"We visit this beach and cafe every year in memory of my grandad that passed away we have never had a problem in all the years we have been coming here until yesterday! Me and my sister sat down at a table while our mum was going to order the food for us me and my sister gave our children something to eat at it was lunch time and they were hungry no where in the cafe does it say you can’t consume any food or drink from outside the cafe so we didn’t think we were doing any wrong this man walked passed us 5/y times before walking over to the other side of the cafe and shouted at us ‘PUT THAT AWAY’ my sister asked what he meant and he said ‘that food I don’t want it in my restaurant’ ok I get that he might not of wanted them to have the food in there but he could of come over to us and ask us politely and not in front of the whole cafe! It made us feel very on edge because then everyone started looking at us! It didn’t stop there so my mum had ordered the food by this point and then we was waiting for our food the food came out and it was cold, the cheese wasn’t melted in the toasties it looked like that had just put to pieces of toast together with some cheese and onion (the price they charge they should be doing the toasties properly) my mum took them up to the counter and asked for help the staff member was so rude to my mum and was really arguing with her for no reason so my mum asked for the manager the manager came over and was really helpful she apologised to my mum for her staff member arguing and kindly gave my mum a refund I am so disappointed in this experience as we have never had a problem in all the years we have been coming! I would never give a bad review but this time I feel like it needs it!"

The eggs were overcooked and rubbery, while the gammon was cut too thick and fatty. This was the worst Eggs Benedict I've ever had and definitely not worth the price.

The owner may seem a bit odd, but the food, cold beer, and atmosphere make up for it. This restaurant is a very friendly and relaxed place to enjoy the beach or sunset.

This place is perfect for a late breakfast after walking your dog on the beach. The restaurant is dog-friendly and offers excellent food with helpful staff and a great view of the beach. View menu

Came here years ago, looking for a breakfast spot, not disappointed, staff great, breakfast recommended, tea and coffee as you would expect. The only drawback downside, it was very cold in the restaurant, no heating; wear a coat on colder days. We will return….

We stumbled upon this cafe by chance and found it to be in a perfect location on the beach, just a short walk from the road with good accessibility for disabled individuals. While we didn't bring a wheelchair inside, we were impressed by the food. We both ordered the Omelette and Chips and found the portions to be generous. I couldn't help but feel envious of the local dog walkers who were enjoying wine on a weekday lunchtime - how decadent!

Bright December day, hoping for a late morning brunch. I got a brunch but it wasn't nice. As I walked in member of staff sweeping, plus points but I think the place might not have been swept for ages. Young man behind counter looked dirty. greasy hair. filthy apron and Guess what he went off to cook my breakfast ! Breakfast with homemade soda bread was not good. Bread, horrid! O my West Bay Cafe what has happened to you? I come back here if in the area for a bit of nostalgia.......I won't be back. Awful !! View menu

I used to always stop at this restaurant when in the area, but it has recently declined in quality. It is overpriced for a beach cafe and I observed some questionable practices with their condiments. They used vinegar on my chips, and when I looked closer, I noticed some disgusting, snotty stringy stuff in the condiment bottle. It was clear that it had just been topped up and had not been cleaned in years. I couldn't eat my meal after that and showed a staff member who promptly took it away without saying a word.

A beautiful spot for people watching and great views of the sea and it’s revellers. My 3 girlfriends and I decided to give this cafe/beach bar an opportunity to wow us with their Full English breakfast. We all chose the half English unfortunately not one of us was happy with it. No one ate the sausage we all found it too dense with a rubbery skin and a funny taste. The bacon was chewy there was inconsistency with the temperature of all the food on the plate, actually the only thing I really enjoyed was the brown toast. So sorry but that is the truth, we will not be going back.
