What the punters say: “I've had many steaks in ‘Spoons over the years and these have to be up there with the best of them, if not the best. Very impressed! Washed down well with some good real ale. Staff were friendly too. We shall definitely return next time we are on our way back to the ferry.”
“Come here often with friends as it is on the way home from work. We normally only pop in for dinner and each time it’s been great. The food is good for the price, can never complain, tastes good. Always hot and quick! Nice to walk round by the boats after as well.”
