What a wonderful experience at The Pea Green Boat! The fish of the day was cooked impeccably, a tasty experience to demonstrate the quality of the local fresh fish. The owner made us feel very welcome and the wine was very enjoyable too. Loved the decor, service and food/drink. Beautiful location overlooking the sea. If you want to experience the best of the area and enjoy good food this is the place to go! Tasty salad & fries sides not showing on below photo. Car park 1 min away

Great service, beautiful spot and a wonderful lunch. A beautifully cooked piece of halibut and great fish and chips, highly recommend! Very welcoming to our little one as well. Thank you! Hope to be back next time we’re in the area.

We went there for lunch. What a fabulous experience! The host was courteous and professional. The service was quick and the food was tasty. We opted for 2 course lunch. It was delicious. The portion was the perfect size. And, we had a great view of the sea.

Lovely little restaurant, good prices and small but carefully chosen menu. Scallops and Calamari good. Sourdoughbread delicious. Pay the place a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Went for my husbands 40th and what a treat. Superb local seafood and great service with a beautiful view over the bay. The owner was very knowledgeable about the local area and happy to have a chat and the chef was able to accommodate my dairy allergy so I could still enjoy the wonder dishes on offer. Will definitely be returning and would recommend without hesitation. A must visit for those who love seafood - the oysters and mussels were amazing.

Quality. Superbly delicious scallops (with caviar!) and calamari, with chips. Tasty locally brewed beers (Salcombe or Gritchie breweries). Very friendly and helpful service. Great view out to promenade and sea. Recommended.
