Hot shellfish platter is a great experiment. If requested, staff can split into two dishes. (We did this between two people and found it to be adequate - would not have wanted a whole dish each.)

Lisa Hayward

Thought the set menu was very good value and very good food. Experience was very relaxed and well looked after.

Matthias Lüfkens

If you don't have a reservation , you can eat at the bar in the centre of the room. First come, first served.

They've got an excellent deal on at the moment... Winter special. 3 courses for £27 I think? Husband took me there for lunch on my birthday, Nov 11... Plus I think some money goes to charity too? Ace.

Paul Allen

A birthday surprise and lived up to expectations. Octopus starter good, monkfish fillet with fennel beautiful.

James Martin

Butterfly, deep fried sardines for starter. Main course, hake

Heard of this geezer, Rick Stein? This is his original flagship seafood resto, est. 1975

Rowena Chan

Service was friendly and professional. And the hot seafood was really fresh and delicious.

Shaun Williams

Great restaurant , superb service and food.

Martin Cookson

The food is great but it’s like eating food in a factory - the service was rapid - water was splashed across the table and the sommelier splashed the wine - then the deserts were too slow

Ken Goodyear

Food as good as ever although it is a liitle more geared to turning tables than fine dinning, it has lost some of its charm.

Natalie Bird

Oysters and fish curry are great

Kevin Tea

The food was excellent as you would expect but it was the staff that made it for me, professionalism personified

Raimund Berens

Great food and wine ask the sommelier for advice!!! And go for the £37 3-course menu

Stuart Murdoch

If you bring your kids, try the local hake with thick-cut chips - our daughters reccomend it (best fish and chips ever!)

David Maher

Cod and chips is amazing. The batter is perfect and the cod flaky and succulent.

Paul Stratford

Excellent food, excellent service.

Mark Wright

The original, but still lovely

Alan Parkin

Newlyn Fish Pie - Fantastic

Gavin Duff

Great breakfast .

Rachel Hall

Good food but over-priced with a cafeteria atmosphere. Noisy and crowded with too many tables crammed in too close together. Overall, not a relaxing experience.

Shaun Williams

Service is great, food standards slipping, wine overpriced.

Shaun Williams

Used to love this place, no longer. Relies too much on reputation not innovation. Overpriced so recommend eating elsewhere.

Tim Bush

Go for the Dover sole ! Amazing!

Stuart Murdoch

Choose the Cigare Blanc wine

Louise Hansen

Way too expensive compared to the taste and quality of the food

Helmut Pflaumer

Eine Vor- oder Hauptspeise zu teilen ist auch ok!!
