Excellent location that serves good food. We had fish cakes, tagliatelle bolognese and fish pie - all tasted delicious. Very friendly service.

Rooms not rated as a local to the Cafe. Often, when you see a Sandwich for around 10, you get a flimsy pair of pappy slices and some cursory filling. Oh no, possibly the best fish finger sarnie I've ever had. Generous portion, really tasty, healthy dollop of Tartar sauce, genuinely delicious. And for once I think the homemade coleslaw was actually homemade. It was delicious and I don't really like coleslaw. The location is of course fantastic, love that it's dog friendly too, I don't have a dog, but it's always nice to see dogs!

Just excellent, food, location, staff and service. Park in the large car park and walk there, it's worth it overlooking the harbour. TT.

Excellent cafe, came for breakfast, lunch and dinner across the week we stayed. Friendly staff and brilliant offering of gluten free and coeliac options for cakes, sandwiches, burgers etc

Wonderful location. Only had coffee and cake and both were gorgeous

Gorgeous setting can eat (or drink) inside or outside..terrace is the best! Weather permitting

Didn't stay so can't comment on the rooms The food was good and so was that service. Dog friendly place. It's not that cheapest but at least the food was good. Great location work a very big terrace area which will be great in nice weather We went for a Sunday breakfast but would return if in the area

A late afternoon lunch in a lovely spot with beautiful views. Although the cafe seemed popular and busy throughout the day we managed to catch that afternoon sweet spot after the much rush but before evening dining. The downstairs is bright and clean and welcoming with an outside terrace serving ice cream, overlooking the harbour. Upstairs also had seating and an outside balcony with tables offering an elevated view of the estuary - beautiful at golden hour. The classic burger we ordered is a LARGE portion with a big juicy burger cooked perfectly accompanied by plenty of chips and salad. All the food was prepared fresh on order but didn't take long to arrive. The service throughout was friendly and welcoming and I would while heartedly recommend a visit to the Clipper Cafe..., if you can find your visit just right on a late-summer evening just as the light begins to turn (with a glass of their own Clipper Gin if you like?) then you won't be disappointed.
