    The quality of the food was excellent, staff were courteous and relatively attentive, It did however take a long time from ordering the dessert to actually receiving them. Apart from that it was well worth the visit

    Great seafood and Asian dishes. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Unbeatable location. Have a drink with your toes in the sand.

    Wow! We had such a great time. The ambience was perfect - as was the music - and the staff were lovely. The food was amazing. I usually go for the vegetarian option on the rare occasions I eat out, and I would never usually choose fish. I’m so glad I decided to go out of my comfort zone with the fish stew - a pot of spicy yumminess containing catch of the day and shell fish, in a delicious fennel and orange sauce. There was also warm sourdough for dunking and mopping up every last morsel. Two of us had the stew, one had venison and the other had pad Thai - they all agreed their meals were equally delicious. We all wished we’d had room for pudding. We’ll definitely be returning and recommending.

    Enjoyed Sunday lunch with friends in a very relaxed and friendly environment. The service was fantastic and they couldn't do more to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be going again soon!! Thank you Beach House
