A little beach shack right on the sand serving the best of local fish and home grown vegetables in a relaxed environment. Book in, and enjoy

I love the whole ethos of Harryâs - easy, casual and right on the beach so that you can l take a long walk before or after along lunch. However, itâs lost itâs edge - too many restaurants become complacent with early success. We had the fish and chips - batter was not very tasty and even worse, soft. Chunky chips were bland and the tartare sauce was just about ok. At nearly £15 a dish I came away feeling I wished Iâd gone to the local chippy. Vegetarian options were limited. Service was friendly and amiable. The restaurant looked tired and lacking in love with empty shelves across the whole of one wall. Overall dull and tired and a disappointing experience. Needs to get its vibe back.

We went as a group of eight people for a 70th Birthday celebration. We were informed at the time of booking, at the confirmation of booking and TWICE on arrival we only had the table for two hours. Ok, we get it. If this is the case, it is the responsibility of the wait staff and the kitchen staff to get the food out in a timely manner. After an hour and a half, 20 minutes after the starter had been cleared, 6 of us had our mains, but there was no sign of the other two. We had to ask if they were coming. We were told, "The chefs are all about the presentation", though clearly not about making sure we all have our food at the same time. And clearly not about making sure we have time to have our meal. After the main course, we were not asked if we would like to see the dessert menu, again we had to ask for it. When the waitress came to give us the menu, we were told we couldn't have the chocolate fondant as it took 10 minutes to cook and we didn't have time. Maybe if we hadn't had to wait for half an hour for our main courses, we would have had time. Maybe if we hadn't had to ask for a dessert menu we would have had time. We were not slow eaters and the manager, after checking the timings admitted there had been a delay. He gave us a "round of drinks" off the price as compensation. This amounted to a bloody Mary, a cider and a coke (as all the other drinks had been wine). Great. We ate our celebratory meal with one eye on the clock and were made to feel like second class citizens.I was so conscious we had to be out. The wait staff, managerial staff and chefs ensured our celebration meal was nothing like we'd hoped for. Really disappointed.

Have ate here several times last year and always been excellent. Unfortunately there seems to have been a few changes. Orders are now placed at the counter rather than waiter/waitress. Menu is reduced. Varied versions of fried breakfast, salmon etc has now gone. Toast with breakfast no longer included in price. Top ups of tea/coffee with breakfast were previously free, now costing £1.Quality is still good but as I walk past several establishments offering the same and more choice to get here means I will spend less time here. I'm sure this will be the case with many more regulars.
