Automatically add a tip to the bill claiming that most customers want this?! Absolute rubbish. It's a devious way to make more money off customers. Staff rushed through the payment without asking if you wanted to pay it. And they took payment before they served you anything so who would tip before you get any service?! As it happens the service was slow and only one staff member could muster even a smile, the others moody. The coffee was ok, nothing special. Good views are the main highlight. Only one toilet for the whole premises and even though it was very quiet on our visit, still had a lengthy queue. I wouldn't want to come on a busy evening with alcohol!
I read Gareth Jones review and took his advice, and glad I did. Food excellent, service excellent, loved the interior decor and you could sit outside in a shack if you chose to. Dogs are allowed inside and they did make a fuss of ours. The girl behind the counter worked non stop.
Friendly staff, nice cocktails but fairly expensive, we must have spent at least £100 on our two visits just on drinks! Note: they automatically add a 5% tip to your bill, which isn't good, but you can ask not to have this. Also there is only one toilet on the premises which is for both males and females, so not nice and causes a queue through the bar.
Worth The Journey! Yes, you will have to walk past many fish and chip emporiums, but wait! Keep walking, and right by the beach you will find the Fishermans Shack selling fantastic quality fish and chips at unbeatable prices. We were there on a Saturday, a group of 6, and the town was rammed, with queues everywhere. But we bagged a 'cabin with a view' and were promptly served by cheerful staff. The meals were cooked to order, and generously sized. Nothing more to add. Go there! Its worth it!
Fantastic food. I had the scampi and my wife tandoori Sea Bass both really enjoyed it and service was great. You pay when you order which wasn't a problem, and yes like other venues a service charge added but can be removed from bill if you wish. Views brilliant and would certainly go back.
