    Starters were lovely but main steak had a lot of gristle and fish dish was very small for price...bit disappointed on decore and toilet accessories...expected a lot more for the reputation.

    Sunday Roast lamb was sumptuous. Monkfish was delicious. Sea Park Cocktail “moreish” Service was excellent from cheerful attentive staff . Prawn risotto starter was a delight. Parking on High St handy on a Sunday. Looking forward to return to sample more dishes.

    Fontana never fails to deliver and we've been regulars for more than ten years! The quality and presentation of the food is superb. An excellent, varied menu, including vegetarian options, and a comprehensive wine list. Staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful and the ambience is lovely. Fontana delivers a quality product. What's not to like?
