The food was divine, the staff were incredibly friendly and the view was gorgeous. What more could you want. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone in the area. Even if you aren’t, it’s so worth the drive. The scallop starter was great. The lobster (which we’ve never eaten before) was just absolutely amazing. Flavoursome and cooked beautifully. Everything was just perfect.
Arrived before food service resumed but it looks great and staff are friendly. Surfer vibe.
Stunning view, food was amazing and service was excellent. Perfect location for sundowners too.
This was from our visit last summer: Great spot. Lovely seafood. Go here.
Great food fantastic frendly service. Beautiful place overlooking the sea realy relaxing place to eat .
Perfect spot with the best views of the bay while you eat. Good choice on menu, local ales. Great service. Menu is a bit pricey but the quality is faultless & I believe you get what you pay for with shellfish. I had the platter and was very pleased with it. Everything fresh and cooked perfectly, nothing hiding in batter or breadcrumbs which often seems to be the case.
Fresh crab, sweet-and-spicy shrimp po’ boys, cold cider, and that ocean view? Yes, please. Super easy ordering (app or menu), friendly service, and zero regrets about finishing every bite. No food pics allowed... but you won’t miss your phone once the food arrives. A must on a sunny day in Polzeath.
Stunning place! Had a wonderful bite to eat here - the po boy baguette and a delicious bottle of beer, but the main thing... that view! Absolutely incredible. On top of that, staff were lovely, and service was great. Will definitely recommend to others!
