I expect to spend £20 @least for a meal. Thing is fish ok chips frozen. Lamb curry on bread Not recommended. Lamb well done potatoes very hard. Bread ,just a seeded muffin.. Not worth £18.95. If you are going yo pay those prices for a dinner them pay that little bit extra at the Woolacombe bay hotel restaurant for quality .

Overall over £20 per person for a main course plus coffee and the chips poor for fish and chips and the salad missed one of the main ingredients and small quantity.

The only good thing about this place was the fact they didn’t charge us a penny for the poor food. The mussels tasted of absolutely nothing and the fish pie and veg was microwaved and tasteless. Will not be returning EVER.

Ordered the fish pie that had practically no fish in at all and was filled with rock hard carrots and peas and the sauce was terrible. Promised freshly sourced buttered vegetables which were just frozen so must have been sourced from the frozen section in the local shop. Outrageous prices for no reason eg they’re charging £4 for a bowl of cornflakes or £9 for scrambled eggs on toast. Would avoid at all costs as it’s such a rip off, you’d be better off getting a pasty from the shop next door because they actually look appetising. Awful pie that was probably just microwaved, frozen veg and a severe lack of fish in my FISH pie

The name was catchy, good location. We looked all around woolacombe for seafood and came across this place. It said the seafood was locally sauced. We had 2 take away pots.. one prawns, one seafood mix. I asked if there were muscles in the seafood mix she went and checked and said no. £9 for 2 pots. The seafood wasn’t fresh, tasted like water no flavour at all so definitely frozen. Wasn’t offered any seafood sauce or vinegar. And guess what? There were muscles in the seafood mix. Avoid if you like fresh seafood.

Restaurant looked nice from the outside but inside was very dirty- menus covered in filth, lamination needs replacing and dirt on the floors. Seats were uncomfortable benches with a tiny amount of padding. Food was expensive and not worth what you got. Feta salad which did not contain any lettuce £18 for a main meal, no carbohydrate source with the dish- could have done with some potatoes included. Child’s menu was average and had lots of options with chips. Limited healthy options. Portion sizes for children were good but adult mains were very small portions. Waiting staff seemed bored and disinterested. No booking required so arrival before 6pm necessary to get a seat in peak times.

Decline of a former family service. Illogical to take orders partly at bar and partly table. Means you can end up further down the queue for the already very slow service if you sit inside. Why have three members of front of house staff when two appear to do nothing. We keep returning as we really want it to return to the pre-Covid days.... such a shame. Food also has got worse in terms of both quality and portion size. Review based upon two or three visits in the last 6 months. Overall we have been visiting for 10 years. Back in the day my family absolutely loved this place!

We’re a family of four. 2 meals were fine but chips on one and loaded chips on the other were just dreadful and inedible. This place isn’t cheap, so you expect much more for your money. A complaint made about the food prompted a removal of the cost of 2 portions of chips. There are much better places to eat in Woolacoombe. Don’t waste your money here.

Great service, and not as busy as we were expecting. Unfortunately this is likely because the quality of the food isn't as high as we were hoping. While the kids enjoyed their pizza, for a restaurant purportedly riding themselves on their fish produce TCT didn't deliver on the promise. Mussels were almost completely devoid of sauce (the best part!), and the battered fish was very overdone (the batter crumbled away into nothing when cut into). Chips and scampi saved the day, but overall unfortunately left distinctly underwhelmed, particularly for the price.

We have never been served an English breakfast like this: carelessly prepared, greasy, the orange juice expensive and made of syrup, the fried toast tasted rancid. The table was sticky, tea and milk spilled over and onto the table when it was served, but the waitress didn't care. We were served by three different waiters, all of whom were not very customer-oriented and rather silent. The atmosphere of the restaurant is actually nice, but unfortunately it was very busy and the noise was deafening.

A lovely place to stop for lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive. We had a sandwich each and shared a cream tea. The sandwiches were delicious; plenty of filling and a decent portion of crisps and salad to accompany them. We chose granary bread which was delicious. I was told that it was Roberts bread from a local bakery. The scones were light and fluffy and obviously came from a bakery or were made on the premises. They were a generous size and came with plenty of cream and jam 😋. A delicious lunch! If we find ourselves in the area again, The Captains Table will be our first choice to visit.

Breakfast at the Captains Table, was a rekaxed affair. We were shown to our table and given a breakfast menu, i was a little disappointed to see that there was no kids section on the menu, but the little one decided on pancakes so that wasn't a problem. I decided to go for the captains breakfast and my friend indulged with a bosuns breakfast. The food all arrived at the same time which is a good sign, I think that maybe the use of smaller plates would enhance the appearance of the breakfasts as they looked a little lost, however everything was perfectly cooked and very tasty, but don't go in expecting a huge meal as its not. You will come out feeling comfortable not stuffed. Overall the service was good and attentive to customers requests, a relaxing breakfast to start the day.

Firstly would like to start with the staff, all nice and service was good. Unfortunately that's where the positives come to an abrupt end. For main I ordered a seafood linguine. Portion size was minuscule and the seafood overcooked. Also sauce was absolutely devoid of taste (£18.95.... expected more)! My partner ordered scampi and chips, this was a large plate of food and was of a decent standard. I then decided to try a fruit crumble for dessert. This was without doubt the worst crumble I've ever tasted, the fruit was absolutely overwhelmed with cinnamon and I have no idea what they made the crumble out of. My best guess is they harvested some sand from the beach. My partner had a banoffee waffle, this seemed abit better, but was not overwhelming. Don't usually write reviews but left feeling completely disappointed and over charged for what was substandard food.

They put through a pizza for hee in no time to make sure we could get her going before our mains arrived. Whilst the GF menu was a little “rough around the edges” the staff were knowledgable and the chef clearly got the memo, ensuring food was safe. I had the sea bass and my partner the mussels with chips, all GF and really well cooked. Thank you so much for a lovely last dinner of our holiday!

A meal deal was tomato soup with a cheese toasty which was much appreciated. We went back that evening as we’ve struggled to find good eating places in Croyde where we usually stay. I had a pizza. Hubby had fish and chips. But I should stress that these were home made. In summary I’d say that it has a cafe menu, but the food is definitely better than your average cafe. Home made with love.

We later came back for hot drinks after a long walk in the cold and I had a beautiful latte with a heart on and my partner had the deluxe hot chocolate which he said tastes like real chocolate, and they did not hold back on the cream and marshmallows. 100% recommend, ignore the bad reviews this place is amazing and staff were very friendly when greeting us and serving.

Staying in Woolacombe, decided to visit here for a cream tea as there is a lack of ‘tea shops’ in the town. After having a lovely one in Morthoe the other day this couldn’t have been more different! We had four kids in total that all had the ‘luxury’ hot chocolates at £4.65 each. They were tepid, watery and luke warm. To be fair the waitress seemed embarrassed when I asked her if they were made with water, and told me that they were made with chocolate flakes and milk in a pan on a job. Tasted like powder and hot water to me! The cream tea though was the biggest let down. The strawberry jam tasted like the cheapest type but wasn’t bad, the scones were small but you did get two and were nice. The clotted cream however was most certainly whipped double or whipping cream, didn’t have the texture, look or taste of clotted. When I complained to the waitress she says she didn’t know if it was and went to ask. She never came back to me and on the end I had to call her over, she seemed surprised that the owner had not been over, seemingly he couldn’t have given a toss! She came back saying that it was local Devon cream, it would have been very easy to show us the packaging which they did not so I highly doubt it was clotted cream as advertised. Both cream teas were taken off the bill, thank goodness. The place looks like quite nice from the outside but was cold and bland inside with uninterested owners. Avoid at all costs!

Firstly, the menu online here is NOT the current menu. That wasn’t an issue for us as we just walked in on the day, but Fish and Chips is now £16.95 and there a far fewer other options available. The macaroni cheese my youngest son had looked like it came out of a tin and was kept under a warmer, it was really dry and bright yellow. The fish and chips was decent enough, but for the price I expected it to be better. The staff seemed inexperienced but they were attentive and service was prompt.

We ate here 3 times! That says a lot tight off the bat! Great good, good location and nice service. The surfers breakfast is huge (and tasty) and it's nice getting tea as pots of tea.

With obscene car park charges in Devon it was nice to be able to park outside here for free.Prompt service ,efficient and prompt.Full English was enough to feed an Army so wish they offered a smaller version!!! Young waitress was very prompt at cleaning the tables which isn't always the case in UK.Clean and presentable.Best beach for miles!!!!Pity they allow dogs which isn't for me hygiene wise but very pleasant.

Visited at the start of summer and had an awful meal. We were a group of five adults and were all really unhappy with our meals. One of the group ordered a dish served with peppercorn sauce, but when it arrived the sauce was clearly gravy rather than peppercorn sauce, and the staff argued with us despite the sauce tasting absolutely nothing like peppercorn sauce and clearly tasting like gravy. The seafood platter did not taste good and some of the items were a bit icy where they'd either not fully defrosted, or been in a fridge that was too cold. I ordered the fish pie and it was completely cold in the middle, and was served with some very sad looking frozen vegetables rather than the buttered vegetables shown in the pictures on the website. We complained about the poor quality of the food and did not pay for two of the meals. Other diners also seemed unhappy with their food and the staff were arguing in the back. Shockingly bad

Came down to Woolacombe for the scooter rally. Had an evening meal at the captains table with friends. We all enjoyed our meal very much and the service was great. We will be back again next year, Thank you to Nigel and his team

I was looking forward to going to the Captains table as we tried to get in last year on our holiday but it was too busy. This year it wasn’t a problem as it was empty a lot. Sadly it was a huge let down and we won’t be going there again. The menu available is not the same as what is shown on the website and the options are not as good, quite a let down. I had the all day breakfast which came out very quickly, mainly due to most of it being like warm. The chips were just fat and had been deep fried several times. On the whole the meal was tasteless and badly cooked.

Have to agree with previous reviewer. The place has had a change of ownership since we were last down and we were concerned that it was virtually empty. Everyone was packed into another restaurant nearby. The food is not worth what we paid. Yes it was edible but I don't think the staff ever bother tasting it! The bolognese was very bland. The burger seemed to be burnt to make it look good but it tasted weird. I think the staff and food need a shake-up. We used to look forward to visiting this restaurant but it's gone down in our estimation. Come on, Captain's Table! You need to re-capture that magic you once had!

Not great food at all, admittedly we only had a cream tea but for Devon it was very disappointing. If you have the singular cream tea the jam and cream are put on for you, which we all found unusual. The jam was not proper jam, the runny compote type and it was advertised as clotted cream but was definitely not. Very disappointing considering we were in Devon!

Fish and chips Friday was fantastic, returned for Sunday lunch, it was equally delicious,topped off by a generous helping of banoffee pie, well worth a visit or two.

Sad this place will be temporarily closed for a rebuild from early Nov 24, as it was a great venue! Hope the lovely staff are re-hired for the new place

The food is amazing and the staff are so friendly. This is how a hospitality place should run. I would recommend going down here for a drink and a bite to eat
