Revisited November 2005   www.merchantsbluemoon.co.uk

They told us they had only just re opened after a 2 week closure for decoration, sorry but I don't think that excuses warm wine & freezing cold plates!  Enough said so now Yummy factor 4/10 and that is being generous BUT the Tom Jones impersonator was great & brought a fun atmosphere to the place so 8/10 to him!

Visited early March 2001 ( Also visited in Feb. using Times vouchers, so pleased we returned!).

Plenty of parking in Ocean Village but have to pay.

Modern trendy restaurant, young reasonably friendly staff.  2 course lunch for £9.95, specials & a la carte available.  All enjoyed our food but particularly good was poached haddock in a cream & mustard sauce with cabbage & new potatoes and  the boeuf bourguignon with mashed potatoes & green beans.  This was warming on a horrible cold & wet day!  Didn't really drink, other than spritzers as were all driving.

Not very busy at lunch times so not a lot of atmosphere but because of the ease of parking a good meeting place.

Cost £ £

Yummy factor 6/10

Report by C.J.

The higher the "Yummy" factor, the better the food & service.  The higher the number of £ signs the more expensive.  ( Roughly one £ sign = £5 per head )
