The Summer Grill in Ceredigion

I love it! Everything was wonderful

Manuka, the best takeaway! 😍 Thai salad is a favourite of mine.

This has now changed to a pop up street food marquee on the harbour side. It was ok. Not really as advertised and incredibly expensive for the mediocrity. Shame because, according to the chap who answered the phone, the chef has a Michelin star. The team seemed stressed and overwhelmed so maybe that affected the experience.

Amazing food Top staff Good environment Would struggle to beat for many times the price :)

Found this street food ‘tent’ after not being able to have food at the Harbournaster, and OMG what a find Asian influence, absolutely the best takeaway we have ever had and at 55 and 57 respectively we have had a lot of takeaways 🤣 Recommend Manuka street food Aberaeron any day, big plus also serves alcohol

What a shambles. A really poorly run place, apparently they can cook a bit but they can’t run a restaurant . Can’t take bookings correctly and didn’t have the common courtesy to phone us back as requested.

Perfect, incredible food and exceptional service.

Terrible service, good food spoilt by abysmal service. Waited 2 hours for a jug of water and peppercorn sauce arrived after we had finished the steak. Very expensive for what we waited over one & half hours for

During a lovely visit to Aberaeron we decided to have a carvery. We were very impressed with the meal. Also the lady serving the carvery was able to advise what was gluten free. She even got some fresh serving tongs when she learnt I was coeliac. That was a nice touch, 10/10.

We walked in and stood around a while until one of the busy waitresses noticed us and showed us to a table, many were empty even on Saturday night. I was keen to try the lobster - OK but not delicious. My husband was not impressed with the Hungarian goulash nor with the trifle. Quite a lot of money for an underwhelming experience.

Excellent service, excellent food, best meal we've had for a long time

Overpriced food of not very high quality ,to be honest we could of got just as good as quality in a harvester or beefeater for a fraction of the price. Very limited choice on the menu and no starters and not great service food was put on the table with no return to see if all was ok. Will never use again

Fabulous place great food and luvly staff.

Ate breakfast here twice on the trot the restaurant was lovely and the food exceptional and fairly priced it won the Welsh breakfast of the year no wonder a must when staying in Aberaeron

Called in without booking for a table for 5 people on a Sunday lunchtime, we were very lucky to have got there early enough & have a table. We were quickly served and the food was delicious the beef, roastie, parsnip & cauliflower cheese & yorkshire pudding is put on plate by chef but you then help yourself to the great range of vegetables on offer. No room for dessert but highly recommend the Sunday Lunch.

Not a good experience. Cosy restaurant with friendly staff, however my meal wasn't good. I ordered the medley of steaks, it looked fine when it was delivered but came with the bluntest steak knife ever, there were no napkins on the table for which the waitress apologised and brought us fresh ones. I resorted to the mouthful table knife which was better to use and tasted the fillet and rib eye steak which were good then tried the sirloin which unfortunately was off. If that wasn't enough to put me off I turned over one of the accompanying mushrooms to find a piece of bright blue plastic, exactly the type used to make the plasters that kitchen staff use when they have a cut. To be fair to the staff they were genuinely apologetic. I guess it was just one of those things that happen now and again. My wife had the goulash and she was more than happy with that, it looks like I was just unlucky.

Not too bad. Service was a little odd; difficult to explain! Steak was good. Starter and sweet were very small portions. Seems to cater for passing tourists. We've been there twice so no real complaints.

Top class . Lovely steak dinner, and a super breakfast with lovely staff. Very enjoyable

The menu was a little confusing! Not easy to read. Ran out of chicken it was only 7-30. Son enjoyed his T-bone, another really enjoyed his Brill! We were 6 in party no one else was overly impressed.

We spur of the moment decided on a sit down meal rather than fish and chips on the beach, and wound up here based on their menu (impressive looking, if not a little pricey). We had to wait 5 minutes for a table (not a problem given it was a Saturday night and we didn't have a booking), but then once we did get seated the service disappeared. It appears they had 3 waitresses, one who knew what she was doing, one who was recently trained, and one who was being trained. Basically, only the one waitress was running the whole restaurant. We kept getting forgotten about, and then our food took close to 40 minutes to arrive. When it did, for the amount we spent (£25 for fish, £28 for a large mixed grill), it was disappointing. The food was nice, don't get me wrong...but it was not worth the amount we spent. It was simply average. The service when we got it was lovely, the waitress was incredibly friendly and apologetic for all of the waiting, but it got ridiculous. We had to get up and walk out to pay (having asked for our bill 10 minutes earlier). Nice ambience and setting, but over priced and understaffed.

Hubby and I decided on a date night while on holiday, leaving the teenage boys to feed themselves! We were very warmly welcomed by a fabulous waitress who was so smiley and bubbly, the restaurant was fairly quiet but the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We chose the vegetarian lasagne, crevettes, sherry trifle and apple pie and the food was delicious, served beautifully and without a doubt the best lasagne (apart from my own of course!) I have ever tasted, the whole experience was made even better by the ever so lovely waitress who really is a gem to keep.

We visited on Saturday 25th May for an evening meal after reading some reviews on here. We were booked in at 8.15 and were surprised how quiet it was for a Saturday night. We both had the 10oz fillet steaks which were beautifully cooked and accompanied with chips, mushrooms and grilled tomato. The waitresses were very attentive and we couldn't fault the service we received. My only criticism was the lack of choice of starters, only two on the menu, this was the only disappointing aspect of the lovely restaurant. If the owner would only insert a few more choices in that department it would be a perfect little place to eat.

Outstanding service and food!!!! Wow!!!! Get there, tuck into the iron man mixed grill

Fantastic breakfast, friendly service, excellent quality food. The homemade toast is worth prompting a visit alone! Brilliant.

Love this place, Fawlty Towers experience with very good food 😂

Had a family meal here menus very pricey so if your on a budget not for you..we had the winter grill very nice £11.95 all cooked nice...my daughter had gammon but to salty for her ...curry nice so I.m told..vegetable lasagna wife said was nice... bad bits the waitress didn't have a clue what she was doing kept forgetting things badly un trained on what was on the menu didn't no what come with what...THE NIGHT WAS SPOILT by being over charged for one meal...and also being charged for the wrong meal totaling an extra £5. On the bill which took awhile to sort out..PLEASE CHECK YOUR BILL...

To find such elegance and quality, in a small town is refreshing. I would suggest you pay a visit.

Fantastic breakfast.....reasonable

Great atmosphere. Fantastic food, good service. Will go again

The restaurant is a bit of a surprise, bigger and smarter than it looks from the outside Friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Beautifully cooked and presented skate wing. Good choice of drinks. Reasonably priced. Would return, as many other customers appear to. Service was a bit slow, but not a problem, busier than they thought.

We have meant to visit the Summer Grill for some time, but last night was the first occasion ... it will not be the last.

Outstanding! Breakfast was fantastic, both food and service.

From the warm welcome to the delicious food everything was perfect . Nothing was too much trouble for our lovely waitress.

Decided to treat ourselves to a roast dinner that we didn’t have to cook ourselves, but wish we hadn’t bothered!! Have given the Summer Grill a few goes over the years as it’s one of our local restaurants. The service was okay but could have been better And a bit more professional.

Nice restaurant but food was average. Too much pepper on the steak that masked the taste. Service was ok but we were well overcharged at the end for one of the dishes - previous reviews mention this as well so if you go here watch that!

We had a long day of travelling ahead of us so wanted a good breakfast to keep us going. The Summer Grill definitely delivered. Would go back again.

don't bother going my partner ordered a skate and it came to the table and it smelt of ammonia was told by owner that it wasn't off it can taste like that I don't think so

better service at mcdonalds waited over an hour for drinks then where wrong ! food was exelent but yet again waited over an hour in short good food worst service i have ever had!! avoid !!

Like many I am sure I was saddened by the closure of the Feathers with its great Sunday carvery. Delighted that The Summer Grill has done something to fill this slot. Menu not anything like as extensive but really fresh, good quality food and great value too. Will definitely come back. Would advise booking as it was , not surprisingly, very busy.

Beautiful food and fantastic service. Highly recommended

A great meal, quality excellent friendly staff and not rushed even though it was getting busy

We went to The Summer Grill one evening and both of us had the beef curry, the restaurant is clean and smart and the staff friendly. The curry was very tasty and reasonably priced, the mango chutney however was charged at £2.50 for a small amount in a dish enough for 1 person, so we paid £5.00 as we both wanted mango chutney, which is normally given as a condiment with curry. I feel it would be better for them to charge a bit more for the curry and include all that goes with it in the price, which wouldn't make you feel you have been overcharged for something. I know it was our choice to have it but I could have bought two full jars for that price. Apart from that we were totally satisfied with what we had and would return again.

An understated restaurant I had kippers and laver bread, brilliant breakfast. staff were very helpful. Hope to visit again one day.

Fabulous food a proper fine dining experience lovely food delicious lobster served properly with crusher and pick to get all the meat Excellent waitress made me feel very welcome and not conscious of dining alone and a to die for sorbet orange and Cointreau Yom you will definitely be back

Excellent fillet steak, cooked to perfection (I liked the descriptions of the cooking of steaks on the menu). The White Chocolate Panacotta was delicious! Recommended.

Definitely The Best breakfast I have ever eaten in my life, top quality produce cooked to absolute perfection, service was brilliant, Maria couldn’t be more helpful, place was spotless, I highly highly recommend this lovely quaint restaurant/ bed and breakfast! We shall be back !

We only stopped at the take away counter of this large restaurant to take advantage of the famous Honey Ice Cream they serve, 7 of us enjoyed a mixture of all your favourite flavours but all with a hint of honey, awesome and special.

Made an impromptu visit last Friday,looking for a Table for 6 at about 8.30pm. Clearly they had had a busy night but we were welcomed with open arms, a smile and a joke and quickly shepherded to a lovely inside table. The menu is a bit of meat fest for those of us who are carnivores. The mixed Grill (ordinary one as opposed to the iron man), T Bone Steak and Fillet Steaks were served to perfection. Really just as you would expect with a restaurant with the sort of reviews you find here but what was really unexpected was the quality of the vegetarian options. This is much more than just a grill and the mediterranean vegetable tart was one of the best my wife had had.

Lovely setting, both inside and out. Waitresses very attentive and food very good. Well worth a visit.

My friend and I stopped here last saturday morning about 8am as we were travelling from North to South Wales. We were recommended this place by a local man, and as it was so early in the morning, there was little else open. What a pleasant suprise, we were greeted by a lovely cheerful young lady who couldnt do enough for us. We both had scrambled eggs on brown bread, which tasted heavenly! We will definately stop here next time we are passing x

Visited here tonight for the first time, it was very very busy, couple of large groups as well as smaller tables.

Very nice steak.. But we ordered surf and turf and king prawns on side.. The meal was to die for but when we got the bill we were shocked it was 94. 00...they put down our food down individually.. So we got chargered per item instead of surf and turf and something extra..so becareful when you order make sure they write down what you order properly .

Food is okay but slow arriving. Restaurant facilities are good but harbour views are restricted......no outside dining which is a downside.

The starter and dessert were good enough. The Gammon and chips however was poor. the chips were thin and only warm and the piece of gammon was very small and very hard to cut, it was completely dried out.

From the greeting at the door, the ambiance of the restaurant, the table setting and the prompt service were fantastic. I didn't think it could get any better and then the food arrived - the most delicious Sea Bass, cooked to perfection and served with homemade tartar sauce, new potatoes and crushed minted mushy peas, that allowed the fish to stand out and sing on the plate. We will be coming back very soon.

We stayed at the property in May 2018 for one night and enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the Summer Grill restaurant, it is one of the best food I have ever had .. Please try the seafood chowder, battered oysters for dinner ( it is fabulous).. and breakfast is a must try too with plenty options.. What completely stands out along with mindblowing and superlicious food is the friendly and ever so helpful and understanding staff, better service than you would see in any five star property (have stayed in few), amazing plating ( you just fall for this ), and so much creativity on the food plate!

Came here as the place we originally intended to visit had closed down. Although quiet, the ambience was very pleasant with good service and a warm welcome. We chose from the Spring Dining Menu - 3 courses for only £14.99. At that price we were not expecting miracles....but we were very pleasantly surprised. Starters of Spanish tortilla and bread and olives were very good. Mains were salmon and steak. Both extremely tasty and well presented. For desert we opted for the sorbet - Damson and raspberry flavours, a perfect way to finish off the meal. The wine to accompany was also excellent - and the wine list was extensive. As an addendum to this review, we returned within the week and had another excellent meal, this time having plaice goujons instead of the salmon, superb! Cannot wait to eat here again

I am a foodie and can be choosy at times!

Went to Aberaeron for a weekend break and decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal out. The summer grill menu looked interesting. I had skate my husband goulash. Lovely. Starters were an issue as we couldn’t have some bread from a different menu ? ! But the mushrooms were lovely . Food a little slow but beautiful. Service so ponderous it was slightly hilarious. But overall worth a try .

Visited The Summer Grill with my husband and father today after we discovered that our B&B; in a nearby town only offered continental breakfast, and the majority of the local cafes were not open on a Sunday. We had decided to visit Aberaeron anyway so they could see the sea, then we had the good luck to spot the "Open for breakfast" sign and we didn't need telling twice! We all ordered the traditional Welsh breakfast (2 rashers of bacon, sausage, fried egg, tomato, mushroom and toast), but asked for black pudding to be added too - and it was so worth it. Everything was really tasty and cooked just the way we liked it. While we were there a group of workmen also came in plus a large family group, and they were clearly busy, but they coped well.

Really high quality local products. Very friendly service. relaxing atmosphere. Love the laverbread choices to give a real welsh seaside feel. Get there before 11.45 to have the brunch menu.

I had a steak which was excellent, my huband had wild Seabass. he had only eaten farmed before & was blown away by the flavour. This has always been his favourite fish, now his taste has been elevated.

As we live in Ceredigion we had to try the Summer Grill. We were not disappointed. The Summer Grill really did offer possibly the best food and value for good eating in Aberaeron. Its not cheap but you receive good quality produce and service, you definetly get what you pay for. The produce was really fresh and you can tell it has been carefully selected and prepared before it arrives on the table. For our mains we ordered steaks, I had a Ribeye and my wife a Sirlon both were cooked as requested and were possibly the best in the area. We had a nice evening and we will definetly go back.

8 of us booked to eat at this restaurant on a Saturday night as it was attached the B&B; we were staying at. Service was brilliant, nothing too much trouble and the food was lovely. We all had starters that came out together and the mains were very good value for money, so much so that we all struggled to finish. Plus, an extensive wine list. breakfast the next morning was just as good, highly recommended

Very dissapointed with our meal last night. Took our son, who is home from Dubai out for birthday meal.....steak was dreadful and service very, very poor.

Breakfast is lovely, bacon is so good. Nice to sit in the window looking over the harbour. Food hot and very tasty.

Went here for a celebratory treat, and it was fantastic. Food was brill, and the staff were very lovely. Cute little place to eat!

I marked this as average, but it was a close one to mark it poor ! It looks very nice, and the waitress was very good, but the food was a let down, my wife had lobster....very small, with almost nothing inside the shell ! The waitress apologised and asked if my wife would like some prawns, reluctantly she did, only to be further disappointed, a handful just fried, with no dressing on some salad, very uninspiring ! my dinner monkfish scampi was ok, but again not great, we skipped desert, and reluctantly paid the bill and left...never to return ! Strangely a couple left just before us, and sounded very happy with their meal.....I cant imagine what they had. I should have known,just six people in on a quite busy area on a friday night, while some of the other places were quite full....this looked very promising, very attractive inside and out, but of course that does,nt really mean anything !! value for money would only be 1 out of 10.

A really lovely breakfast here with high quality bacon and sausages. The lady serving us was very friendly. Bread was hand cut from a proper loaf with butter and home made jam.

This restaurant was originally called "Manuka", and under a new name we were keen to sample the new menu. Starters were nicely presented and tasty. I had the plaice fillet (or was it the monkfish?), and my partner the sea-bass, both served with new potatos and veg.(there was also choice of french-fries etc.). We finished with desserts of tiramisu and a strawberry cheesecake-like creation, both very tasty! The only down-side to our visit was poor organisation the wine cellar, which resulted in our wine not being found, but my suggested subsitute was quickly found. The staff were really good, helpful and friendly. This restaurant also does interesting & traditional breakfasts.

We loved this quirky restaurant with some real characters serving the food. We got the sense the food was local with a real Welsh flavour. Steak was excellent. There is a good wine list and the dining room is interesting. Definitely worth a visit

Had the most amazing welsh ribeye steak last night it was gorgeous. You have to go. Fries were lovely and crisp the staff were lovely and the restaurant was lovely. I would drive a hundred miles back for a weekend and repeat the experience.

Lovely food ,chowder , sea bass and tiramisu all cooked to perfection . My wife had crab cakes , steak and cheese cake which again was really good .Veg was extra if you wanted it . Our table was really cramped , my wife's chair was against the mans chair behind her and they had to apologise every time they moved . The back of my chair was against the wall so I couldn't move . Ordered wine but had to ask again as it didn't turn up .Waitressing was totally disorganised delivering mains when starter plates hadn't been taken away and just a bit right hand not knowing what left hand was doing . Beautiful place , gorgeous food but spoiled by poor staffing .

Being part of the review given by MJayneJ - I would want to confirm what occurred that evening and add the impact to our evening as well. Being fair and objective in this review, I ordered a sirloin steak which was cooked exactly as ordered...which would suggest an ability/skill in the kitchen to achieve this 'non exact science'!!!Whilst I accept that mistakes occur, the pedigree of a restaurant comes from how that mistake is dealt with. Being able to see the situation from the customer's point of view is essential in determining the best way to rectify the situation for all concerned. The owner/manager did not have the ability to manage the situation that evening. He has poor people skills arising from an inability to listen to customer - he perhaps needs to take some of those lessons from his staff who were the ones who understood our concerns and apologised on his behalf. An experience of feeble excuses and poor quality cooking....

I happened upon this restaurant whilst entertaining a client, it delivers a quality that in modern times is infrequently experienced. They are delivering traditional values, with impeccable food, perfectly presented. Our waitress made our evening flow, with unrivalled service, thank-you to Maria and the whole team.

I have visited this restaurant three times in as many months . The first time was in June when we went with a friend. We all ordered different steaks and although a little pricy we were all pleased with the quality of the food and the service provided - so much so my husband and I visited the following month . This time my husband's steak was not quite cooked as he had requested and when we received the bill we were overcharged for the wine. We did not complain as we thought perhaps it was a one off . We gave it a third chance last night with some friends who were visiting . This time the service was poor as was some of the food. My husband ordered a fillet steak medium cooked which they describe as no blood and slightly pink . When it arrived there was blood on the plate and the inside was raw. It was sent back and when it returned it had been seered on the outside but was still not cooked in the middle. It was sent back a third time and when it arrived it was well done . Understandably at this point my husband had lost his appetite and had no wish to eat alone as we had all finished our meals Whilst all this was going on a member of staff tried to make excuses for the chef and did not seem to grasp the fact that we wanted to enjoy our meal together and it was unacceptable that my husband was expected to eat alone . We explained to him that we should expect our food to be served at the same time and cooked the way we like it. When we had responses for his poor excuses of why there were problems cooking the steak we were told 'cooking steak is not an exact science' what does that even mean? He obviously did not have a clue what he was talking about and it was shoddy customer service. In the end we just asked for the bill and refused to pay for my husbands meal. All in all a ruined evening and we won't be going back !

Children's portions very tiny. Fish was chewy as it isn't fresh, it's previously frozen and tasteless.

We eat at this restaurant on the second night of our short break . The menu contained mainly local sourced fish and steak . There was a curry and a home made pie option as well . I chose crab fish cakes as a starter and Welsh Sirloin Steak for my main corse . I must say both were superb . The waiting staff we pleasant and attentive.

Food was delicious. Service was a little slow but that didn't bother us as we weren't in any rush. The dessert choice was quite limited, but we had a very pleasant meal

Lovely food. Service not as bad as others stated. Limited deserts. Very expensive non alcoholic cocktails.

A party of six on a Saturday night with a full restaurant- could be trouble? Not at the Summer Grill where the very busy and expert staff found time to chat- a Pole here a Portuguese there, all charming and efficient. Even had a few words with Peter the owner of over forty years (he's the one in the bow tie) Steaks received rave reviews and the plaice and monkfish were meaty and baked to perfection. An interesting wine list too with some surprises- we chose Spanish and were not disappointed. Well done!

Sehr gute Küche und absolut freundlicher Service!

The best Steak I have ever had!

If you like a trendy buzz this is not the place for you; there are hard-surfaced glitzy bars further round the pretty harbour where you'll have to scream your order in the barman's ear, whereas the Summer Grill is quietly sedate; perhaps even a touch old fashioned. But they gave us the largest, juiciest, best-value lobsters my wife and I have ever found. Perhaps that's not the most testing of dishes for a coastal restaurant to prepare, but what was most impressive was the problem-solving. They'd run out of mayonnaise (the proper stuff and it had curdled), so we asked for garlic butter. What we got was an utterly delicious wild garlic sauce, knocked up there and then by the chef out his store-cupboard. That's flair and I'd trust him with any dish. It was a new way with lobster (or new to us) but my-oh-my, it works, so order while stocks last; there won't be another garlic harvest till next spring.

Called here on Saturday 8th as a treat. I'm not saying it's cheap as it's not, but,good food comes at a price and if your used to 2 meals for 12 quid don't bother. But if you want quality food then this place is for you. The fish chowder as a starter was delicious. My wife had the fillet medallions that melted in the mouth and I had the rich mans mixed grill that consisted of an 18oz t bone , that I like rare, an 8 oz gammon steak, 1 amazing pork sausage and hand cooked chips. All washed down with a reasonably priced lovely Syrah red wine. All I can say is what a lovely meal. Would go back every night of the week.

What great food . The T bone steak was fantastic not homemade chips as says on menu but still great food and a very tasty Eton mess for pudding. Will deformation be going back.

Nice welcoming atmosphere. Delicious steaks. Service good, didnt have to wait long for food. Will be returning.

Maten var helt ok. Tydelig at dette var et populært sted - nesten fullt.Betjeningen var hyggelig, og skapte en god stemning. Prismessig lå de litt i overkant. Ikke full valutta for pengene.

The food here is fantastic. Easily the best steak I have ever eaten. I had the he-man which was an 18oz hand cut T-Bone with an 8oz gammon steak, sausage and chips. A hearty dish but the quality of the produce was obviously top notch. Why not 5 star? Unfortunately the service was a real let down. The serving staff were pleasant but amateurish at best. This isn't the cheapest of places to eat and I would have expected a better dining experience for the price. TL;DR fantastic food let down by the service

small ish and very intimate, easy to find from the main street. service can be a bit slow, but the food is well worth the wait - freshly cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, good for fish and meat eaters and some choices for vegetarians. worth booking a table as it can soon get busy. not accessible for anyone with mobility difficulties due to a step to get in, narrow walkways and toilet access.

see my review under 'Manuka' as this is what this eatery is now called. so every good thing I have said about Manuka is true here of course...Trip Advisor please note - this name has changed and should not be listed!!

This place has changed it's name ( check website) the food was amazing. We had fishcakes and onion tart with goat's cheese to start which were very good, thou the fishcakes were small. We also ordered crispy pork belly as an appetizer but this arrived after the starts? But was still very good. I then had suckling pig three ways which again was wonderful, my wife had roasted cod which also was wonderful. We shared a chocolate desert which was also very good. OK so the service was slow and it was not cheap, great wine list but the cheapest bottle was£19! Overall would recommend for special occasions.

had our first meal here on 30th april and another one just a day later me and my wife have never had such amazing orgasmic food every morsel was gorgeous i had the exact same food both nites and the food was the same great taste and the staff were easy to talk to and have a laugh with as ive been waitering for 12 years and know what it is like.they were so knowledgeable and helpful would love to work in this restaurant ive worked in 2 restaurants in my time and none even come close to this splendid place to find and we will certainly be back for our 10 anniversary and hopefully more thanks for making us feel so welcomeand thank you for the macaroons they were lovely mr and mrs lenton

Good central location, nice setting. Pleasant staff and helpful. Little pricy and small portions would benefit if served with selection of veggies. All courses presented well and cooked to excellant standard. Would go again.

l have visited this restaurant many times over the winter its a very nice restaurant well laid out good attentive staff the quality of food is excellent both meat and fish and curries my compliments to the chef l will visit again but l am concerned that prices have increased for the summer season

The setting is very attractive with the harbour just outside although there is not a great view from the rear dining room. The decor is quite stylish with rustic tables and chairs and many tasteful objects d' art. The staff are friendly and attentive. The menu is very meat based with attractive portions of Welsh beef and lamb but at rather unattractive prices. Our group had fish, the salmon was very fresh, well prepared, beautifully presented and tasty as was the battered fish. The monkfish scampi however was rather disappointing. Only 6 small bite size portions (frozen) with 'home made' chips, I think not. At £13 plus £5 for vegetable side dishes it was a bit of a let down. The deserts were another matter. The rhubarb melba and the cheese board were both excellent but again in common with all UK restaurants there is never any bread on the table. After 45 minutes wait we did get a dish of olives.

This was our first visit to this cosy restaurant. The website and menu looked promising showing nice presentation and locally sourced food.Not a huge menu but very good choice, this is a good indication they prefer to do a few things well, i hate it when i see dozens of choices because you know they can,t keep all that choice in fresh.For starters i had scallops with chorizo and tomato, perfectly cooked, i tried my husbands large prawns again very tasty, and crispy belly of pork and whitebait also looked very good, and was reported excellent.I had spiced monkfish scampi, which had beed coated with delicate spices that enhanced not overwhelmed the delicate flavour of the fish.I had thought of sea bass, which someone else had usually you get a small fillett of sea bass, this was a whole sea bass beautifully cooked.Several people had steak, and all were cooked exactly as requested and very tender and tasty. The chips or new potatoes were served separately,The deserts were all served in individual portions,freshly made, not bought in from mass caterers like so many places. i had a very nice tarte tatin, my husband who never usually eats deserts or trifle had the rhubarb trifle,topped with passion fruit granita along with son in law and they scraped the dishes clean, and declared it tasty and excellentI visited the ladies while there, and was pleased to find nice quality,lovely smelling handwash and hand cream. Individual flannel sized sparkling white hand towels, this is a very thoughtful touch.So overall good food, nice touches they deserve to do well.

Me and mu husband visited this restaurant Saturday evening, we had 3 courses all of which were delicious. Service was excellent very friendly all staff very knowledgeable about all the dishes how and where they were sourced etc ( a lot of the meat hung on the premises ) all dishes presented beautifully, a nice relaxed atmosphere. All in all a lovely night and great food.

Limited menu but what they do is very good. Lovely steaks and fish dishes.Side dishes and salad bar could be improved. Wine selection good.

There was a large sign outside saying Lobster Rolls so I went in and ordered one on Browne Bread. When we went back to the house to eat it I was very disappointed, there was a lot of bread but not much lobster.
