    I was disappointed at the menu, it was different from the website menu, there was not any scallops, or monkfish, as advised on your website, also the table we were put at was not the best, alongside the bar, it was a very poorly positioned table, but I assume you are well aware of this, I asked to be move, but was refused, yet there was tables for two available.

    Lovely food. Small place but enough room. Pleasant staff. Quite pricey so more for special occasion. Advised to have 4 or 5 dishes which would have made it £40 or £50 each. We opted for chefs choice of 5 small dishes plus another 3. On the downside one of the staff started to take wine bottles of the shelves and clean with a spray beside where meals were being carried through. Only 2 unisex toilets and 1 was out of order. When I opened the door there was a man in thankfully washing his hands! He said lock didnt work. I left without using the toilet

    We had four small dishes which were each absolutely delicious, washed down with a lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio. The black pudding and chorizo, goats cheese, gambas pir pir and brown crab risotto were full of flavour and just amazing. The service was fab and the staff were friendly and helpful. I love this venue and am looking forward to going back. Often.

    This was our first time at Selkie. We noticed how close the tables were for such a small place. The food was really good but we did not realise it was a tapas type menu. The waitress failed to really explain the menu just left menus on the table. We had to keep asking questions about the menu as we were not clear. No cocktail menu was even offered until we asked. The small plated tapas are pricey for the amount that you get. We ordered chips after we realised the servings were quite small and the waitress did not even offer ketchup or any other sauces. Cocktails were good. Thanks

    My dad had his usual beef cheeks, excellent as always and just the right portion size for an elderly gentleman, leaving enough room for his delicious strawberries and cream dessert. I on the other hand try to order something different each time we visit, I chose the buttermilk chicken burger, it was ok but not outstanding and not worth £17 probably won’t order this again, but the girls are so lovely so we will be back for a return visit
