    We have eaten here before.today was very disappointing.the service was so slow we sat down,after half an hour we got asked if we wanted water.after another wait we got asked if we wanted drinks.we decided to order our food to save time.the food was ok but very salty not as good as before,although my daughter loved her cottage pie. I ordered sticky toffee pudding and got bread and butter pudding I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to wait another half hour so I just ate it. Won’t be coming again

    Excellent Sunday lunch, large portions but unfortunately too large for us all to finish. A suggestion would be to have a smaller portion available on the menu especially for older people to avoid waste. Love the restaurant and staff, always welcoming and excellent service regardless whether you call in for a coffee or meal.

    we have visited The Relais Cooden Beach many times and have always had a good experience. However, the meal we had today was very poor, overcooked and expensive. The service on the other hand was very good, as always. Very disappointing. We won’t be visiting again in a hurry.
