Harden's survey result
Summary
An “excellent location overlooking the sea” at Swanpool Beach and nature reserve elevates a trip to this cliffside outfit with a heated outdoor terrace; its sustainably caught seafood elicited regrettably little feedback this year, but there was praise for some “good fresh fish dishes” (the menu swimming between scallops, squid and shellfish platters).
Summary
A “buzzy atmosphere and great views” over Swanpool beach and nature reserve add to the charms of this cliffside venture; the “best scallops” are a feature of the menu, which has a strong focus on sustainability. Ratings for the food are a little middling overall, but the worst anyone has to say is that its popularity means some dishes soon run out – and that “starter portions were more like mains” (first-world problems, eh?).
Summary
“Great shellfish”, eaten at a “nice location on the edge of the cliff” with views over Swanpool beach and nature reserve, makes this comfortable spot an attractive option in all seasons. There’s a strong sustainability ethos, and the cooking is accurate. Worst comment? – The “brilliant scallops were slightly overpowered by the equally delicious sauce”.
Summary
A “great location” overlooking Swanpool Beach and nature reserve is matched with “friendly staff” and “good-quality local fresh fish” at this sustainably minded seafood and wine spot with a terrace even closer to the water.
