"This is my second visit in a year. The first time I picked the restaurant as it does a wide range of fish dishes and they did a good job. The second visit was very disappointing. I pre-ordered the surf and turf which was a.. special deal Well the one thing that made it stand out from the crowd was the size of the half lobster that accompanied the fillet steak. I'm surprised the lobster (Mrs P had the other half) was big enough to remain on the boat rather than being thrown back to let it grow a little more. It was also a little chewy and I felt ripped off. The steak was okay but I feel the meal was spoiled by the tiny lobster. The surroundings are quite dated but I went back the second time because the food more than made up for it; sadly that was not the case this time."

"Staying in Ellsworth this week and decided to try The Poacher for our dinner (4 adults) . Well what a treat. The home cooked food was absolutely delicious. Home cooked , is such an over used term, but this was just that. The 2 chaps went for Wagu burgers , which they said were juicy and lean and delicious. My friend , a super cook and foodie herself, had Scampi , which she said was the best she ever tasted and in 30 years I have never heard her say that about anything we have eaten away from home . I had a wonderful childhood memory lane comfort meal. A beautifully prepared and cooked, meaty real Smoked Haddock fillet on proper mash with perfectly cooked cabbage and cauliflower, topped with creamy parsley sauce. My tastebuds were transported to my grandmother’s kitchen from many decades gone . Strangely the landlord said the dish was in memory of his grandfather. We were definitely full after main course but couldn’t resist a peak at the desert menu. Oh my poor waist band. I thought I made a great sponge but wow the sticky ginger sponge with juicy chunks of stem ginger and perfect custard sauce accompaniment really was the icing on the comfort food cake. Great, super friendly service and bar . All in all a damn good find . I have never written a review for a pub restaurant before but I felt compelled. If you like good honest, well sourced, local unpretentious food , then this place will definitely not let you down."

"Afternoon tea Good points: The food was fresh and of good quality, they had listened and followed our requirements. The food was tasty and the taste combinations good. The quantity of food was also very good. Downside: Wish we could have eaten in the garden area or the terrace, when asked we got told this wasn’t possible. But couldn’t see a reason why this wasn’t possible. Ag the very least an area set for tea parties would have been more desirable and we would have returned if the garden was an option. Cutlery, tea cups and tea pot were all very low quality and that you would expect at an old persons home or hospital. No offer of what type of tea we would like either. The elderflower drink tasted like sparkling water with a touch of elderflower cordial this could be improved. Staff weren’t ready for our arrival and stated “sorry we’ve been busy” but half the restaurant was full. The atmosphere was lacking. No offer of anything else. Lacking some finishing touches and details but was ok."

"Booked last minute for 3 of us but early in the evening, so getting a table was no problem. The staff are friendly and the food was all really lovely. Just lost one star as there seemed to be a slight communication issue between waitress and kitchen. There was an issue with our starter that needed to go back to the kitchen, and the table in front had a similar issue with their main, that had to go back. So once that minor issue is resolved, it would be full stars, as the food was very yummy and everyone was very nice."

"Booked a pod especially for a surprise birthday celebration after looking at the lovely pictures on the website. It was an hours drive away as half way point between us and other guests. Management suggested on arrival if we got too hot we could sit elsewhere but as it was cloudy we thought we would be okay....urm, no, it was like sitting in a greenhouse, but as we traveled for this, we toughed it out. They need to have a weather temp recommendation when booking. When I saw the pod I was bitterly disappointed at the rickety furniture, decor and overall cleanliness. Pod looked like it needed a good scrub. Had to wipe down the table as looked like hadn't been cleaned in a while, even though staff assured me it had been done twice before arrival. Table was pealing terribly and had dirty sheepskin throws on the chairs. I love shabby chic but this was more shabby than chic. Sitting on large, dusty, gravel, it was not great. Staff were polight and helpful but clueless. Handing out the wrong dish, missing some food off a plate and arrived cold, however it did taste okay but way over priced and definitely not worth the money. Wished we eat in the restaurant as it looked nicer. Pods may work in the dark as you wouldn't see the failings but still looked very amateur for the cost. I dined in a pod locally to me last year and it was sooo much better for a fraction of the cost. I Wouldn't recommend this for special occasions."
