Staff and Service

  • "The staff were really welcoming and friendly."
  • "Staff were excellent, helpful and attentive."
  • "Staff advised us they were very short staffed but you wouldn’t have known it."
  • "Having discussed matters with Shannon she was very helpful in putting things right for which we are most appreciative, we would definitely come here again."
  • "Staff are always very friendly and helpful."

Cons:

  • "The staff who were working that evening were rushed off their feet and remained gallantly professional."
  • "Place was short staffed and there was no seafood on!!!"
  • "Tried to get drinks for 25 minutes. Three different waiters told us 'in a minute' while serving other customers who arrived later and ignoring us standing at the bar."
  • "The staff were disinterested, rude and unprofessional, with no regard for customer satisfaction."
  • "Not a great service, went for a meal, seemed like a beautiful venue but really let down by the service."
  • "The service was poor as just not enough staff to cope with the number of guests."
  • "Very poor customer service/management."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food is delicious and every dish feels like it's been cooked for the individual rather than for the masses."
  • "A bit pricey, but the food was really good quality so felt worth it in every sense!"
  • "Food didn't take long to come, it was delicious and good value for money."
  • "The standard of the food was excellent and served up fairly quickly."
  • "The food was made from high quality ingredients and presented beautifully."
  • "Delicious Mediterranean chicken dish, and gorgeous lemon meringue pie dessert that even came with extra lemon curd on the side!"
  • "Food is exceptional for a reasonable price."

Cons:

  • "The starter dishes were extraordinarily small given the price."
  • "Sadly Sunday lunch was completely ruined by live music which was unbearably loud and a singer who was worse than most karaoke bars!"
  • "It certainly wasn't hand pressed made by the chef in the kitchen, I'm my opinion this was a burger that was bought in from somewhere."
  • "Food took ages. Burger arrived with no choizo or lettuce, Fish and Chips x 2 arrived with no curry sauce (£2 supplement), Mussels arrived but no fries or baguette."
  • "The hake was overcooked and cold at the same time, the chicken was dry, the fries had to be sent back as they were solid and crunchy."
  • "The fish and chips I ordered were an absolute disgrace, with overcooked fish that was tough and dry, and batter that was split and greasy."
  • "Ordered calamari starter and a dressed crab for my main - the calamari tasted fishy and old, was in a flavourless southern fried batter."

Ambience and Location

Pros:

  • "Really spacious and well decorated pub with excellent views of the beach."
  • "Room 7 middle floor with great sea views."
  • "The apartment was incredible, clean and a perfect place for us to relax and chill out in the evenings."
  • "There's a decent sized, free carpark."
  • "Great place to stay in Polzeath, clean and well stocked apartment if a little tired however we got a great price so nothing to complain about!"
  • "Lovely view from the outside dining areas, the service from the bar was exceptional."
  • "Location is an 11/10! If you want a leisurely walk, hang a left and just keep walking and you will see the most breathtaking coastal views."

Cons:

  • "The atmosphere in the restaurant was aggressive and unwelcoming, making the entire experience thoroughly unpleasant."
  • "P.S - the car park isn’t free anymore and they don’t serve Doom Bar."
  • "The apartments, for the price they would normally be are very basic."
  • "I wouldn’t advise anyone to return to the venue. A £100 parking ticket after going into the venue, purchasing several rounds all within the 2 hour dedicated slot."
  • "We then came home to a £60 parking fine for parking in the car park."
  • "Given its location and incredible views, the place should be packed… Now it is empty!"
  • "I was charged for a parking fine after staying in one of the apartments, despite having given my number plate to staff."
