Food and Dining Options
Pros:
"Plenty of food, ice cream or donuts and waffles places all across harbour."
"There's plenty to see and eat with numerous eateries and bars."
"Along the front are plenty of different cafes and food outlets."
"The food is on the simplistic side of things, but all in all, we had a fun time."
"It has plenty of tourist type shops like ice cream, fish and chips, arcades and gift shops."
"Some lovely places to eat. The attraction for children are superb with loads to do."
"There are lots of little shops - mainly for the tourists but still good to pay the odd visit to. You will find a good selection of takeaway food too, fish n chips, shellfish, candy floss etc..."
"Plenty of eateries and a fair for the children, it's well worth a visit."
Cons:
"The food is on the simplistic side of things."
"I have never seen so many fish n chip shops in my life...... sometimes 3 in a row."
"Too many seagulls that attack you for your food. They are over run with them."
"Prices a little steep too, I know they need to catch up, but so do the visitors! £2 for 4 doughnuts, where better & fresher ones can be had from Morrisons."
"Walked around the harbour area today ...Now I'm fully aware that there trying to make a living, but why oh why is nearly every shop or stall, fish & chips, or donuts, or kebabs, or hotdog's....A larger and more varied option would I my opinion be more beneficial...."
"On the down side.... A run down area, Lots of people not too well distanced, lots of fast food outlets, a low end ambience, litter & aggressive gulls."
"I bought a giant hotdog for £2 and before I even left the stall seagulls snatched it out of my hand, I asked the vendor who saw what had happened for another and quick as a flash she asked for another £2."
"Bridlington needs some work especially the harbour peoples rubbish just floating about which was sad really because a few parents were trying to teach there children to fish with a net and the sea front defo needs some work ie rides and cafe and such like."
Seagull Presence
Pros:
"Watch out for the seagulls tho, They are swines! Also watch out for them dropping bombs 😅"
Cons:
"Watch out for the rats with wings!"
"Keep hold of your chips though because the seagulls are very demanding! Lol."
"The seagulls are vicious, cocky and won't give a damn as they drop their bowels onto the field of west Yorkshire's finest Gucci t-shirt knock offs."
"The bloody seagulls, well one in particular nicked my lobster tail with the fork still attached but didn't want the sauce."
"Always a good place to come when the weather is nice, Seaguls are waiting for you and looking for the opportunity to swoop down and grab your food."
"The seagulls will literally take food from you by force."
"Brings back a lot of happy memories but unfortunately like most towns city’s and coastal holiday towns the pandemic and cost of living has nearly destroyed these once beautiful places empty shops or rundown and I’ve never seen so many Seagulls with nests in the town with bird droppings everywhere."
"Bloody seagulls are a real pest though."
Attractions and Activities
Pros:
"Boat rides available for families and couples alike pretty good prices too."
"Lots of amusements and rides available."
"On the Harbour itself, you can go on a power boat ride or slower short tour around the harbour on a larger boat."
"The attraction for children are superb with loads to do."
"we enjoyed a pirate boat ride and had some lovely fish and chips lots of bins for the rubbish which is good are there are more seagulls than people and if your not careful they will take what you have."
"Loved it! We were advised that Bridlington was a rundown, hell hole of a seaside town but we found it totally the opposite."
"Speedboat rides , a Jolly Roger boat ride, all sorts infact to suit all tastes."
"Anyone visiting Yorkshire should visit Bridlington, the beach is amazing and there's plenty to do in the harbour, speed boat and pirate ship rides neither are very expensive considering the cost of living at the moment."
Cons:
"It felt a little amusement park esk, but for younger families it might be worth the visit."
"Watch out for the rats with wings!"
"Very poor show from the businesses along the harbour front today, considering its school holidays everywhere was closed."
"I think the harbour has been taken over by the fairground. . It seemed a bit daunting for some families we came across. ."
"Not for me the place was tatty there has been some effort made to brighten the place up but its not maintained."
"Been going to Brid over 60 years and loved it. Went today and the harbour area is absolutely scruffy. Food all over attracting gulls. Benches covered in droppings."
"As a commercial harbour it serves its purpose but is still a bit worn out."
"Bridlington seems to have slipped in standards over the last 20yrs, maybe due to the lack of investment from both the council and private sector."
