"Went to The Jolly Fisherman on Saturday evening. To be honest, I 'm absolutely not a fan of pretentious restaurants but I think there is a problem when places over sell themselves. We had booked ahead obviously and following the reviews, we were really looking forward to it. We ordered a crab salad (included a side dish of fries) and a seafood platter from the 'specials ' board. This included a couple of oysters. Neither dishes were bad, they were just extremely ordinary, taking into account the cost both were about £30 a pop. There was plenty of crab, but the salad was something you 'd get in a very ordinary tearoom. The chips were dried out probably hanging around, being kept warm for a while. The special seafood platter was similar ok, but not exceptional. We ordered a trio of small puddings, which included a chocolate mousse that was absolutely solid, you could barely penetrate it with a teaspoon. The concept of a mousse, 'a dish made as a smooth, light mass ', having been missed. The bill for the 2 main courses, the shared pudding, one bottle of wine (in the lower price range) came to £110. Really don 't feel that price ticket was justified. Ordinary pub meals with extraordinary prices."
