    Excellent in every way. Friendly service with just the right level of attentiveness. And the food! The beef roast dinner was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant and the Spiced Pumpkin Tart and Raspberry Pavlova.. amazing!

    Another superb Sunday lunch. Two friends, who have been wanting to go also managed to join us this time. They were greatly impressed with the meal and said it had lived up to their expectations from all they have heard.

    Mouth-watering food with a great balance of flavours. The Chef is Outstanding! The Smoked Tuna Tartar was delicious and my favourite! The Red Pepper and Mozerella Aranchi was gorgeous ~ albeit one served to my guest which was pretty big. The Crispy Coated Plaice Filet with Chunky Chips was just perfect! A good portion size and very tasty! A quiet and pleasant ambience for lunch. Our waitress, Alana, was lovely and attentive. Highly recommended and looking forward to my next visit!

    Having been here twice in 2021 and 2020 and having had exceptional experiences we were hesitant about returning after the closure and reopening of the Curlew for our 10th wedding anniversary. We needn’t have been. Exceptional food, great service. Will return
