We go there regularly now... the food is excellent and the staff are so nice .. would highly recommend this place ... how on earth certain people slate this place is beyond me, we have never had a bad meal there and the food is always hot..it's definitely deserved of a 5 star rating.
This is the 3rd time we have visited the Saltwater Inn and wasn’t disappointed. Parts of it are dog friendly which is great for us. We arrived without booking and were seated immediately by a gorgeous log burner fire. We ordered food from the extremely polite and helpful staff and it arrived quickly. The food was delicious with very generous portions.
We had a lovely chat with a couple on the next table who told us they go there every week for food.
Would thoroughly recommend this pub/restaurant to anyone who wants a fab meal served by lovely staff.
Visited last week with my family. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the saltwater chicken. The staff were friendly too! Every one of us was pleased with our meals!
Also, the onion rings are HUGE!
Friendly service and delicious food. Very reasonable price. Generous portion. The lunch specials are marvelous! Especially impressed with the 20 oz Pork Tomahawk Steak.
An excellent meal with everything cooked to perfection. It was lovely sitting outside with the sun shining.
All 5 meals were served exactly at the same time so we could all begin our excellent meal together.
15/5/23: booked a table for 2 & again didn't disapoint 🙂 food & service 10/10
Popped in here with my wife & our dog to see what the food was like as this is our pick for date night this month 😉
I had cajun chicken burger & my wife had corned beef pie.
OMG, the portions were huge. The handcut chips were like we wedges & everything was cooked perfectly.
It was very busy when we arrived at 12.30 (no booking) so we had to wait for 30 minutes for a table, not a problem as we went shopping.
Surprisingly my pint of Pepsi max was only £1.98 😲 where I'm used to paying a lot more.
Very friendly staff, excellent value for money & a nice atmosphere for a lunch time.
We will definitely be coming back for date night & I'm looking forward to a 20oz steak.
Also will recommend to family & friends.
Sorry no photos as we were starving 😅
Well I have to say on behalf of myself and partner... we have always eaten here and never had a bad experience... tonight August 5th 2023 was no exception.. my partners birthday we decided to spend the evening eating and drinking here at the saltwater Inn as we did on our first date 5 years ago and have continued to do on numerous occasions... our meals were absolutely outstanding the customer service we received was 10 out of 10 .. so we honestly can't understand what the negative reviews are about? ... yes everyone will have a different opinion on food and service but in our case we can't fault this lovely place where we always choose to eat .. overall 10/10
Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Quite busy & service was a little stretched. Food was good.
Fabulous place..lovely atmosphere. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was amazing and very reasonable. Will definitely be coming back. One tip..we were very lucky on our visit to get a table. Might help to ring ahead or book in advance. I had new york steak..
What a wonderful place. Popped in on the off chance this evening at 5pm as it was our last evening on holiday. 4 of us and a dog and the landlord kindly fitted us in for a meal which I have to say was lovely. All home cooked and very reasonably price. Definitely recommend.
Enjoyed the warm cosy atmosphere that was on offer on a cold and stormy night. We enjoyed freshly prepared food at a reasonable price served by two lovely friendly ladies. We would definately go back, especially with the dogs which are also welcome!
Fish and chips was ok. Chips were great, fish not so good, garden peas very poor, watery. On the food check I hadn't tried them, otherwise I would have said so. Cajun chicken was fabulous. Drinks served quickly. Service was fantastic considering the place was full. People were being turned away, so advisable to book, we did. Also dog friendly, quite a few dogs in.
