The Old Lifeboat Station served up outstanding food, impressing us from start to finish. We especially loved the grilled mackerel and the lobster arancini, but every element on the plate was carefully considered and beautifully executed. Even the side salads were surprisingly full of flavor and exceeded expectations.
Unbelievably excellent! Dogs welcome, nice and shady inside, sunshine outside. The food was super fresh and utterly delicious. Samphire bhajis in Bridlington?!?! Service was very prompt and charming. A proper cup of tea, too and my daughter had a delicious iced coffee with oat milk. I’m quite fussy, but I honestly can’t fault this place. Wish I had taken some actual cash for the books at the back. It was our first time there but I can’t wait to go back.
We have just had dinner at The Old Lifeboat Station and couldn't fault any of it. We ordered a selection of dishes and all were delicious. The owner was very friendly, telling us about his plans for the space, we can't wait to return and see those plans come to life. The samphire bhajis are a must try! An excellent end to our holiday on the east coast
Querky cafe in, as the name suggest, an old lifeboat station. Comfy sofas, good cakes, decent coffees and a food van serving freshly cooked fish and seafood. Beats a bog standard fish and chippy on front hands down!
Absolutely amazing food!!! Generous portion size, everything cooked fresh. We could not find fault with anything!!
