Amazing food (seriously, try the Keralan fish curry). Quiet enough to have a conversation, but decent music in the background. Staff lovely. Really good value for money.

Food was average and not cheap. Perfectly friendly staff but wouldn’t recommend purely for the fact the food was underwhelming

Visited last night Fri 30th May. Lovely good. We had pre booked a table but felt very rushed. Myself and my son were just finishing up our pizza but my Daughter was still happily eating through hers plus we had chips we were sharing. We were asked twice by the male waiter whether we had all finished when meals were still being eaten. My Daughter was still eating when he came along a third time and asked if my Daughter would like a box for her pizza. We had only been in the restaurant 45 mins. I am not sure whether we would have been given better service if we had not already made payment via the app. We didn't feel able to order another drink or wait for my Daughter to finish so we left. A shame as we have visited each time we have been at Westbay and not felt rushed before.

Firstly smelly place. No communication between the chef or pizza maker so cooked food came out half an hour before the pizzas including the side orders and it wasn’t even busy. Inevitably half of us waited for food whilst the other half finished there’s then had to wait for us! Side orders used as nibbles whilst we waited. Staff not interested!! £3.50 for a can of lemonade Over priced, great placement, NOT WORTH A VISIT!

Never left a negative review before, but food was very underwhelming. Staff nice but it seemed like we we where rushed in and out despite booking a table before hand.

Had a fabulous family meal at the Watch House, there were 13 of us including 4 children, we sat on the terrace and it was a magical evening. The Childress pizzas were served first which was brilliant, everyone was very happy
