion with a Welsh couple on the next table after we had finished our meals. We will be back if we go to Beer again.

Was visiting beer for a night and had heard good things about steamers. Emailed as per instructions on the website to make a reservation. No reply. Called on the day we were arriving and was met with an answer machine message stating that there was availability all week including the Tuesday night we hoped to eat. I left a message asking if they could confirm the booking I'd requested online and call me back. No reply. We turned up at 7:30 as per the time we had requested and were met by "we're fully booked". We were also told email can "sometimes go missing" and that steamers don't have a website which I argued I'd visited the day before! Felt like we were being fobbed off and had nowhere else booked. Really disappointed and the customer service was way below standard. Would not go back no matter how good the food is.

We went to the door to book to be confronted with staring sullen looks and told the place was fully booked.When asked for another day the starers questioned each other and decided :"no" that day was booked too. Just a:"Hello , how can we help you?" and "No sorry we are fully booked" would have sufficed. WITH A SMILING FACE

Overall this was ok. Certainly a nice feel to the place even considering the reduced table numbers for covid. And the staff we're very covid aware - masks, cleaning equipment, keeping distant, reduced handling of items etc. The first issue I had was making the booking; I sent and email from the website - got no reply so phoned to be told they often don't get emails. Also I will point out website is way out of date.The menu seems very reduced from normal - so be aware of that. The portions too were a lot smaller than the photos on here and on the website show; I had scallops and bacon/mushroom starter just 3 very small scallops. The fish mains were well cooked if little too much butter/oil in the plate for my liking. Would I go again if in Beer - probably.

This restaurant serves fresh fish and seafood that is cooked to perfection. Social distancing is practiced at the moment however that does not spoil the ambiance of this lovely jewel of restaurant. I had the Brill. I have never tasted this before but it was a real treat for the mouth, as were the beautifully seared scallops.The food is reasonably priced and the service is excellent. If fish is what you like, you can do no better as the menu changes daily dependent on what the local fishermen catch.Thank you for the excellent fish and the park that my friend had, which was equally well cooked. We shall go again when we are next in the area.

After reading the website I was looking forward to having the fish taster course, but when we were presented with the menu it seemed to be a reduced version, lacking said fish taster course. There's were no vegetarian options listed either, which seemed to relegate my veggie wife to unimportant. That said, the restaurant is very comfortable, and the food delicious, but please offer what you advertise on your website.

Consistently excellent food Andy is a superb chef.. Been numerous times and never been disappointed. It is a great restaurant.

Lovely fresh food and very friendly staff. The brill was excellent but next time I go I must have the mussels! Lovely to see the chef in the kitchen.

Drove to Beer for a random seaside visit and thought we would look for some local food. Let me tell you, you will not be disappointed with Steamers!! Excellently cooked food! The best fries we have had in ages! The beer battered Hake was so tasty and my partner also loved her coconut curry!! Thanks so much for accommodating us! I’m already trying to twist my partners arm to revisit before we have to head back to Nottingham!

My wife and I had a great meal! The quality and presentation was very good and I would recommend others try this place. You won’t be disappointed.

accepted an 8.30 booking when we arrived in this dingy restaurant we wer told we would have to wait while they found us a table ! we had booked. while we waited without being offered a drink or anything a man with a very annoying voice was strutting around shouting loudly we just waited another 5 mins with no update so we left and we could hear him shouting at the woman to look at the door loook at the door as we had just walked thorough it. wont go again has high ratings I dont know how.

Beautifully cooked food in a clean, well presented restaurant with friendly, attentive staff. Quite pricey but well worth it for the quality of the food. I had grilled Brill for my main which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Probably the best fish dish I've ever had.

Full 5 stars absolutely brilliant excellent food and staff. Nice atmosphere had a good chat with the staff. Really nice and friendly chief

Wonderful freshly cooked local fish. If in the area make Steamers a must. Highly recommended and great staff.

Ate here on a Saturday night in August after reading all the reviews on tripadvisor so was quite surprised how average this was. Admittedly the prawn and crab cocktail starter was very good but my main of lemon sole was ok at best and came with fries. Strange choice in my opinion. My wife had breem which again was ok and a few roast veggies on the side but very few. A lack of atmosphere in the restaurant led to a very average experience. The food is nothing more than most people could do at home and the bill of nearly £140 certainly was overpriced.

Usual standard. Worth the 4 hour round trip for the highlight of the weekend

Myself and my wife visited for dinner and the food was really good. I had mussels for start and my wife had the prawns and both dishes were excellent. For mains we both went for the pork, great flavor but was overcooked in our opinion as was quite dry, however taste was great. Finished off with the mango cheesecake and was also excellent. So overall a great meal, but a couple of observations, the restaurant was quite empty when we were these so lacked a bit of atmosphere, I would recommend some light background music to help, also the waiter that was really polite, took my plate away before my wife had finished so in my opinion this should not happen until both have finished.

We had one starter, two fish mains, a g&t & a modest bottle of wine. This cost £82 which is about £20 more than other restaurants in Beer for very similar food.Service was excellent & the ambience is more up market with a glossy cocktail bar.To add insult Steamers isn't running the Government £10 pp discount deal in August.

First time we have visited this restaurant whilst on holiday, excellent food and service would definitely recommend and visit next time we are in town

We visited on the basis of checking their website to ensure it met both my vegetarian requirement and my partners love of fish. The menu on offer there on the night did not have a vegetarian option. When the waitress put to the chef my polite ask of any vegetarian option, it was abundantly clear the chef was laughing hysterically at my request and therefore me. So rude. To boot, the plaice option my partner had was old fish not the fresh fish you would expect from a sea-based restaurant. Very poor experience for an evening we were very much looking forward too!would NOT recommend!

We booked a table for dinner at Steamers as it had been recommended by family members who had eaten there on a recent holiday in Beer. They had raved about the fish specials so we were slightly disappointed that there were no specials on offer when we ate there. In fact the menu was very limited. Having said that we could understand that in February they would not be very busy and it’s best to have a limited menu but to do it well. The food we had was nice and the service was good.

By far the best food we’ve had during our holiday in the Beer area. Took a while to sort out what we were going to eat as the menu only lasts as long as the daily catch! Most of us had substitute fish to what was on the menu but at least it shows the food is fresh & seasonal! Our party had the goats cheese strudel, monkfish/scallop/king prawn curry, grilled brill, deep fried whiting & hake fillet. The food was stunning! Simply presented, fresh & delicious. The fish was so fresh & tasty (the homemade complimentary bread to start was also delicious especially the curry bread). The menu was great as not too big, everything sounded lovely so was difficult to choose. We had apple/berry crumble, chocolate/brandy creme brûlée, lemon drizzle sponge, vegan ice cream with berry compote & Irish coffees for dessert - again all fantastic. Our son is gluten & dairy intolerant & the chef was very helpful & accommodating, he made a special gf batter which was so light & crispy & also gf biscotti to go with dessert. Would love to live closer so we could go again!

We've been going to Steamers for a number of years. Food has always been consistently excellent and the service is first class. 😁

Disappointing. Made a reservation a month ago and was provided a table in the overflow section of the restaurant. My family and I shared our table with surplus. chairs stacked to one side of our table. We ordered fish that was not featured on the menu, however, the fish (skate ) was off so we settled for a fish and chips. Overall the experience was disappointing and we would not recommend or visit this restaurant.

Excellent service, Excellent food.

Had a lovely evening here. The chef creates dishes based on the fresh fish he can get that morning. I had large scallops in a delicate curry sauce and my mum had grilled skate - both dishes were excellent. Our waitress was really nice too.

We called here for New Years Day lunch as part of a large party of 16 or so people. We didn't need to pre-order and the food was exceptional. Restaurant service was very good although when we came to pay they were not over helpful in helping us split the bill between our different families. Nonetheless an amazing lunch.

Had a wonderful evening here celebrating my husband’s birthday. We had a super table, decorated especially. The food was fantastic and they catered for our young children. The entertainment provided by the Chef’s son was an added bonus, performing magic tricks certainly kept our children amused. We would definitely go back.

Absolutely brilliant ! Food was cooked to perfection. The curry bread is to die for. The staff were very friendly. This place is a must if visiting Beer .

We’ve been coming here for years and after leaving the county we returned this week and it’s as good as ever. Fantastic mussels, scallops and delectable mango cheesecake. Good Chardonnay and a very reasonable bill.

Place needs updating and kitchen closed off as hearing staff in the kitchen is not always good. Lady serving was pleasant enough, but unfortunately the food and overpriced menu leaves a lot to be desired! I was expecting this to be a real fresh fish treat, but was so disappointing as what I received was a overcooked small portion of something! Such a pity. Get it together Steamers, as this could be a really nice place to visit when in Beer.

Warm friendly welcome, pleasant and convivial environment (where you can hear each other’s conversation!). Excellent fresh fish and rich, delicious chocolate mousse and crème brûlée!

We ate here on a Thursday evening and it was so good we returned the following evening. Great value, excellent food and service. The fish taster plate (starter and mains) was superb as was the prawn and monkfish curry and the lemon sole. Good wine list, informal / friendly ambiance, it seems popular with both locals and visitors. Would recommend booking. They are also open for lunch.

What can I say about Steamers ? So So much. We had a fantastic meal and evening. The food that the Chef created was awesome. We are fortunate to have eaten in some of the top eateries around the world, and have to say the food at Steamers compaired highly with other restaurants that we have had the privilege to eat in. A real hidden secret in Beer. The staff were excellent, very professional as well as warm and welcoming. With a table of 10 of us, all choosing different dishes from the menu its not the easiest table to wait on, but all food was served together and all hot and in a very professional way. A massive thank you too Steamers for ensuring we left with wonderful memories of our evening. See you again soon.

My date of birth is 17th September 1988 and GCSE'S I left school before finishing exams. I think I got D's.

Went to Steamers for wife's birthday expecting fresh fish specials as the video shows owner talking about the fish straight off the Beer boats and selecting catch of the day. Even though the birthday was marked on the seating plan, nobody mentioned it or enquired about her day etc. There were a few stars scattered on the table. Just before we left we complained about the food and service (see below) and how it was a birthday. The only response was "nobody tells me anything" but then still no "happy birthday".

It was wife's birthday, which was recorded on seating plan. Nobody said "happy birthday" let alone any special effort. Pavola looked a mess with a hard base. Tarte Tatin was stuck to the plate. Soup bland, no bread until too late. Mussels okay but discard dish was late coming. Main courses okay but no better than average for a specialist fish restaurant.

The coffee is excellent , very reasonably priced, served with a biscuit . The service is friendly and efficient. The music -1960s- is right up my street. The toilets are impeccably clean. I call whenever I'm on holiday on the area.

Celebrating my wife's birthday. And Steamers was a was the place to be. With locally sourced fish, veg & fruit. And it made full use of its repertoire. Of which we enjoyed. I would recommend Steamers as a place to visit if you are in Beer.

Friendly helpful staff and absolutely fantastic delicious food. We enjoyed the fish taster menu and great pudding; highly recommend the creamy cheesecake

I visited this lovely restaurant , so much choice on the menu, staff most helpful and accommodating. We both had the homemade bread to start, delicious, followed by the main course taster which was simply divine, the taste was out of this world, presentation stunning. Great value for money, definitely a must to visit, I know I will be going back there very soon.

Great little restaurant with lovely staff and devious menu with lots of seafood. Good value too with decent sized portions.

This restaurant could be fantastic, within the village of Beer, but what you have is a restaurant which is very confused. We checked in on a Saturday evening to the sound of the chef hollowing to the waitress that he had ‘lost the plot’ so I was not expecting a great deal. I am not sure what this restaurant is about, plastic flowers with curtains and light fitting from the 90’s, dark teak tables and paper napkins , red and lavender chairs all just a mishmash , it was such a confused restaurant. The food was not great, the portions were very small, my husband had the main taster fish dish, which was the same size as the the starter taster, a tiny piece of cod and tasteless other fish, My brill dish was ok but smothered in a sweet marmalade which totally destroyed the taste of the fish, the veg were covered in grease and oil and the whole experience was disappointing. We did not stop for a sweet or coffee, and the best I can say is that the restaurant needs gutting and redecorating using Beer as a theme. As for the chef he needs to be cooking well away from the guests who can hear all that is going on in the kitchen.

Having not booked we were surprised to not only get a table but also some wonderful food and service. With only one member of staff serving and the restaurant almost full you would have thought that service could be slow but no, not only efficient but pleasant and smiling under obvious pressure. The food was excellent and well presented and well thought out. Had we stayed in Beer longer I would have revisited.
