We stayed for 2 nights in one of the upstairs apartments. What a special view over polzeath. The apartment was clean and had a welcome pack for the dog. The staff were as always lovely. It truly was home from home. The Food was good too. Thanks to all of the team. 10/10

Enjoyed an excellent evening meal at the Oystercatcher. Steak night ! The steaks were cooked as requested & accompanied by a most enjoyable glass of Merlot. Service was excellent & friendly, thank you so much to Mercedes & Kayna for making us feel so welcome.

We stumbled across this place on a trip away to Cornwall. We popped in for a drink after a day on the beach The staff were so friendly and helpful. A large carpark was also a bonus. The place was spotless and the view from the conservatory was stunning. We will be back to eat on our next trip as the menu looked great.

Some great views to be had, but inexplicably there is no drinks menu? The staff (clearly understaffed) don't know the available drinks which makes for a frustrating experience. Don't be fooled by the name—seafood does not feature on the menu other than the obligatory fish and chips.

Honourable mention to Kate (I think that was her name), and all other floor staff who were working on the 19th Sep between 9-10pm, exceptional service and they help provide the positive atmosphere, well done Oystercatcher, you smashed it again, as always!

Absolutely terrible service and food. Waiters were rude, and were growing impatient and showing it with my elderly mother. Food arrived cold, and my wife’s food had hair in it. Would strongly recommend against going. Only benefit is view but this is negated by the fact that most seating is in a crowded inside room in which you can not hear yourself think.

We visited on 27/8. They’ve made an effort to make the newish restaurant area quite smart but the overall experience could be improved greatly. Upon arrival we were shown to our table which was dirty and had rubbish on the floor around it. The menu and prices are commensurate with the location but it is a little generic ‘pub-grub’. The food was fine. However, the service was interesting. We were waited on by several members of staff and simultaneously kept waiting. No one seemed to really know what was going on and more organisation was required. We gave up waiting to pay the bill and went to the front of house, declining to leave a tip. The major faux pas was witnessing a waiter spraying cleaner on the table next to us without removing the water glasses, simply shoving them around. This prompted us to check our table and glasses which were indeed filthy. The same waiter seemed to have a fairly flippant attitude and other staff seemed fed up with him, which was apparent as a customer.

My wife ordered the Sea Trout in a Thai broth which when it arrived looked a bit like s starter, it was very small. The trout was well cooked but the broth didn’t taste anything like Thai more like a poor type of stock. My daughter had the tofu Tala Masala, the rice must have been fried to warm it up because a lot of the rice was crunchy and stuck together. There was no vegetables in the tika masala sauce bit of tofu in a bit runny sauce. I normally leave a tip when dining out but sadly tonight I just couldn’t.

Great experience on Sunday for a group of 9 of us for lunch. We were seated in the large room to the back, where the roof can open which was just perfect on a bright but breezy day. Views are fabulous in here. From the moment we arrived the service was excellent, and we al enjoyed out food - roasts, crab, burgers, lots of extras and sides. We were probably quite demanding as a group adding in drinks, sides and sauces every time someone came by but every request was greeted with big smiles and quick service. Honestly a great experience over lunch, thank you and well done to your team.

The Ostercatcher crew is extremely friendly, uncomplicated and helpful - definitely 100 points! The food in the bright, modern and hip restaurant is sophisticated and tasty, and the service here is also very friendly. Many thanks to Mercedes and Jasmin who made the stay perfect; The noisy heating in the cottage was also quickly resolved. We would love to come back here again.

We were looking forward to a nice meal on my husbands birthday that would reflect the reviews that have been posted. We ordered the Sunday lunches, one beef, and one lamb. However, all be it the service was good the food was not that good. The only decent part of the meal was the meat the veg was disappointing. If visiting this restaurant, I would only order the burgers or fish. Value for the cost of the meal no.

As a family with dog allergies we were expecting for dogs to be in the bar area or for assistant dogs to of course be present but there were 6 in the restaurent area,unfortunately we had to leave due to asthma being triggered and throat swelling. We understand it is diffulcult to avoid but do not expect dogs to be in a restaurent area where food is served as this is unfair on those with allergies.

Restaurant only visit We chose this place as it was close to our hotel and had some good reviews. On arriving, there is a small car park with the restaurant overlooking it. On entering the main building you are surprised at how big it is, the main bar area and the main restaurant. We were greeted by loud TVs showing football and if your not a football fan, suckitup. We were shown the restaurant and chose a table, were handed menus and asked for drinks. The menu is a little overpriced for the portion sizes. For example the monkfish bites were only 4 tiny pieces, the asparagus filo wrap with prosciutto and the smallest fish pie ive ever had. The wrapped filo with asparagus and prosciutto was way too salty and it overpowered the asparagus. The monkfish bites were good but tiny and the fish pie had great taste but only 2 prawns and quite watery. Recommendation Theres plenty of places in the area and i highly recommend Padstow harbour as they have better quality seafood dishes with larger portions and cheaper. The old ship hotel is highly recommended and they have a large fish pie for 20 quid. #garystribe #localguide #localguides #letsguide #cornwall #pubs #theoystercatcher #seafood

Went in for a Sunday Roast with my family. We had a reservation and were seated early which was nice. However, after waiting several minutes no one took our drink order so we went to the bar. The bartender was overwhelmed with orders, had no help and service was obviously slow. We wait 30+ minutes to be given notification it was our turn to queue for the carvery. 3 groups who arrived after us were served before us; frustrating. The food was nice. No one returned to the table to check on us, take additional drink orders or take dessert requests. So overall, the carvery was nice but the service was poor, left a lot to be desired.
