Booked a table on 28th January for a meal 5 people on 27th February in memory of our mum (her birthday) who had passed. Turned up and was told they no longer do food on Mondays and Tuesdays. So I said we booked, he got the diary and lo and behold there it was table for 5 at 6pm. He didn't know who took the booking and just apologised. So we had to go elsewhere

Best food we have had in a very long time! The beef rendang was outstanding! Fresh and full of of flavour. Never had Asian fusion food done so well! We will be back with family and friends. Thanks again to the brilliant staff (Lady who had the Twins) sorry we can't remember your name but your recommendations were perfect!

Had a lovely lunch at this rather off the beaten track restaurant. Good range of seafood, and also non-seafood, on the menu. The serving staff were friendly and efficient. Interesting boards by the entrance door, giving the history of the building going back quite some time. The site of a former chapel?

We had 4 dogs with us and were made very welcome and water was provided without being asked. It was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and the chap who was not only managing the bar, but also serving the food was very obliging and nothing was too much trouble. There was a good selection on the menu and the food was good value for money and served hot. A very enjoyable meal after a bracing dog walk along the beach.

Me my wife and our family went for roast dinner on the 10/09/2023 and I can honestly say it was the worst roast I've ever eaten it all started when are dinner first turned up and 3 people who had pork belly asked for apple sauce and complained about the taste ,my son being one of them said it tastes like it had gone off and then my daughter had the beef which was as tough as leather we said to one of the waitresses about our issues and she did apologise but we had no response from the owners or the chef, when my wife went to pay their was no mention of money off the bill which cost us £156, not good practice by the oyster pearl I expected better from them as the holiday park opposite is where my mum and dad spend a lot of time and eat in the pub most evenings and had recommended the food I must say we had a meal in their on Thursday evening and it was very nice but the roast dinner was horrible and I'm not one to complain I'll eat just about anything but the roast dinner was not good.

The espresso martini was actually listed on the special drink board for 12 pound but it was just dirty coffe water without any kalua or vodka!

We chose this place randomly and the gamble paid off. We thought the staff were excellent from the moment we walked in and throughout the time we were there. Very attentive, knew the menu and drinks available. The food arrived promptly and hot! We had a variety of dishes from the Pan Asian Fusion element of the menu. We all found the dishes very tasty with the unique flavours. The menu seemed reasonably priced and definitely worth a visit.

First visit with family… daughter & 2 year old grandson, son & partner, and us. Firstly I was hugely impressed with the garden where one finds beautiful healthy veg and herbs growing, secondly it’s super clean and the atmosphere is calming… Our food was all delicious, we had a variety of dishes from South East Asian to Vegan nut roasts and the yummy creamy mushroom pie. It has to be said that the Vegan dishes were better than good, far exceeded our expectations as Vegan food is too oft a disappointment (I briefly saw chef and thanked her). The young woman who served us was lovely and her service was exemplary… I was hugely impressed and was amazed they ‘do’ a Vegan Sunday Roast… all of us enjoyed our first experience at The Oyster Pearl and will no doubt return soon as we have a holiday home close by. Finally it was such an unexpected surprise to find the lush kitchen garden, loved it !!!

Our first visit and can genuinely recommend. Nice atmosphere and busy (but not overcrowded). Really good value for money Tempura prawns (my wife tells me they're the best tempura prawns she's had!) and scallop starters both really well cooked and tasty. Main courses of Rendang Beef and Moule Frit both excellent (my mussels were one of the nicer ones I've had. Too many places overcook them but not here). I had read one review which complains about portion size but we found they were ample. Service was prompt, certainly no issues on that front. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner - oh, and the house red is worth a punt.
