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?).

“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”.

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.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
