   Main meal, full deck platter was tasty. However, not value for money as it had very little chips and almost no rice. Desserts were okay. Service was vey good

   We drove over 2 hours to enjoy a “taste of home”!! Unfortunately this time round it was not as great as it’s been in the past. Food was a bit cold, mussels were TINY, and none of the favourite SA drinks available example Savannah or castle light. They were slightly busy as it was Good Friday, we did notice a bit of confusion in the kitchen, our order was incorrect but we were compensated for that which we appreciated however when we got home we checked our receipt and there were a few things which we ordered that were left off the bill. Sad as that can’t be good for business. Hopefully 🤞 they can improve and bring back that special all round SA Ocean Basket experience!

   I'm assuming this restaurant has changed ownership, as I've been going there for years and never had such a poor experience. The man at front of house was extremely rude. He had no customer service skills at all. He asked twice if we had a reservation, both times I said yes. He then pointed to a corner and said there is your table. It was not far from the door, so we were freezing all evening. Two separate guests on the table in front asked to be moved. We waited 15 minutes for bread but the main meal came quicker. After 40 minutes the front of started to stare&point at us. He came over&asked if we'd finished eating, even though we had half a platter left. We said no&he said he was pointing at us as he needed to strategises about his next booking. 5 minutes later 'the manager' said she'd been watching us&we hadn't eaten anything for a while,so were we finished&ready to leave. We'd been there45minutes&spent£63!when we told her we weren't finished or ready to leave she said that we had an 'attitude problem'&she was just checking as she had other bookings. Instead of letting us enjoy our belated mothers day meal,she refused to go away&spent10minutes arguing about why she needed the table back after45minutes!This place has gone down hill!The food was very salty,the wine was horrible &the customer service was non existent!never going back&wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

   I had a pleasant Saturday evening meal here. It was satisfactory but not wonderful. I had hake+prawns, which were OK; the best part was probably the accompanying "village salad" which was sort of Greek in style. For pudding, "Eton mess", which was not made to a traditional recipe (it was more of a trifle really) but I enjoyed it all the same. Bizarrely, the mixed-in fruits were warm: frozen I guess and microwaved to bring them to room temperature - and beyond. Service was fine but nothing exceptional. It was all quite acceptable and I might go again, maybe ... But I didn't feel the reality matched up to the impressions given by the chain's website.
