BAY VIEW GARDEN CENTRE AND RESTAURANT

Bay View Garden Centre and Restaurant offers a quaint spot for coffee and cake, albeit without the promised sea view thanks to the tide playing hard to get. The garlic mushrooms are apparently a highlight, winning over patrons who appreciate a decent meal. Staff named Sharon even won praise for her grace under fire when dealing with rude diners on her first day. The food has received mixed reviews, with some dishes hitting the mark while others, like the soggy fish and chips, flop harder than a bad stand-up routine.

While the ambiance is family-friendly and the waitstaff generally friendly, the inconsistency in food quality seems to be a sticking point. As one diner quipped, the Cajun chicken burger sounded better than it tasted—like a bad Tinder date that looked good on paper but fell flat in execution. Still, if you're after a pleasant spot for a casual catch-up, you could do worse. Just maybe steer clear of the overpriced chips.
