The ever so slightly over the top quirky ground floor bar is jolly well stocked, serving classy Martini cocktails, Bombardier ale, lagers, affordable decent wines and artisan gins. The bar leads either up to the first floor dining rooms or down to the trendy ‘Shoreditch’ bare brick cellar lounge bar. The Grand Dining Room of Georgian proportion seats about forty people, the smaller room is adjacent; perfect for gatherings of about a dozen. Lunch and dinner menus focus on the freshest British shellfish landed from around our shores from Cornwall to the Shetlands and are presented in beautiful steaming hot copper Cataplana dishes for sharing. Steaks are all Aberdeen Angus Beef from farms in the borders, again served to share at your table

Took my sister for dinner here after wanting to visit for a long time. This place best represents how much of a hidden gem Wallingford is becoming for food. We like to go for oysters as a tradition.
We ordered a dozen and a half oysters which were stunning, very well prepared, and well sized. Much bigger than the ones you can get in the shops. We then got the 10oz surf and turf with scallops to share, I recommend getting the french bread for the drippings.
If I had one comment to improve on I’d suggest serving the surf and turn in a different skillet, maybe one slightly smaller as it is a little large for the table. But I think they want it in the slillet for the steak and scallop drippings to collect so you can dip in. This could be achieved in a smaller skillet that doesn’t risk being knocked over during the meal.
Sticky toffee pudding we had was the best I’ve ever had and should be a feature on the menu permanently.
Solid wine selection.
This was the first meal out I’ve had in ages and it was an absolute belter. Service was also great and the waitress that took our table was great. I will be back very soon

I took my parents here for lunch, the menu looks fantastic. My mum had never had an oyster.
We ordered oysters, dresses crab, a lobster, scalops and a surf n turf.
Mum said the steak was amazing!
The crab was lovely too.
Oysters was very small (I was really surprised) and unfortunately they were over cooked.
The lobster looked fantastic but that too was over cooked, the meat was not tender and was a bit tough. It was my sons first time having lobster, although he did enjoy it, especially the claws, he found it chewy.
The oysters were OK, nothing special. Mum said she would definitely try them again else where.
They really enjoyed the experience, but we won’t be returning.
The setting was OK, chairs really uncomfortable. It looked lovely with mismatched chairs and tables, flowers and candles.

What a properly amazing restaurant! Everything about it is sublime. The staff are wonderfully attentive and kind, the restaurant is quirky and comfy, and the food is truly out of this world – outstandingly fresh, flavourful, beautifully presented. Thank you for the best meal – we will be back again and again!

Food was incredible! Mussels, Scallops and Prawns with the chilli and ginger sauce were amazing. Steak melted in your mouth, the garlic, shallot and mushroom went great with it. Lovely setting, very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely be going back. Very Impressed.

A truly delightful seafood experience! Have been wanting to try this restaurant for year’s and Finally booked a table. We started with the oysters which were incredibly fresh and flavorful, followed by perfectly seared scallops & Cornish mussels, Washed down with cocktails.The food was only surpassed by the warm and inviting atmosphere and staff. A must-visit for any seafood lover! Will definitely be revisiting again.

We booked a last minute weekend in Wallingford and were delighted to find we could bring our dog. He’s really quiet and well behaved, but we are used to having to go to pubs with him. It’s brilliant that a quality restaurant is also dog friendly.
Anyhow everything else is fabulous – decor, the welcome and the service, the cocktails. And the food is outstanding. A wonderful experience.

Fantastic food and service, reasonably priced and a real treat for both a nice evening out and a special occasion.
I recently booked a table for 7, celebrating the mother-in-laws birthday. We were politely greeted and were provided a nice large table which didn’t feel cramped as some can when you have a large group.
It was a Sunday, so the normal menu was available plus the option of a Sunday lunch, which most of the table opted for. Personally, I ordered mussels, king prawns and scallops, each in a different sauce, with a side of chips.
The staff were knowledgeable, guiding us through our first visit with great personality a and clarity.
The food was fresh, hot and delicious. From someone who visits Padstow regularly, the seafood on offer was comparable and maybe even better than some I had sampled before.
I recommend a visit for any reason and will certainly be going back again soon.

Gorgeous food, great service, really good concept. Hosted a dinner party for 11 people in one of their private rooms – lovely sharing plates…. squid, prawns, crab and juicy steaks – very nice too!

This has been a lovely birthday treat, food, drink and service has been exceptional!! Will definitely come back. The restaurant is upstairs so be disheartened if it looks quiet at the bar, all the action is upstairs
