It was a delight to return to Sole Bay Fish Company for lunch last week. The restaurant has reopened at a new level. The design has taken all the original key ingredients of the old restaurant to a new and higher standard producing a genuine character . It is absolutely lovely the ambiance is perfect ‘ The above combined with the delightful friendly service and food are all excellent Well done it’s been worth the wait

So pleased that the Sole Bay is back to its former glory. We were welcomed with open arms. Service was timely, nothing too much trouble. Even our little spaniel Dot was made a fuss of. And of course, the food was simply superb.
