The Bay Horse — Restaurant in England

Wow ! Is all I have to say. I’d been recommended this place to eat and especially for the fish. A couple of us went to eat and from setting foot in the door felt very welcome. The ambiance and feeling of the place is warm and friendly. The food is in a class of it’s own. I had the Fish Pie and was excited the moment I tucked in. A perfect balance of fish and sauce to potato. Utterly gorgeous. Lovely veg and salad too. And I don’t think I’ve yet eaten a chip anywhere on earth and had to ask When paying the bill if they could tell me how they cooked them. Their chips make you stop eating and question their lushness after your brain gets excited. Honestly ! These are the best chips anywhere. This means this now has to be my goto place locally to eat as the food is fantastic. If you haven’t ever been to the Bay Horse, and I hadn’t; you must go. You’ll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff and comfortable surroundings. Well done to the team that work there for making the visit a...

Before I get stuck in I will say the staff here are fantastic. Super friendly and nothing is too much trouble, atmosphere is nice (although can be a bit tricky to navigate with a pram).

Unfortunately the food here just hasn't lived up to expectation (or price) on the three times I've visited. Most recently a bacon cheeseburger and chips. Chips were "fine" nothing special but nothing to complain about, however the burger was overcooked by my standards (prefer a medium rare, wasn't asked), was VERY greasy leaving a puddle on the plate and had a strange aftertaste reminiscent of liver.

The other order on my table was a cheese sandwich and chips, and there were two other tables (totalling 6 of us) eating. With that in mind almost an hour wait for food was a bit of a surprise.

I'd recommend going here for a drink 100%, but I don't think I would return for food. That said, some people absolutely rate the meals here so please consider this a case of "not...

It's the small things that make the difference between the good and the average. We dined at the Bay Horse recently encouraged by reports of the refurbishment and new menus offered by new owners. The food we had was well presented and tasty -vegetables were fresh and crisp and the quality was good. However we were not greeted on arrival and it took about ten minutes for us to be given a menu. We were brought a basket of bread with an oil dip -but no bread plates provided! The gentleman on the neighbouring table asked for hot water for his coffee and it came in a cup rather than a jug. These are small things but were irritating . More training and attention to customers would lift this place from...
