    Really authentic fishing hut restaurant. Very popular. A long wait for food but when it arrived it was really good. Would definitely recommend.

    Warm welcome from the front of house team, swift and knowledgeable service and great food and drinks that completely satisfied a family party of 8, including three children. What's not to love? Can't wait to make our next visit!

    Excellent experience as always at the Sole Bay. We appreciated being sat at a large table at the far end of the restaurant, as our party consisted of 4 adults, a 2 year old, a 7 month old baby and a large dog. We had plenty of space and the service was friendly and professional.

    I’ve read all the reviews and expectations were hi but unfortunately we were all disappointed the fish didn’t taste or look like Cod chips and bread were fantastic Very sorry to say we won’t be back and we wish we had gone next door to MRS TS takeaway David

    Staff and food fabulous. It was a bit quieter in the restaurant today and I thought it could benefit from some background music. That would help with overall atmosphere.
