  “Fresh seafood nicely cooked. We’ve been here a few times over the years and have always enjoyed it. The seafood is the focus and don’t expect much else - although I did not a vegetarian dish on the specials this time - it’s not somewhere to come with anyone who isn’t a fan of seafood. It’s not fine dining but great produce cooked well”

  “From sea to fork and in-between. Only just discovered this little gem recently. Located in the beautiful and charming village of Orford. The oysters and fish we had were amazingly good! Simple and delicious fish and seafood 😋”

  “Lovely fish restaurant with a good selection of smoked fish. I had the selection of smoked fish and thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife had the dressed crab but was not so impressed”

  “Nothing fancy. Just delicious, fresh seafood served simply, alongside warm, friendly service. The oysters and Skate wing were favourites.”

  “Had an absolutely delicious meal. I’ve been coming since a child and the food is still the same great quality as ever. We always make a special effort to visit whenever we come to Suffolk. For two people we spent £87…. Which was starters, mains, deserts and a soft drink each. I say it’s still good value for money and you leave absolutely stuffed!”

  “A bunch of us came here for lunch on a Saturday and it was a great experience. The restaurant is quite small with pretty basic decor, but that all adds to the rustic feel. The most important thing is the food, and that was delicious. We shared Oysters and I ordered the crab cakes for a starter and the sea bass for the main. The oysters were excellent quality and the sea bass off the bone was cooked to perfection. It was all washed down with a couple of bottles of crisp white wine that made for a most enjoyable afternoon. The bill came to £64 per person, which was reasonable considering the amount of top quality food we devoured!

  “One of our party had eaten here before and highly recommended it. We arrived after a three hour drive to be told our table was not ready. OK, OK maybe I am out of touch, the prices here seemed extreme. Local lobster salad was £38. The lobster was fine, not my favourite. The salad pretty standard stuff. The dressing straight out of 50 litre catering pack. At this price you'd expect more. The medium mixed grill at £19.50 contained one prawn, one mussel, two sardines (the cheapest fish in the market) and the best thing on the plate a small serving of very good fried small squid and two slices of bread. Incredible price. The dover sole, consisting of two medium (ish) fish, were nice enough cooked, but needed a crust or some browning. They were ok. The taramosalata meh. We had two puddings. The basque cheesecake was no such thing. Very disappointing. The chocolate and almond cake tasted of almond essence, a crime against cake making if you ask me. £10 for each pudding! The room is pretty basic and the school room chairs uncomfortable. I can see what this place is trying to do, but I was unexcited by it and at these prices I would expect more. Still, it was full and as you'll see from other reviews, "what do I know?"”

  “Absolutely superb meal here with the freshest of seafood. The oysters served from the restaurants own oysterage were especially just fantastic. The restaurant has a quaint charm about it and the service was friendly and attentive. We have a range of starters and mains including white bait, mackerel pate on toast, oysters, grilled muscles. The puddings were brilliant, too. Sticky toffee pudding (not featured in the pictures) and treacle tart”
