• "The view across the bay to the Purbecks from the tables at the rear of the restaurant is fantastic on a good day."

Cons:

• "There are no toilets but they are only a short walk away."
• "Never got to finish my meal as a result of getting mugged by two seagulls!"
• "Keep an eye out for the herring gulls (the big ones) they will grab your meal if you don’t keep it near you."
• "Less good was that toilet facilities were not available (locked) and we were directed to nearby public toilets."
• "Unfortunately couldn't finish all the fish due to an aggressive seagull which swooped into the middle of the seating area to steal half my fish."
• "There are other chip shops in the immediate area I would recommend using these other than this expensive food outlet using cheap products."

• "Amazing! Great prizes for such amazing quality food!! Definitely worth the visit."

• "Fish & chips, it was not nice, very reminiscent of frozen battered fish."
• "We ordered a sea food platter which we’ve had every time we’ve been down to Swanage over the years. What turned up wasn’t anything like what was on the menu it was mainly a plate of deep fried frozen food for £35."
• "When the meal finally arrived the chips and peas were cooked from frozen, the portion of fish was the size of a large goldfish covered with a thin tasteless batter."
• "Unfortunately just average crab salad."
