Booked weeks in advance as had been highly recommended. My partner had lobster which was lacking much meat, we did highlight this and they did discount a cpl of drinks, I myself had the haddock which was really disappointing, the fish batter was really poor flat with no crisp to it at all. We may just have been unlucky but without anybody actually telling the restaurant then nothing will change

Absolute fantastic venue and staff. We got married at the orroco pier in August of this year. From start to finish I cannot praise them any higher. The wedding planner kayleigh and her team were great, always keeping us up to date with any changes that concerned us, ensuring we never missed anything and giving some great ideas for the day. The events coordinator cam was also fantastic on the day, ensuring everything ran smoothly, keeping us to schedule and making sure the day itself was as good as it could be. All the bar staff were brilliant, friendly and happy to get anything that was asked

Great ambience and attentive staff spoiled by poor starters - king Prawns were from a frozen packet with dubious heritage (not King) and Hot Smoked Salmon was cold. A bad Oyster resulted in numerous trips to the bathroom throughout the night !!! Automatic discretionary service charge was paid but upon reflection was not warranted.
