    The only let down was the cauliflower cheese wasn't cheesy enough and wasn't crunchy, otherwise it was really good.

    I had pre booked but when I arrived I couldn’t see the children playing in the area from the table allocated. The staff were really accommodating and friendly, they changed my table which made the experience better and more relaxing to be able to watch the children whilst enjoying my food and drink at the table. I had the Sunday carvery and both children had the fish and chips. All the food was great and price was reasonable.

    It was our first visit to The Old Quay House and we opted for the Sunday Carvery. Our experience as a family was exceptional, the staff were amazing and kind throughout our meal. The meal was very good quality with plenty of vegetables, roast potatoes and a large amount of meat on our plates considering my sons and I ordered small adult portions, we couldn’t finish it entirely. My husband ordered a large which was enormous. We were extremely grateful that staff went out of their way to add an additional Yorkshire pudding on my son’s plate. His face genuinely lit up when they offered him another. So Thankyou for your brilliant convenient and efficient service, you work hard and deserve to be successful with your business, we had a wonderful meal and will return Many thanks for an enjoyable evening.
