(Cannot comment on the rooms as we didn't stay). Visited the North star to call in for a quick drink and to get a meal for the kids after a day at the beach. A lovely lady welcomed us and kindly let us know that food had just finished for the restaurant. We were about to leave when she very kindly said that she could ask the chef if they wouldn't mind doing us a kids fish and chips. Excellent service and such lovely staff. Would highly recommend anyone to visit here. Thank-you once again.
Review of the restaurant.
We planned a meal out to celebrate our wedding anniversary. In this part of the world, if you want top class dining, the North Star is THE place to go.
The location is perfect with gorgeous views across the countryside and cliff tops.
We were greeted by the manager who showed us to our table and took our drink order while we browsed the menu.
The choice of food is wide and varied but we both fancied something special. The "Specials Menu" lived up to its name!
I went for Venison and Black Pudding sausages with a Stilton and Black Pepper Sauce. It was heavenly! 😍 I was sad when I'd finished!
My wife went for Smoked Haddock Goujons with Sweet Chilli Sauce. She said it was divine.
For our mains, I chose Fillet of Haddock stuffed with Crab Meat and Prawns. Absolutely beautiful! It came with a side order of chips, which were a little under cooked for my taste.
My wife chose a traditional Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Roast Potatoes and Boiled Potatoes.
The mains arrived with a selection of vegetables. The Courgettes were so good!
The service was unobtrusive and attentive. Just exactly what you need for a romantic dinner!
The desert trolley is famous, locally, and with good reason.
After a difficult decision, I went for a slice of Red Velvet cake and my wife had an ice cream.
The meal came to £81.75 not including tips.
As we were paying, they apologised, again, for the chips and offered to cook them well next time visited.
I gave the restaurant 4 stars out of 5, which isn't a reflection of my opinion of the chips! But I felt, overall, that the food, the location and the service were all good.
I couldn't give 4.5 stars and we didn't stay in the hotel so I couldn't give it 5 out of 5.
Cannot star rate the rooms but if they are like everything else here, they are lovely, although we didn't stay here, we had a fantastic meal with very professional service. We hadn't been here for about twelve years but low and behold it is just the same as it was, and in a word brilliant. This place has got it all, good food, very good service, and a real welcome, thanx guys for everything on the day, even though we didn't stay at the north star hotel they still treat you as though you are, that is the reason I cannot star rate the rooms, but I would be certain if they are like everything else, they will be perfect. If you like this coast you will I'm sure love to stay here, we will in next visit here definatly.
