The Third Crossing in Waveney

First visit to this fabulous restaurant, a hidden gem. Went for my partners birthday whilst staying in the area but would happily travel from home to this perfect place for a meal. Fantastic food, great service by a lady called Jane. Would highly recommend this place. Compliments to the chef, well done, spot on. Had the crab/prawn croquettes and pork belly for starters, followed by lobster & prawn tagitelli 😁

Found this place by chance looking for a birthday meal venue. Ordered lobster tails and parmesan chips, absolutely delicious. Friendly prompt staff. A delightful experience. Wholeheartedly recommend!

The food was fabulous. Ribeye, Lemon Sole and Paella were absolutely delicous. Excellent attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Had a valentines meal, service of staff was 100% professional and very friendly. Food was absolutely 1st class, with nothing but the best, fresh ingredients and the ambience was spot on.

Many times visited during summer and new year and yet today food poor. Selected menu and yet paella so dry had to scrape off pan , burgers burnt and even after re cooked still not good. Had lobster tails in garlic butter so tough could not un shell , and then sick. Complained and told was chefs speciality...not today. 2 meals returned and no re impulse

Ate here a couple of nights ago while working at Lowestoft Marina. Not a huge menu but very nice! My starter and main were delicious and good portion sizes. Good beer too. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Utilitarian venue, canteen character. Steak had been cooked as requested but was cold when served at the table. Limp salad from the bag. Sparse grilled tomato and mushroom, no onion rings, good chips. Friendly attentive staff but high on price low on quality.

What a lovely little place. Excellent food, generous portions, a nice ambience and great staff. A free parking space near the marina and a good view of marina and boats. I had lobster & prawn linguini and hubby had fish & chips, both absolutely delicious. We will definitely be going back and recommend it.

Booked to eat here with friends for Christmas. The menu looked really good and had high hopes! Arrived to a brightly lit dining area and shown to our table. The waiter was very polite and friendly. We had pre ordered so no waiting around. The starters all round seemed ok. I had prawn cocktail so can’t go wrong really. For main I had ordered beef bourguignon. When it arrived it was served with cubes potatoes and no vegetables. I asked to see if I would please have some. This was not a problem and the veg arrived. Unfortunately the sprouts were very hard but the rest were fine. The beef however was so so dry and so was my friends so we presumed this was how it came so didn’t complain. It wasn’t cubes of beef it was one piece of beef steak! It has no real flavour. I did eat it I was starving as I hadn’t eaten lunch.The dessert wasnt much better This was a roulade and didn’t come with the coulis. It was soggy almost slimy.My Friends chocolate orange cheesecake had a jelly like texture and didn’t come with the lemon curd ice cream as advertised. The whole meal was a disappointment really. It’s the first visit to here and I don’t think I’ll return sadly. The ambience was all wrong. The lighting the music. It’s a no from me.

Food was terrible. We all had the Christmas set menu and were completely disappointed. Budget ingredients, tasteless. My turkey actually looked like a giant witchity grub and was dry as sticks. 2 friends had the beef Which left us speechless, not a vegetable in sight, although another friend had cod which she said was nice and it did look well presented. All in all a terrible experience never to be repeated.

We booked in for a Christmas meal on Friday 8th December , we were a party of eight . The food was five star and the service was excellent. We have all eaten in the Third Crossing numerous times in the past and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend a visit

Went for breakfast which was excellent value with quality produce. The member of staff was very welcoming and sadly we were the only people in there, but they are fully booked for the evening which is lovely to hear. Well worth a visit!!!

Absolutely amazing, second visit in a month. Fabulous lobster and partner chose a 24oz steak and the chef actually brought the steak out to show him. I had the pigeon breast starter and lobster amazing. The staff were very polite and attentive. Beautiful setting. Had Cajun king prawns for stater beautiful and do juicy

Good quality seafood, the dishes are to die for! Amazing food and service looking forward to returning!

Good wholesome food at reasonable prices - They do not skimp on portion sizes - very nice, very tasty. Good Food, Good Prices, Good Beer what more can you ask for.

We found this lovely seafood and steak restaurant on trip advisor. Very friendly place to visit with very tasty nice food.

Four of us visited the restaurant for lunch, we booked however there were several tables free when we arrived. Service staff were the same as when we were last here many months ago, polite and helpful. One of our companions asked for Hunters Chicken which...

Most definitely the second best breakfast I’ve ever had! Fresh, hot, cooked perfectly and very tasty. The staff were very friendly. The service was prompt, the premises were clean. What’s not to like? In case you are wondering, the best breakfast - mine! I used...

Just enjoyed a high quality meal with friends. Excellent service and five star food . Can’t wait to go back

Regular venue for us and always a great meal. Plenty of local fresh fish, steaks and always try a lobster from the tank. We will of course return again whenever the opportunity arises for great food and service.

Very disappointing,it was greasy and burnt bits all over the bacon, despite being told they made a great breakfast i will not be going back.

Very happy with our visit to Third Crossing. Four of us enjoyed our starters & main courses, Prawns to start. Two of us had the Hake hitch was cooked beautifully & the potatoes & veg were the same. Men had the burgers which they too...

Scallops were rubbery and didn't taste of much. Lobster was chewy. At that price, I certainly won't be returning

Just had a fabulous meal at The Third Crossing ,4 of us had different meals including lobster and steak ,everything was beautifully presented very tasty could not fault anything. Lovely and friendly staff . The restaurant was nice and warm.

Seafood is delicious and well cooked. Never under-cooked, which I detest. I have had the rib-eye stake as well and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection - I asked for rare (not raw!). Just awesome. The owner and staff are always attentive and available,...

A group of 10 friends enjoyed excellent food from the Christmas menu . The food was excellently presented and of really good quality . The service was first class . I have eaten at this restaurant on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed.

An early evening visit for a table of 4. Such good choices took us a while to decide. We had to try the starters -particularly the lobster croquettes which were delicious. All mains were well presented and tasty. The service was very good. We travelled...

Really lovely atmosphere and very attentive friendly staff. Main meal was nice, however the starter of thai fishcakes was awful. They seemed to of been cooked from frozen and were like golf balls. Really disappointed as in the past they have been a favourite. Too...

We had a lovely seafood meal, the staff were friendly and helpful with the items on the menu. would go back. A little difficult to find the restaurant

Enjoyed a lunch here on saturday. My partner really enjoyed his burger. Extremely tasty. I chose the plaice and chips. Lovely light crispy batter complimented the fish. Chunky chips. Unfortunately a few under cooked. Great service as always. Thankyou.

I went with family for a birthday meal. There was a lovely selection of food, we nearly all had fish - scallops, wild sea bass, cod, sole, lobster gratin and salmon. It was all wonderfully cooked and served beautifully. We had a great meal and...

Great food staff very friendly we will be back soon for another lobster steak or maybe something else as the menu has it all

Having shared a few beers last week, we thought we'd try the food here. It was a lovely afternoon and we turned up at 5.30, ordered beer and food and sat in the sunshine. My swordfish was delicious with fresh salad and a wonderful fruit...

Gorgeous food! Beautifully cooked and presented. Friendly and attentive staff. Lovely setting. Very much enjoyed by us all.

Came on a Saturday night & things looked promising as car park looked busy, welcomed by a pleasant young waitress & shown to a near empty but cosy restaurant, ordered drinks which arrived quick, looked at menu & specials, opted starters off specials & mains...

I think the title says it all. Also, for somewhere that purports to be a 'seafood and steak restaurant' having the only fish chef's special as mass-farmed salmon is a poor do, given Lowestoft's fishing heritage and the location of the restaurant. Overpriced, low quality...

We went here for breakfast as it had good reviews. We waited for an age for someone to take our order. The tea was far too strong, almost black. The eggs were cooked well but the bacon was almost burnt. My wife sent her black pudding back. It was just too bloody. The sausages seemed to be made out of pig's testicles or something similar.We will be in no hurry to return here again.

Our favourite place for breakfast. (and evening meal) always a warm welcome. I chose the english breakfast and my partner smoked haddock with poached egg. Both plates arrived well presented as always. Quality ingredients. We enjoyed our chosen dishes. Accompanied by toast and hot drinks....

A chilly January Monday night and we were the only diners, but still had a warm welcome and a lovely meal - we love this place!!

We love everything about this place. The ambience, staff, service and food. Enjoyed two full English breakfasts today. Service is second to none.(Gill?) Food lovely quality and of course presented lovely. I have to mention the toilets. Absolutely immaculate. Keep up the great work. Thank...

I visited this restaurant approximately 3 years ago whilst visiting family and had a wonderful meal hence the reason for returning, the menu had changed but in the end we decided to go with the fish and chips due to the photograph on their website...

We were a party of 16 on Saturday 25th September, all but one of the meals was preordered as we were such a large party and the restaurant was busy. the staff were excellent, our meals were served quickly, were well presented and everyone enjoyed...

We had been on a river trip on Oulton Broad and researched a restaurant for lunch. This is a hidden gem in the marina. Don't be put off by the route off the main road. We both had Sirloin Steak and half a Lobster in...

This place was a great find! Had an evening meal here, the food was fantastic, decent portions and reasonably priced too. Primarily a fish restaurant that offers fresh seafood, you can even choose your own lobster. There are also tasty dishes, if like myself, you...

What a fantastic place to eat. The ambiance was lovely as soon as we walked in and the staff were very attentive. As for the food, it was tasty, well presented, hot on arrival and I cleared my plate of halibut. All the courses we...

I found this restaurant online and from the reviews booked in for dinner. The restaurant sits literally on the marina. We We had the table booked for 8pm and arrived slightly earlier. This was not a problem and our table was ready. The restaurant and...

The route into Haven Marina is rather daunting. Driving past the security fencing and what looks like a boat graveyard one is asking what sort of restaurant is this going to be half expecting a rusty corrugated tin shack inhabited by jack-tars and salty sea...

The food was super but could not hear yourself think. Two large groups who did a lot of swearing which will put us off returning.

Good service and good quality of food. Everyone on our table enjoyed their food and the portion sizes were considerable. Staff were young and a little inexperienced, but attentive. Chocolate cola cake for dessert was a little disappointing - just tasted like warm, overcooked sponge cake.

Very nice food, well presented and served with a smile. Definitely recommended. It is tucked away in Haven Marina so keep going when you get to the Marina gates and you will find it. Outside tables have a lovely view of the boats.

We were tired having walked all the way from Kessingland in warm weather having struggled through many roadworks to get to the restaurant. However, tired also summed up what we thought of the place. The curtains looked tired and many of the overhead lights had failed and not been replaced, contributing to this impression. We arrived during the afternoon and decided to sit inside. The only other people in the room when we arrived were members of staff.It being described as a fish restaurant we'd hoped for a wide choice of freshly locally caught fish on the menu, but in that we were disappointed. There was the option of a whole or a half lobster and we were intrigued by a Lobster and King prawn open lasagne with rocket and parmesan salad and garlic bread so we both chose that. While we were waiting we asked for olives to share. We were brought quite a large quantity of two types of pitted olives, green and black. They were small, uninteresting and we left most of them. Fewer olives of a better quality and taste would have been preferable.The main course tasted good and we did enjoy it. We found the reference to open lasagne was a couple of sheets of lasagne floating in the sauce. Our disappointment with the main course was, however, in the meagre quantity of lobster in each of our dishes, leaving us both wishing we'd chosen instead a half lobster thermidor. There were plenty of succulent king prawns in the dish but in stark contrast, a very small amount of lobster pieces. A more accurate description would have been 'King prawn open lasagne with some lobster, rocket and parmesan salad and garlic bread'.The service that we received from the friendly and cheerful waitresses was fine.

The restaurant is in an unusual location (in an industrial estate) but that adds to the charm.We liked the layout, decor and ambience upon entering.However, the quality in terms of service and food does not match the price tag. Some of this is due to the obvious lack of experience of the Head Chef but mainly it is due to poor staff training - which is so frustrating as many of the issues could be solved so easily!Firstly, I have never paid £40 for a bottle of wine and had the experience I had here:-1. Not asked if we wanted to try the wine.2. Not poured any of the wine.3. The wine was presented to us in an ‘Ice cooler’ with no ice or water.Personally, I have always found the first two points as pretentious theatre therefore I have to confess that this didn’t bother me at all. However, when paying £40 for a bottle of wine, I do expect it to be kept cool which was impossible in the wine cooler given to us. At that price, ice and water is an absolute must. By the end of the bottle, the wine was close to room temperature.We also ordered drinks prior to ordering food (and drank them before the starters arrived) where the empty glasses were not collected until we had finished our main courses, and that was only upon our prompting.The food was well presented, the chef clearly knew how to cookFish or steak to a good standard but the food lacked flavour overall.For instance the Caprese Salad was literally Tomato, Mozarella and balsamic vinegar. There was no seasoning at all. Maybe this would have been fine if the ingredients were of such high quality that they spoke for themselves I.e. homegrown tomato but this was not the case, leading to a very average dish.The skin on the pan fried cod was underdone, soggy rather than crispy. Although, the actual fillet was tender and well cooked.The sautéed potatoes on both the cod and lemon sole were effectively thickly sliced new potatoes. They were cut too thick, under seasoned and not sautéed for long enough.Both the cod and lemon sole were served in a flavourless tomato sauce that almost resembled a tomato soup and detracted from, rather than adding to the dish.My wife had the Cola chocolate cake for dessert which was excellent.I had the cheese and biscuits. The portion sizes were generous but the cardinal sin of Brie being served cold rather than at room temperature was committed - again pointing towards lack of training.Overall, we enjoyed our night, and to be frank it doesn’t have much to compete with locally. However, we left feeling frustrated. The staff, whilst hardworking and eager to please, are clearly not well trained. The chef is at the moment limited but is hopefully on an upward trajectory. Anybody that dines out regularly and lives in a City will know numerous places that are to a far higher Standard than this. However, this is near the top of the list for Lowestoft and with a small amount of fine tuning it could easily put its local rivals in the shade - I look forward to seeing how it develops over the next year or two.

Four of us ordered Half Lobster, very little Lobster for the price, we asked for Hand Cut Chips with the Lobster, the menu stated Skinny Fries, the restaurant charged us full price for Hand Cut Chips, not impressed. I asked for very little butter, all 4 Lobster came to the table the same, so no questioned asked whose was one with less butter because there was not one, Waitress never listened to my request. Wine was nothing special. No masks were worn by staff, and cutlery brought to table by bare handed waitress with no serviette wrapped around them. We will not be returning sadly.

When you have a mariner friend for company then you must pick carefully when it comes to choosing a place for dinner. The Third Cross was no disappointment . If you head for the Haven Marina in School Road - just off the main Victoria Road into Lowestoft you will find it. My tip is if you think you are in the wrong place then keep going right through the high gates of the marina. Tables overlook the boatyard where boats are in a variety of state of repair. Look further and you will find some gems to look at in the water.This one of the few places during our visit to the area that offered Lobster and two of us tried the Lobster and King Prawn linguine bound in shellfish bisque and garlic bread. Really excellent. A good variety of other sea food, chargrills and puddings. A couple of options for vegetarians. We had great service and were made most welcome.

Found this place on a whim, it's tucked away but wow 5 star service and 5 star food. Our waitress Shonna was knowledgable about the menu and very attentive. Will definitely visit again

Deliciously inventive sea food, served with charm in a pleasant setting by the water. The Gumbo and the Linguine were both excellent.

Excellent food, friendly service and good value. What more could you want! We had a lovely time and will definitely be back. Thankyou

I was a little worried we were lost on the drive in as the restaurant is tucked away in a corner of an industrial area, but found it without trouble.We were made to feel welcome, given help with the menu and had our special requests accomodated without trouble. The food was amazing; we tried lobster and hake and had to try hard between us to finish it all.

Found this restaurant seeking a good fish meal. We were very pleasantly surprised. Gòod ambience, interesting site right on the river, excellent and friendly service. Our meals were all great. Cromer crab salad, sea bream and baked haddock fillet with potato cake. Limited but affordable wine list, we had a white rioja which was very acceptable. Extremely good value. Will certainly return if visiting the area. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes a good well cooked English seafood.

Luckily the weather was OK. Two patio heaters kept the cold at bay with ample of extra layers. Lovely warm welcome from our waitress. We chose whitebait and pate for starters. Both well received. I had ordered a whole lobster for mains and it didn't disappoint. Lovely sweet tender lobster with a thermador sauce. Simply divine.. My partners king prawn and lobster lingunie was also delicious. A shared a cheese board. We both enjoyed our coffees. Our waitress was very professional as usual. Thank you to the back of house team. Great food.Unfortunately the language coming from one individual at a nearby table was a little to colourful and totally unnecessary.

Great regular spot , and always for something a little bit special. We love the Lobsters so Birthdays always end up here. great selection of other dishes . steaks sea-food etc,

We visited the third crossing today for lunch. The service was good and attentive all throughout. Sadly 2 out of 3 of the meals served were overcooked with the burger being charcoal black in places and rock hard. The waitress reported to the manager who comped two of our drinks - was a nice gesture. Not the best - but not the worst.

What a great place. Nothing too much trouble and the food was amazing. Tucked away in Lowestoft Port with a lovely view. If you love your Lobster, you're in the right place.

Just fancid lobster so rang up and got a table. First and foremost covid rules and regulations in use. Knew i was going to have the lobster theramador. My partner choose his favourite chicken ceasor salad. Omg. I was so excited when it arrived.It was really delicious. Yummy yummy yummy. Loved it. Really well cooked.My partner equally enjoyed his salad. We had desserts but i was still salivating over my lobster. We enjoyed our drinks.A huge thanks to our waitresses sammy jo and hannah who remained polite professional and attentive throughout our visit. Paying particular attention to not only tables but chairs when diners left. Cleaning down all surfaces...credit to the management. I loved the lunch but most of all felt safe.In this day and age this means alot.The place was busy so that speaks volumes......well done to all the staff. Credit where its due. Great team work. You should all be well proud of yourselves. You all showed passion for the job you do and all clearly enjoy.Plrase keep safe. Well done.

My wife and I visited THE THIRD CROSSING whilst on holiday recently. The tables were nicely spaced and all staff were wearing masks.I fancied lobster but had not eaten it before.On asking the waitress (Sammy Joe),how it came out, she was very knowledgeable to explain this.Well, it was absolutely wonderful. This was followed by crumble.Again this was lovely. Will certainly visit again when in the area.

Had a lovely lunch here whilst staying at Hopton. Steak was truly scrumptious and so was my Husbands Lobster Thermidore. Waitress was absolutely brilliant, (Sammy Joe,) very good knowledge of what she was serving. My only 1 complaint was it has got to be the worst Eton Mess I have ever had, stewed fruit, severely lacking any meringue and cream tasted like synthetic, shame as this slightly ruined a perfect Lunch. This will not put me off and will return again when in the area. Thanks again, Sammy Joe.

Popped in for breakfast during Eat out Help Out. Covid safe and the breakfast was very good and well worth the full price. Needed to book in advance and tried to book for an evening meal but was fully booked due to deal.

We were keen to visit the Third Crossing due to a recommendation we had received. Our first thought was that the Marina was more of a boat yard, something commented on previously. We had thought it would have been nice to walk around it, however, this isn't possible. This in itself is not the fault of the restaurant.I took advantage of the East Out to Help Out scheme and ordered lobster, which I had been invited to select myself from a clear tank within the restaurant, and my partner ordered the lobster and prawn linguine. I was generally satisfied with my lobster dish, although felt it was a little light on flavour, however, my partner felt hers was on the chewy side, perhaps as it may have been cooked differently or longer for her meal.We had asked the waitress about available drinks / wine, however, she appeared to have little knowledge of what was available, or what to recommend, however, she was otherwise accommodating and polite.Overall, it was pleasant enough, though we felt a little rushed after we had finished our meal. We would have preferred to have rated this 3.5 stars, as felt neither 3 or 4 stars represented our experience.

A last minute dinner booking was the best choice under the Covid-19 restrictions service and staff were so friendly & polite. But the food was amazing the lobster was so fresh, prawn cocktail had a homemade touch to it and my hubby loved the prawn & lobster linguine! An enjoyable evening thanks!

Came for an impromptu lunch last week. Staff very friendly and everything was really clean. Meals reasonably priced and really nice. Just as good as we’d remembered - we’ll be back

Great attentive staff, food was amazing, good varied menu, quiet and no kids or animals to spoil evening. Some folk just like to moan ... will be a repeat visitor .

No vegan option of good healthy food for my daughter. We had to have nachos for a meal option. Lack of knowledge of vegan food. Offered mushrooms then told they were cooked in butter. Sea bass served with almonds which is a strange combination usually serviced with trout. My order was, pesto and cod; which was ok but I expected it to be green pesto. It turned out to be a tomato soup with cod on the top. My husbands order of a steak burger was perfect.Staff were friendly and attentive. Limited healthy options for desert. Nice restaurant but not really a marina setting, more a boat yard.

Didn't look great from the outside but made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Had a lovely meal, everything was fresh and cooked to order. Portions were just right. Staff were attentive but not over bearing. Would definitely recommend.

Lowestoft doesn’t have much it seems when it comes to dining out. This restaurant is right on the marina so was nice to sit outside and enjoy the views before heading inside to eat.The staff were really pleasant and professional.I enjoyed my meal but I’ve had better steaks elsewhere.

Tucked away at the end of a marina, this is a real gem. The service was great and the food clearly fresh and very tasty. Although there was no children’s menu, they adapted around their existing menu with size and minor tweaks and have a generous price reduction to reflect the portion size. An excellent choice.

So pleased this place is open again. We have been for breakfast a few times since reopening and the food was as good as ever. The ingredients are of good quality and very well presented. As are the staff.Beautiful scrambled eggs lovely and creamy. Great high standards of cleanliness. As soon as people left tables and chairs are thoroughly sanitised. Sorry didn't have my phone but will be visiting again very soon.Fabulous staff. Great teamwork. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

We arrived at The Third Crossing very excited and expecting a great meal. We ordered Tuna Nicoise, a lobster and the sea bass. What we wanted and what we received was not even close to being nice. The sea bass was okish, it would have been better if the skin was crispy, it's pretty easy to do, but it wasnt and had to be left behind. The new potatoes weren't cooked properly either. The lobster was just terrible. It tasted nothing like the lobster I've had before, it was chewy and had a strange taste. The tuna nicoise was also terrible, the tuna was overcooked (it's supposed to be pink?? ) it was also tasteless and dry. Out of the starters the focaccia was stale but the dipping oil and olives were okay. I would be very surprised if the sea bass, lobster and tuna were cooked fresh. The portions were big though and the prices weren't bad. We did say that the tuna wasnt good and it was taken off the bill.We did want to complain about the rest of the meal but felt bad, however, we should have said something because the whole meal was just a massive disappointment. The only plus to all of this was the waitress who was amazing, she is a real asset to your team.I would also like to mention that staff should not smoke outside in front of the restaurant next to the customers, it doesnt look very professional. But all in all, I would definitely not recommend The Third Crossing

Warm friendly atmosphere staff made you feel welcome.Both fish dishes were amazing tasty and well presented. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.The portions were good and the menu choice was varied but we chose the chefs specials. Service was prompt. We ate early as we guessed this restaurant was popular and being a Friday night we wanted to avoid queuing which is evident at the moment and we were not disappointed.

The owner of our holiday rental recommended the Third Crossing. I suspect they must rely on recommendations as you would never find this place by accident, as it is tucked away in the corner of a marina down a minor road. There are a handful of tables inside and out, with views over the marina. The interior is nicely decorated and during Covid times, good spacing between tables. There is a fixed menu and also a daily specials from which we chose most of our dishes. Fish is to the fore and we had hake, sea bass and trout. Everything came well presented, piping hot and in very large quantities. Flavour combinations were very good and the only improvement IMO would be to reduce cooking times, as meat and fish dishes were all borderline too well done. Service was very friendly and professional, the waitress wore gloves and visor and there was plenty of sanitiser. I would be surprised and delighted to find better dining choices in the area.

Tried to book sunday eve 15th march ( was wife’s birthday ) but resteraunt was closed only the bar was open SO booked monday 16th March , had a nice table in the window, resteraunt was tastefully decorates, very clean, well presented, we chose the whitebait for starters followed by Fillet a Steak, well what can i say, we eat out a lot but never have i had a steak so tasty , myself & my wife have ours med rare , it was so tender, so well cooked, it melted in your mouth, definitely 10/10 it cut like a hot knife through butter, after a 15 minute rest we had deserts, i had the Cheeseboard the wife choc cheesecake again both well presented & great value, would 100% recommend this resteraunt & will most definitely be back

We do attend this place for meals quite often - but guess it was a bad day . . . we ordered Cottage Pie - omg - it was not as one would expect - the mince was in very long strands several inches long and stuck together and hard to cut - it looked awful, anyway we returned our plates and ordered a different meal. The staff are very good and said they are going to change that recipe .......... they agreed with us. We like this place and will go again but not for ' cottage pie' sorry, just don't know what had gone wrong.

Don’t let the location put you off! My partner and I visited the Third Crossing mid February and I was completely blown away! The food was amazing and the service was fantastic, the only thing I could comment on which i wasn’t too keen on was the decor, it feels fairly dated which doesn’t represent the modern food they serve. The food is very well priced too, if anything too cheap for the fantastic quality! Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos but I had the Fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and my partner had the sea bass fillet with brown shrimp sauce which she said was incredible. All the food was served with white gloves and big smiles. Left there very happy indeed! 9/10

First visit to this lovely restaurant down school lane and hidden away! A well kept secret in the heart of Lowestoft's yachting community.Menu emphasised fish dishes beautifully cooked. An imaginative and delicious selection of starters followed by equally food mains. We didn't have room for tempting deserts ranging from a light lemon roulade to a winter warmer of apple and cinnamon crumble. Lovely atmosphere, well priced with excellent service. Real value for money. Highly recommend a visit here.

I have been to the Third Crossing over many years and have always found it to be great food, great quality and extremely good.My recent visit was rather disappointing, the starter (Prawn & Crayfish) was mostly potato chunks with very few prawns or Crayfish, it was tasteless.The main course (Skate wing) the potatoes were cold and the beans looked like they were cooked last week, the potatoes and beans had some sort of garnish that was very dried and shrivelled - the Skate wing was excellent although it was served on a cold plate so everything was cold before I had eaten my meal.

Popped in for a late breakfast. Usual warm friendly greeting. We ordered two breakfasts. Tea coffee. Toast and fruit juice. Quickly presented. Very tasty. Shame my egg was rather snotty. Other than that lovely. Regularly visited. Staff always pleasent.

6 people ordered fish pie on my recommendation as it has always been excellent, but what a disappointment! Small dishes, runny sauce, hardly any fish. 2 people sent their's back as the sauce was curdled. Definitely felt let down.

We have been to this place a few times now - especially for a 'Fillet Steak' cooked to perfection, all food is very, very good. The staff are very friendly and we just love it.

Had Been trying to come here for many weeks ...final managed to get a table , staff very friendly. Hubby is coeliac & staff very informed with what he could eat which was loads....we had pate to start with normal n gluten free bread,I had the whole lobster & hubby had the amazing fish pie( I had a sneaky taste too ) I had dessert too n drinks were plentiful ...more expensive then most places in the area but you get what you pay for great quality food & I can’t wait to come back again

Lovely place for breakfast. Friendly service, good full English breakfast and great really nice coffee.

Had Sunday lunch here. Roast beef with all the trimmings. Excellent friendly service and very reasonably price. Dessert for me was Roulade very delicious. We have also eaten here in the evening they always have a varied menu lots of fish dishes and daily specials. You never leave this restaurant hungry portions are very generous. Staff are very professional and helpful.

Excellent seafood plus. Always welcoming. Always good service. AND they also do a fine breakfast and lunch!

I really liked this place unusual setting, meal was really diferent. Only down side view is a Car Park, but this did not really distract from us having a nice time.

Located by the picturesque marina slightly hidden from the main roads, it is definitely worth visiting.

Excellent fish dishes, and service with a smile. Slightly off the beaten track, as we was moored in Oulton Broad. But walk was worth the journey. Great location and a wonderful meal atmosphere was amazing for a great dinner

Tried this restaurant for lunch with friends and wasn't disappointed. Although the surroundings were a bit unusual, the selection of fish based dishes all looked good and the ones we selected were excellent for taste and quantity. The dessert selection wasn't particularly exciting, but we all agreed it was an enjoyable meal!

Overlooking inner harbour, lovely food, excellent seafood. Good menu and an excellent specials menu. No child menu but they will make a smaller meal off menu for children Good service very pleasant staff

What a find, have been coming up to this area for 3 years and have never been here before or heard of it. Such an amazing find. The staff here are so pleasant and efficient- they wear gloves when serving your food. The four of us each had a different starter all great, main course 2 had fillet steaks which were beautiful, one of the best I have had, one rib eye and one sea bass all great, we managed to share 2 desserts. This will not be our only visit, looking forward to returning soon

Amazing food - amazing service - not massive menu but plenty of specials .... steak and seafood a must Will def be back

We went for a special lunch to celebrate a legacy, and were not disappointed. The service was most helpful and the food was absolutely excellent.

This restaurant is truly off the beaten track. You would never pass it by accident. Right on the edge of the river waveney South side of lake clothing.
