Was Anonym at The Quay Inn a mag?
The boathouse has a fantastic location right on the beach and is dog-friendly. With balcony seating overlooking the ocean, it's the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or meal after a day at the beach. The service was good and the food was typical for the area. View all feedback.

What Shane Haigh dislikes about The Quay Inn:
The service was appalling. We waited 45 minutes for three breakfasts, despite there being only 10 other diners. When our meals finally arrived, they were incorrect! View all feedback.

This is an amazing restaurant located right on the beach, offering a spectacular view! The tables on the roof terrace are unbeatable. We had the pleasure of sitting there and enjoying a beer and dinner in the beautiful sunshine. Additionally, it is dog friendly.

During our holiday in the area, my family and I had lunch at The Boathouse Inn. We all agreed it was our favorite place to eat, as the food was amazing. The mussels were large and delicious, the fish finger sandwich and fish and chips were light and not greasy at all, and the cheeseburger was very tasty. The service was excellent, even accommodating our 4 dogs. The atmosphere was delightful as we sat on the balcony with a stunning view of the beach. We are excited to return and enjoy more fantastic food.

I highly recommend the seafood platter - it was fantastic. I have visited this restaurant twice and both times the staff were very attentive. The view from the restaurant is beautiful. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience. An added bonus is that the restaurant is dog friendly as well!

We loved this place, the atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were truly great, friendly and accommodating . It isn't a huge place, so we phoned the night before and booked. The food we had was fresh and generous portions. We had deep-fried whitebait between us as a starter, my hubby had the mussels which l think was on the specials board, the sauce was delicious! The mussels were accompanied by a french stick and a portion of french fries. You needed this to mop up the gorgeous sauce. I had the scampi with chips, peas, and tartar sauce. There is parking that belongs to the pub just 100 yards up the road, we managed to get a place so for once this holiday we managed to avoid the dreadful parking charges. The view from the pub is lovely overlooking the estuary and boats, but you'll need a window table or simply enjoy a drink outside or look at the view whilst walking. Very dog friendly , thank you Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
