    The food and ambience of the Courthouse is really lovely. It is such a sad time that this restaurant will not be in business in 2025.

    The Courthouse is a local gem and had been the venue for our wedding. We really enjoyed our lunches today which, as always, were beautifully cooked with top quality ingredients. The location and ambience are extraordinary in the historic building next to the sea. Service was friendly and efficient. It is such a pity that the restaurant is being forced to close soon due to redevelopment of the site. It will be hard to replace the restaurant with anything as good. We wish all the staff the best for their futures.
