Location
Pros:
"Situated in the harbour, it is one of our favourite places to have a coffee or meal."
"Really great location on the harbourside close to the ferry boat pick up."
"Clean place and you can enjoy the drinks by the riverside....literally."
"A great bar with a fantastic location if you're looking for a drink on a sunny summers day."
"Really great location on the harbourside close to the ferry boat pick up."
"Lovely harbourside location, too, where you can watch the world go by."
"Great location along the water."
Cons:
"The baby changing facilities are difficult to use."
"The toilets were in a very disgusting state (both male and female)."
"The ladies loo's bins were full to overflowing. No loo roll in some of them."
"Building could do with some work. High ceilings and little soft furnishings make it too loud to hold a conversation."
"The hand dryer has been cold for years. The toilet locks are often broken."
"One of the toilets is out of use so the only solution was to relabel the men's toilet (which is 90% trough urinal) unisex which was totally inappropriate for everyone concerned."
"This bar is quite run down and smelled like a public toilet."
Food & Drinks
Pros:
"The mushroom and smoked cheese arancini was divine."
"Had the best fish and chips here."
"The burger was outrageously good!"
"Another night of great dancing with Paper Moon. As always a brilliant atmosphere for dancing and having fun. Great food as well."
"Popped in for lunch and had one of the day's specials, seafood chowder. Absolutely delicious."
"The fish and chips was lovely."
"The vegan mezze was delicious."
Cons:
"The food is nothing to write home about and takes a while to arrive."
"The food was lacking with stale tasting muffins and undercooked eggs."
"Food can be ok, but menu changes over the last few years towards vegetarian and vegan reduce the choices for omnivores."
"This time chips were frozen out of a bag even though charged £4 for hand cut chips."
"Although the burger wasn't that good. A bit dry."
"Tasteless yet expensive food. Pity the chef didn't taste their own food because noone would send out anything that tasted so bland or burnt aka £12 cauliflower burger :-("
"The food was a little over cooked and the service slow."
Service
Pros:
"Really friendly punters and excellent security. Friendly and helpful... told us no need to rush our drinks at the end and supplied plastic glasses so we could have a take out."
"Staff have always been super friendly too."
"Staff are really polite, helpful and attentive."
"First of all the efforts the staff were going to to keep everyone safe whilst still delivering great service definitely deserves a mention."
"Lovely friendly staff, good atmosphere, perfect location for a proper cup of tea (with the leaves) and to watch the world go by."
"Staff very friendly and atmosphere relaxed."
"Front of house staff were friendly and accommodating and I felt right at home the entire time."
Cons:
"Didn't seem like anyone had a clue what was going on."
"It's let down by the staff, who, whilst very friendly, go about the act of serving people as if it's all a big surprise to them."
"Very noisy bar and when going to an empty bar for a second set of drinks was ignored by three members of staff."
"Great food! Although the service was a bit lazy and slow. Our waitress wasn't very friendly."
"Really poor service - bar man failed to acknowledge us at the bar for 10 minutes while the other end of the bar were served continually."
"The waiting staff and the Duty Manager Tom spent most of the evening avoiding our table."
"Staff were well meaning, but just couldn't get anything right."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Some nights they also have live music which transform the place into a big party."
"The vegetarian options are great, the view is great and the music isn't too loud."
"The place has quite a nice, rustic atmosphere to it, with a calming view of the river."
"Beautiful waterside serving main meals, beer and coffees."
"Super chilled atmosphere in the harbour side!"
"Lovely atmosphere on the Thursday Jazz night."
"Great atmosphere in this bar/restaurant."
Cons:
"Sadly, won't be going again. Was put off by the sloppiness of it, it needs a good clean before opening to the public!"
"Everything is a touch expensive for what you get and service is pretty slow."
"Very noisy bar."
"It gets mobbed with hen parties and tourists."
"Slightly let down by a couple rude homeless who also frequent the area as we didn't have any change for them."
"We were, however, evicted from our seats quite unceremoniously."
"Definitely wouldn't recommend with small children."
