Went to the Cliff yesterday to celebrate my birthday - what a mistake! The surroundings inside the pub are quite pleasant. However, the food left much to be desired! I ordered the deep fried BRIE as a starter and I couldn’t eat eat it! It was encased in what can only be described as thick ‘stodge’! It was awful. Consequently, I didn’t have a starter. I then ordered the fish finger sandwich with chips as my main course. Again, this didn’t look appertaining and didn’t taste appertaining either! My chips (skinny) were undercooked and my Husband’s twice baked chips were burnt! The fish finger sandwich had no taste to mention - all in all a memorBle birthday for the wrong reasons!

The Cliff used to be excellent, great food great staff. Things have changed lately and we used to eat here at least three times a month. My wife's chicken was obviously microwaved, the breast was very overcooked and its poor legs were rock hard. I think my fish was dead before it was caught, the tartar sauce was awful, good news the chips were fine.
There are plenty of places offering much better food at similar prices.
What a shame used to be great!!!

Arrived for a meal on Easter Friday , went straight to the bar but no staff to be seen, 5 minute wait and we were served. Asked for a menu to be told that they had closed the Kitchen early, very annoying as we received a promotion email saying "We are counting down to a brilliant Bank Holiday"maybe brilliant for the staff as they are all leaving early. Why do they bother emailing regular clients with last service hours and then close the Kitchen early. Their loss word of mouth is an amazing thing!

Ok m not vegan but decided to go for the vegan coconut curry. See photos it was basically sauce and solid rice. So they offered second option of a tart which had far pastry. Never mind eh !

Have been enjoying this venue for many years, but not so on Tuesday 27 March. Lunch with two friends in a relatively empty restaurant at this time. Received very poor and indifferent service from sitting down until leaving the restaurant. First drinks took a long time to arrive. Menu selection another long wait and the waiter appeared to experience difficulties in noting the selections. Long waits for starters and main courses, with an even longer wait for someone to offer desserts. The same for the bill, which was placed on the table and the waiter had to be called for payment.
The menu hasn't changed in years and the fish selection is poor. Not cheap, however good quality food.
What a shame and will not be returning for a while.
What has happened guys?
