Had lunch in Fish on the Quay today at lunchtime , we had a fantastic time, the staff could not have been more helpful and the food was really good..... But I much say it was really value for money. To cater for 8 people and to have it super slick and all staff were exceptional I would recommend you pay it a visit

Return time after time and never disappointed
Had a great meal yesterday with friends and family. Fabulous gins from their extensive range and took advice from the lovely Babs on what to try next. Served initially by Angel who was so helpful and made us feel welcome. The food was outstanding and fresh. We will return. Thanks again Babs x

Delicious Lobster Tails and King Prawn Salad
Visited Friday afternoon (25th June) and had a very enjoyable lunch. We sat outside and the staff came over very quickly and were attentive throughout our visit. I had the most delicious lobster tails and king prawn salad. Also the bread I had as a side was warm and soft and tasted amazing. Everything tasted fresh. I couldn’t fault the lunch nor the service we received. We would definitely return and recommend to others.

Delicious fresh fish in a wonderful setting. Yummy!
This is our second visit to the restaurant and the setting is perfect, next to the water with tables overlooking the barges. The staff are really friendly, and food is outstanding. We had a fish platter last time, and Scampi & Chips this time. The homemade cheesecake was huge - one portion was big enough for the two of us.
We will definitely be returning. My partner was already eyeing up the risotto.
