“You can’t beat sitting outside on a sunny day with a fine view of the estuary, with a plate of scallops, a glass of sauvignon blanc and a very reasonably priced half lobster with chips” at this “really fun place on the seafront”“very popular and busy” – serving “simple” seafood dishes, including oysters and crab. It has had new owners since April 2021, but commentary seems unchanged.

Arguably “a more rounded experience than The Company Shed down the road” – this stripped-back seafront diner is “friendly, good value and busy”; and offers a “great variety of hot and cold fish dishes” (not least superlative oysters, their beds in sight).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
