The Dock

Had a nice lazy Sunday lunch there surrounded by the perfect cosy vibes with families and friends gathering all around you and a very helpful staff ✨indulging in my plates while taking in the beautiful view of the sea and the harbour. I loved the food there and the special unique touches they add to it including the squid starter and the Chicken caesar salad but the salad’s dressing was a bit too much for me.

We visited on a sunday. Lovely setting, very knowledgeable and attentive staff, I am celiac so if they weren't sure they went and asked, a good gf menu lots of choice, I had the paté to start followed by the roast it was delicious the reason it has 4stars for food was the lack of a green vegetable on my plate the only veg I had was carrot and parsnip, if the other veg contained glutten maybe some peas could have been added, apart from that it was a lovely lunch and I would go back.

First time visiting today, visited with friends. We booked a table so were seated with ease. Waiter took our drinks orders without a problem however when food arrived we were told the cauliflower cheese would be out in a moment 15minutes later after reminding they arrived. We also ordered extra drinks which never arrived. The food we cannot fault though it was simply the following through of orders which seemed to not quite work on this visit. That being said we'd love to visit again and hope for smoother service.

So we nearly beat our record for the fastest meal being just over an hour from arrival to getting back in the car to head home! We have notoriously dined quickly not through intention but just ended that way so we thought we would mix it up and try a breakfast date instead so we picked the dock as we have been there before! The husband booked a table and when we arrived it was good we did! It was packed and we could hear others that turned up were either waiting for a space or leaving as they chose not to wait for a table. The staff were friendly and got us seated quickly. They took our drinks order and then about 5 mins later after browsing the menu we picked our food for breakfast and a big breakfast (guess who had which!) The good came out in what seemed like 5 minute's - we hadn't even been given our drinks order yet! The food was delicious, piping hot and great portion sizes for a decent price, yes it was slightly more than other places but the quality made up for it so you knew you were getting proper cuts of bacon and butchers sausages. The husband got the giggles as I seemed to have also dressed in a striped shirt so matched the staff!... I was just jealous as he didn't get the memo 🤣 We will definitely return and might even try an evening meal and see if that can last more than an hour!
