Ate here tonight with the extended family which meant more young kids than adults. Always a difficult meal out but staff were really friendly, attentive and patient.

Food was excellent, we had a variety of starters and mains and all were polished off with a smile. Children’s food was of the same quality as well, real chicken strips with a nice crisp coating and decent portion sizes.

A good selection of drinks and desserts and the atmosphere was really good, a busy Wednesday night after a cool and sunny day. The outside seating with fires for warmth looked really good.

Definitely worth a visit and the seafront makes for a nice walk before / after the meal or both.

Went for Sunday lunch today. A very polite and accommodating staff. For the standards of the local area, one would say the food was at the same quality/flavour range as other restaurants serving a standard roast. I had fish and chips which was also in par with the average area standard, so a reliable restaurant overall serving classic British food. The place seemed to be appreciated by people of a higher age range (60+) but there were also some young people around (like us 30+)

Lovely food and efficient friendly service is what we experienced to the backdrop of a stunning WSM sunset warmed by the fire pits

It didn’t need to be either. On a Sunday evening in July it was surprisingly the only open restaurant so our selection was limited, but despite this monopoly the experience was great. We will come back

Very good pub. Lots of seating inside and outside. I can recommend the fish & chips and steak. There is a very good choice of locally sourced food on the menu. Bar and restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. I would dine here again when I visit Weston Super Mare.

Seaside Charm and Culinary Delight at The Thatched Cottage

Positioned nicely on Weston-super-Mare seafront, The Thatched Cottage offers more than just a meal—it’s an experience wrapped in coastal charm and warm hospitality. We chose to sit outside, where the view of the sea framed our evening beautifully. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly, which made it all the more enjoyable for our four-legged companions. With table fire heaters casting a gentle glow, the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed—perfect for unwinding.

Starters: A Tale of Two Dishes

We began with two seafood starters: prawns and calamari. The prawns, sautéed in butter, chilli, and lemon, were a standout—rich, zesty, and perfectly balanced. The calamari, while tasty, didn’t quite match the prawns’ excellence. The batter was more tempura-like but lacked crispness, and the squid itself was sliced a little thin. Still, the flavor held its own and paired nicely with the seaside breeze.

Main Course: Ling with a Zing

For mains, we both opted for the Catch of the Day, which happened to be Ling—a lesser-known fish that turned out to be a delightful surprise. Grilled to perfection and served with a lemon caper butter, small boiled potatoes, and fresh broccoli, the dish was simple, elegant, and expertly executed. Each element complemented the other, letting the freshness of the ingredients shine.

Dessert: A Sweet Finale

To finish, I indulged in the fresh strawberry Eton Mess, topped with Chantilly cream. It was everything you’d hope for in a summer dessert—light, fruity, and indulgent without being heavy.

Final Thoughts

From the timely and friendly service to the great-tasting food and welcoming atmosphere, The Thatched Cottage delivered a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a spot that combines seaside serenity with satisfying plates. Highly recommended for a relaxed meal with a view—and your dogs will thank you too.
