    Doyle’s was an outstanding experience. Fresh food, expertly prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the grilled octopus and fish and chips with grilled John Dory. My wife had the fish and chips with fried Whiting. Portions were large and wonderful! Highly recommended!

    We booked our table to ensure we got a great location. On arrival, we were offered a table in full sun, which was unacceptable on a hot day. After discussion with front of house staff, they initially offered a table inside which we declined. A subsequent offer gave us a table outside in shade which was great. Food and service was very good after our initial disappointment with the table seating.

Prawn salad inedible - my 1st prawn sand grit ok for one but by the third prawn I just couldn’t do it. Waited 15 mins for a bill which I then ended up standing up and getting myself

    The fish was really fresh and tasted amazing. Mocktails and desserts were delicious too. Coupled with a beautiful view, this was a special evening spent with our visitor from the UK. Many thanks.
