Had some great meals at the cracking crab. Specifically I had grilled fish one night which was cooked to perfection. The location is absolutely perfect too, overlooking Polzeath beach.

Had the seafood platter, shared between two. There was plenty for the two of us and it was delicious! Having seen other restaurant seafood menus we thought this was well priced for the amount on the plate, variation and flavour. Lovely view and good service

Very overpriced for the food portions and quality. I appreciate it's a seafood restaurant but one vegetarian meal to choose from and it was tasteless and mediocre. Service was painful, The guys who looked after our table made us feel very unwelcome and unwanted. We spoke to a blonde lady at the end while paying who apologised for the service who was great! And we had to pay for parking.

This delicious cold seafood platter Fruits De Mer was seriously amazing. Sweet juicy and so incredibly much of a feast between two. We could have had two platters between the six of us but we wanted to gorge and it was worth it!!!

Lovely location with views across polzeath beach, plenty of seating with picnic tables and parasols. I love the fact they've kept the order on an app service, they also took orders for people who didn't want to do that. Good selection of food, we had the crab baguette and sandwich with chips. Very good quality, were coming back to try other bits on the menu, it's on the pricer side but this is to be expected in the location and of course seafood is expensive. Thanks for a lovely lunch!

Honestly the best meal we had in Cornwall. Big plus also for the great atmosphere and the amazing staff even though we showed up when the kitchen just stopped serving.
