Came here for the first time and really enjoyed the pork belly. The welcome cocktail was a nice surprise. Service was attentive without being overbearing.

The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, cooked in a rich red wine sauce. The meat just melted, no knife needed. Had to wait a bit for it, but that&#39;s fine when it&#39;s made fresh.

Lovely spot for a sunny afternoon. The garden seating is a real highlight - peaceful and beautifully arranged, felt like a proper little escape. My only note is that the wine list is a bit limited for the setting. A crisp ros&eacute; would have been perfect out there.

The fish was freshly prepared and tasted pretty good. Staff were friendly and handled my request for no dairy without any fuss. The sea view from the table was a nice bonus, though the breeze got a bit strong later on.

Generous portions, and you can tell everything is cooked fresh. The staff are really friendly, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed. Service was quick too, so you&#39;re not left waiting around.

The fish and chips are cooked fresh to order, so the batter is always light and crispy. You can really taste the difference. It&rsquo;s a proper treat.

The biriyani was spot on - the rice had a lovely texture and the spice mix was just right. Maybe a bit heavy on the turmeric for me, but still a really nice dish. Keen to come back and explore the rest of the menu!

The butter chicken was spot on, and the portions are definitely generous. Good value.

Been coming here for years. The laksa broth is the reason - it&#39;s always rich and spicy, just like I remember it from my first visit. A bit pricier now, but that flavour is consistent. My go-to comfort food spot.

The fish and chips are always spot on. The batter is so light and crisp, just how I like it. The chips are proper thick-cut and never feel oily. A solid choice.

The staff were really friendly and on the ball. Our server kept checking in without being intrusive, water glasses were always full. Made for a relaxed evening where we could just enjoy the food.

Been coming here for years. Their cream tea is always spot on, just what you need after a stroll.

Solid pub food. The fish and chips were pretty good, and the homemade fish cakes were a nice touch. We enjoyed everything we ordered. It&rsquo;s a decent spot for a casual meal.

I had a fantastic meal with my friends, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The skewers I ordered were cooked to perfection!

Portions are generous for the price. Food was fresh, and it was ready exactly when they said it would be.

Despite a few minor issues, the overall experience was positive. The staff were friendly and the food was served quickly, which we appreciated.

The portions are generous, so sharing a few dishes is a good idea. The bill came out very reasonable.

The Sunday roast hit the spot. Sat outside, which was nice. Had a slight hiccup with the dessert order, but the food was exactly what we needed. Solid spot.

Loved the cosy, rustic vibe here. They&#39;ve used the space so cleverly, creating these little nooks that feel almost private. It made our meal feel really relaxed and comfortable.

The set menu is such a steal! The French onion soup was so rich and the duck liver parfait portion was huge. Perfect for sharing with a friend before a night out.

The hot plates are a thoughtful detail, keeping the food warm. I appreciate that the quality of the ingredients feels consistent each time I visit. The vegetables are always fresh and crisp.

We had an absolutely gorgeous meal. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we couldn&rsquo;t have chosen a better venue.Only staying in Climping for two nights, we chose the Oyster Catcher not knowing what we would be faced with. The pub is welcoming and inviting in smart but casual surroundings. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite without being pushy or insincere.Our meal was sensational, tasty Chicken Curry for him and Garlic Lamb Skewer for me. Fabulous! Thank you for making our celebration all the more memorable.

Perfect for a quick bite. Got the blueberry pancakes and a cortado. Pancakes were fluffy, coffee strong. Bar staff were friendly and quick. Just what I needed on a busy day.
