The Swallowtail: Reviews & Ratings
Another wonderful Sunday lunch at Swallowtails. We had a fresh haddock and chips from the specials menu, a beef roast lunch, and a special buttered cod dish prepared for our daughter. Mick, Kay and the team always give us a warm welcome and the service is efficient and smiley. A great location with the view across the boats in the harbour. Highly recommended.
Excellent food, fast service, modern clean and tidy. My fish n chips was cooked just right and well presented. Lovely sitting out on the balcony taking in the view. My friends were also very impressed with their meals. Plenty of parking. Will definitely visit again! Just visited again and had Cajun chicken and rice. Lovely! Fast service, well presented food.

We had a wonderful family meal here a couple of Wednesdays ago at lunchtime. The food was delicious and 8 of us all had something different, the service was fab and the views are great of the Marina. Excellent restaurant. M x
We were here on a Saturday and the team here could not be any more accommodating. There were 9 of us and we hadn't booked, so they moved things around and made it work for us at such short notice. The food and drinks were fantastic, so much choice and great portion sizes. They made some amendments for the younger guests and also reassuringly had knowledge of gluten free for coeliac options! 100% recommend. Thank you x
Only popped in here for coffee but nice staff & coffee & a nice outdoor sitting area overlooking the harbour & boatyard.
