"We have visited this restaurant multiple times to purchase seafood, and while it is always a bit pricey, the quality is worth it. However, the experience of ordering takeaway food was disappointing. After reading other reviews that explained the difference between dining in and taking out, it is clear that there has been a decline in quality over the years. In the past, Latimers was known for having the best crab sandwiches, but unfortunately, our recent experience fell short. We ordered two crab sandwiches at £6.95 each and a portion of chips, which arrived in a brown bag and were very cold. The sandwiches had more bread than filling, with a meager portion of crab meat. The chips were undercooked and there was no salad included. This was meant to be a treat for Father's Day, but we could have gotten a better meal at a gas station. Overall, the takeaway model at Latimers needs to be reevaluated based on our experience and the lack of customers in the restaurant compared to the long lines at other establishments along the seafront."

Visited today on a cold Saturday so decided to eat inside rather than outside. We both got a crab sandwich which was on bloomer bread and was absolutely delicious. The home made lemonade was very refreshing with lots of flavour. We will be back.

The seafood looks and tastes as good in the picture. It’s a friendly location on the seafront with the most fantastic crab sandwiches on fresh bread. We were recommended it by a local and they were not wrong. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re visiting the area. View menu

Went specifically to buy crab meat in a pot.When got home there was so e white mat sprinkled over the top and the rest was watery brown do called meat.It was hardly eatable.Irang and they apolog8sed so they will obviously be putting things right hopefully.Fish isn't cheap now so it needs to be a hood standard.

One beautiful Saturday, we decided to visit Latimer's to explore their menu. Shortly after, we were enjoying delicious Crab Whisky soup, Smoked Fish Chowder, and fantastic sandwiches. I chose prawn, while my wife opted for crab. The food was so good that we returned the following day for breakfast buns, which not only met but exceeded our expectations.

Was always one of my favourite places for a coffee and a scone at the seafront but after todays visit I won’t hurry back !!! Ordered 2 Lattes , tea , bacon sandwich , cheese scone and crab sandwich.. drinks were fine but the crab sandwich was presented in a brown paper bag freezing cold and not at all enjoyable the cheese scone was presented in a paper bag pre buttered and not very fresh !! Must the bacon sandwich was nice fresh and hot but again presented in a paper bag … the cost of the above £23 certainly did not feel like value for money

I visited the restaurant today and was extremely disappointed. I ordered a tea, a latte, a cheese and ham panini, and a crab sandwich. After placing my order, I was informed that there would be a 20% VAT charge if we wanted to sit inside because the restaurant is considered a takeout, not a cafe. Despite the heavy rain outside, we were not given this information prior to ordering. The food was average at best and was served in takeaway containers. In total, we paid £21 for 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks. Overall, it was a poor experience and I do not plan on returning.

"Booked as a table of 10 (work night out) we are all nurses and having a well deserved night out. Arrived to be told no booking in diary. Person who organised said she booked via Facebook and got a sharp reply “We need to confirm” she said you did and showed him the reply!! Sent to the bar whilst we waited for a table, took around 15 mins. Due to the new covid rules And one way system this meant we had to Go out and come back in when table ready. Plastic screens also on end of tables but to be honest made no difference as the diners were sitting at either side and the screen isn’t wide enough to offer any protection. Some Waiters wearing masks, but most didn’t most of had them on their chin!! Popadom and pickle tray ordered. No idea what was on the pickle tray!! No onion salad or lime pickle, the only one any of us could determine was mango chutney! We all had starters and mains, all food piping hot and no one complained about quality of food. It was all very tasty. Asked for some to be boxed up to take home. Boxes just put in middle of table. One of the group didn’t notice this and his meal was taken and disposed of. Had he had almost 2/3 left! Anywhere else I’ve been they always box for you! Even just a cheap special on ocean road they always box it for you!! Drinks ordered at the table, had to be chased up on one occasion as one drink forgotten. It’s the service that lets this place down. The food is lovely but I’ve had same quality food with better service on ocean road! And it’s cheaper!"
