We went for my mum's 70th birthday party. The service was above and beyond; decorating my mum's desert with a happy birthday sign and candle, giving us extra chips when a few fell on the floor (we hadn't even asked for this), making my mum a little napkin flower and giving her some chocolates to take home with her honestly it was superb! All the staff were lovely! And to top it off, the food was AMAZING! My belly pork was incredible! Will definitely return and highly recommend for special occasions

I took my Husband for his Birthday. It's a real treat for us to spend money on a meal out without the children. We were really happy, the food was lovely and far beyond anything I could produce at home. Well presented, really nicely cooked and very tasty,. I had the duo of lamb and my husband had the cod. Plenty of vegetables and did not leave us hungry. We had desert as a treat rather than needing them, again they were lovely. I felt the prices were very fair given the quality, and have paid sinilar in other restaurants for food I feel I could make myself. The service was great, our waiter even called us a taxi to get home at the end of the night. Would definitely go back for a special occasion.

The food and the service were excellent. It's a fine dining restaurant. They know their job

Fantastic service, the host is really charismatic and friendly, almost feels like a friend welcoming you to their home! The food was exceptional, delicious and well portioned. Could not place a fault on anything. Was definitely worth booking and eating there! They don’t have a dedicated children’s menu, however upon suggestion from the host’s suggestion they made a penne pasta with homemade pesto off the cuff for our toddler. This was greatly appreciated!

Thank you for a superb meal before our excellent theatre production over the road at the Babbacombe Theatre. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and a good menu. Service was friendly and timely. We were not rushed and got to the theatre 10 minutes before the show. Thank you Lydia and Douglas

What a taste sensation. I wish I had taken more photos. I emailed in with a special request. I had been so disappointed by Sunday Roasts around the UK that I requested fish if possible. On arrival when I saw the plated lunches coming out of the kitchen, I thought I would give a Sunday roast one last try! I had the smoked duck starter, chicken breast as the roast and Eton mess for dessert. The starter was exceptional, filled by succulent chicken breast, and the accompanying vegetables, roasties and giant Yorkshire pudding were outstanding.

Our first visit and we were really glad that we had made a reservation. A prompt and friendly welcome and all staff were friendly and efficient throughout. The food was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. I chose the ravioli as a starter and it was delicious. My husband had the moules from the specials board and really enjoyed them. I had the belly pork for my main course and it was scrumptious with unusual spring veg including cooked beetroot. My husband had Tournedos Rossini, perfectly cooked with a delicious pot of gratin dauphinois. A cheeseboard with a port was a great way to finish the meal. Cocktails were a must have!

We came across The Waddling Duck when doing some traveling and fancied some lunch. The restaurant was shut until 5pm but they were still serving food in the bar area. The atmosphere was great and across the road was stunning views of the sea and cliffs. The food was outstanding and the gentleman that served us was very friendly and attentive to us. Would definitely recommend here and we hope to come back again to dine in the restaurant.
