We went there on a Friday evening when the place was very quiet. I think the owners and staff are trying very hard to create something different, but they are missing that target on every front. It feels like it wants to be a hipster bar, with special ales and staff wearing leather aprons. If you don't put prices on your food and drinks it makes you look stuck up and pretentious, that sort of thing might work in Soho but not at Seaton Carew. Cocktails came out at 10 Pound each, which isn't too far off the average for the area. We had the sharing board costing 20 pound. Made up of 100% super market bought average items. No humus as advertised , no pickles , no dips. At 20 pound why not make your own pate, your own humus , make some bread to go with it. Something different to justify the price. The table across from us ordered pizza , we left before it came but we could see they were about to use bought in pizza bases. Again at that price you should make your own. It took the staff 40 minutes to make the sharing board seen in the picture while we were the only people with a food order in.
To sum up , it's way over priced for what you get, either drop the prices or even better raise the quality.
The real real problem is with not putting prices on things, I bet you have loads of people walk in, sit down look at the menu then leave?
It's your business, you are free to run it your way, if you are making a mint then brilliant , keep going and enjoy. If you are losing money, have a...

It was a nice place with chilled tunes playing live lounge style but there was a guy listening to thrash metal in his headphones that was drowning out the music of the pub. I did approach him and ask him to turn it down a bit since it was so audible to us but was greeted with a blunt NO! Mentioned it to the bar staff on the way out and I did not expect them to deal with the situation so unfortunately they have lost out on a lot of businesses as we go out quite a lot but won't be...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreApart from the sky high prices we experienced a rather nasty situation on leaving. Waiting in the cold for a taxi, after one drink, we were told to move away from the door - understandably if people were wanting to enter but that wasnāt the case. My companion then collapsed, myself and 2 bystanders tried to get her up yet the barmanās comment was ājust leave her, sheās drunkā. Werenāt doormen supposed to help? Id have to be a rich person to get drunk in there!! Itās obviously left a bitter taste and feel...
