    A really friendly bar with great food. We had a table that looked out on to the sea which was fabulous . Really enjoyed my crab salad.

    We’ve been regular visitors to the Marine and have seen good service and ok service but our visit this time was very very good. The food was excellent and a new menu, we chose the fish specials. The quality was as fresh as you could wish for and lovely combination of flavours served with friendly staff. Drinks were good, a decent wine list and a proper pint of Guinness that’s obviously well kept. Will definitely be booking again this summer

    I booked a table for 7.45pm via opentable, but my daughter was told on arrival that we had 12 minutes before the kitchen closed so we felt incredibly rushed. Don’t book tables for a time where you know that customers aren’t going to have the time they need to settle, have a drink and choose what they’d like to eat. My Caesar salad was served in the smallest bowl in the world and I didn’t think the chicken or the croutons were of suitable quality. I’m assuming the chicken was originally frozen, it was not nice. However a few members of my family had burgers and they said they were really good.

    I booked a couple days before our visit and received email confirmation and a handy reminder a couple of days before. Our booked table was ready when we arrived and we were able to add one additional guest with no fuss. The table was laid with everything we required and a quick explanation of how we could order meant we had drinks very quickly and our food arrived very shortly after. The quality of the food was very good, both ingredients and presentation. The entire group commented the value was exceptional. The front of house staff were very busy but always attentive. We live 200 miles away but if not I’d be here often.
