My wife and I visited here on a Saturday evening and were offered a fixed price two course menu by a waitress. On deciding what we would have a waiter came to take the order and told us it was 'a la carte' on a Saturday and the fixed price set menu was not available. So we started to look and order again and then ordered, what fantastic food, so well cooked and presented and we really enjoyed it, so under marks for excellent being slightly disappointed by the original offer of the set menu. (a training issue?). Will go again when in Jersey (when the set menu is on!)

This restaurant offers fabulous food at fantastic price.
I was impressed with the set menu for £20 for dinner . Delicious food .
Would recommend Bass And Lobster to everyone !

Out first time at this restaurant following reading the reviews - needless to say we weren't disappointed! We went to the early bird dinner at 6pm and what good attentive service and most excellent cuisine! So much so, we booked to go again this week before returning home from our holiday!

First time at the bass and lobster. The set menu was great plenty of choice and a lot of the dishes sounded appealing.
Had the fish cake and lamb. Both were very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient .
Would happily go back for the well priced set menu again.

Lovely food, varied blackboard menu. Except Saturday there is a very well priced fixed price menu. For the regulars this could change more often. The meat dishes are as good as the fish ones, despite the name this is not just a fish restaurant. The taster platters are big enough to share and the wine selection varied. Easy to get the bus from town, plenty of places in Gorey for a drink in the evening sun. In my experience the restaurants out of town are the best!

On arrival, not much attention given, this was the theme throughout the evening from serving staff. Food was of good quality and presentation as expected. The failing for us was the attitude of the staff. Perhaps this is different if customers are known to them!

I was one of a group of six on a busy Friday night. One of the group is allergic to dairy, and the staff always checked what she could eat and, if necessary, change the menu for her so that she could have things. I had the Scotch Egg, followed by Tempura "Catch of the Day" - both were fantastic, along with all of the other people's in my group. All food was great. The table we were sat on was big so lots of space for us which was great when there were lots of glasses. The service again was brilliant. Would most definitely go back their again when we are next in Jersey!

We love it here - we travel to jersey regularly to visit family and always come here! Great food and no complaints over portion sizes. We would recommend the "assiette" of deserts (miniature versions of 3 deserts).

We went for a mid week supper as a family for the first time to this restaurant
The food was superb staff excellent and great value for money
We will be back very soon thank you

We were a party of 6 sight seeing Gorey harbour and looking for a lunch venue, we came across the Bass and Lobster on the main road. What a find ! we had the lunch special menu at a fixed price for 2/3 courses. The food quality and portion size was beyond expectation, thank you for a great lunch.

Recommended by friends' recent experience we booked for a midweek trial of the set menu. It was much busier than expected on a Tuesday and the staff clearly were rushed. The service, however, was pleasant despite the wait between courses. The meal was excellent and a starter and main course for £15 was terrific value. The surprise came with the bill...I pointed out that the drinks ( wine aperitif and tea ) had been omitted ...no charge because we had had to wait between courses ! Unexpected and unasked for and the delay had not been so excessive as to spoil the meal. We shall be back, so customer service pays off.

Booked earlier in the day for evening meal(Saturday)Was able to park on site but parking might prove a bit difficult sometimes.Staff very helpful and generally service good.Mixed menu with bias on seafood.Overall food very good and a decent wine list.

Knew this place in 80's as a spit & sawdust pub. Wow has it changed. Nice décor. Menu not huge but plenty of different dishes even on set menu (£18 for 3 courses). Service excellent even when busy and food delicious. We changed our plans to go there for a second consecutive night. Well worth the trip even if you're not staying in the East of the island as we were.

They seemed happy to mix and match between their excellent value set lunch menu and the more expensive a la carte. Good service and great fish!

Booked a table at last minute after arriving in Jersey. It was a Saturday night so was very busy . Very efficient and friendly waiting staff and food and wine terrific. Menu largely fish, as the name would indicate . Good selection of dishes at a reasonable price. Would return .

amazing how the old pub has been transformed into a great eating place. Large rooms, light and airy. Seats a bit hard. Great choice on menu. Sadly could not have set menu as there were not enough customers !!!.
My husband and I had the Italian meats with mozeralla cheese, sundried tomatoes. This was served on a wooden plate, which set it off nicely. Good choice of wines.

Fabulous food in a very pleasant restaurant. Although the restaurant was busy we were given excellent service and the food was cooked well and there was plenty of it. There are no sea views but the sea is just a short walk across the road.

Visited this restaurant again recently and the food is still superb. I ate from the set menu which is excellent value. Although a set menu the food is amazing. I have never had a bad meal here. The staff are friendly and do not rush you.

I have eaten in the Bass and Lobster many times. Unfortunately I have to say that was once good service and decent quality food has slipped to a level which makes me reluctant to go again. I ate from the 'value' menu and had a greasy pâté starter followed by a tiny portioned haddock dish - with a very small pot of over salted peas and over cooked spinach (or what I think was spinach as the taste had been boiled out of it). Our first two courses were served fairly quickly - but for some reason (after giving us the menu) they decided to leave us for over 20 minutes to chose our desserts - even though the restaurant was about half full. However the desserts were delicious. Hopefully they can return to the standard I used to enjoy.

A good choice of dishes was offered on the set menu, I chose the chicken parfait which was absolutely delicious with an excellent texture. My partner chose whitebait which was unfortunately battered and obviously bought in. The tempura catch of the day was pollock, very pleasant but ordinary batter, not light tempura. A good selection of cheese finished the meal. A pleasant experience, would definitely visit again.

I went to The Bass & Lobster with my wife and mother last Sunday (20th Jan). The menu was very different to the menu online (which wasn't advertsided as a sample) which we had very much been looking forward to, however the menu on the day did have some nice options.
I arrived slightly after my wife and mother and, whilst they had their coats taken, no-one asked if they could take mine (not a big issue whatsoever but just one of a number of things that contributed to a feeling of poor service). We had to ask for bread and I had to go to the bar to order drinks - in fact we were never asked if we wanted drinks throughout the meal, except for the waiting staff to ascertain whether they could take the wine glasses away. We also ordered water which wasn't brought until we asked for a second time later on.
The starters (goat's cheese flan) were tasty, although the salsa verde was slightly overbearing. The mains were well presented (our beef was well cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were delicious) however the creamed squash was watery and far too sweet, and the roast potatoes were a little under done and not as crispy as they looked.
Only one of us had desert as the choice was limited and not hugely inspiring, however the one we did have, a chocolate creme brulee, was decent enough.
When it came time to pay we had to ask for the bill twice, and when we went to leave my wife and mother had to get tehir own coats from the ladies' toilet. Again, this lacklustre approach to diners is surely not something that has them clamouring to return.
Overall, apart from one blond male waiter who was very good but unforunately only served us briefly, the service was very innattentive and half-hearted, bordering at times on rude. The food is good, but not so good that I would return in an hurry as there are other restaurants in the area offering more choice and comparable, if not better, service.
Perhaps Sunday was an off-day for them, but consistenly high levels of service is a real differentiator for a restaurant, especially in Jersey, and The Bass & Lobster doesn't appear to offer that.

The Bass and Lobster serves top quality cuisine and it goes really without saying that the seafood on the menu is excellent. The location is quite good being around Gorey Harbour, however, there are some better choices for location actually in the harbour area. Definitely recommend this place.

Six of us visited the Bass and Lobster for lunch today. 5 stars for not resorting to a price inflated Christmas menu as most restaurants seem to have done. Instead, it was the usual excellent value, pleasantly served in nice surroundings. The restaurant wasn't crammed but comfortable with a nice buzz.
Food continues to be outstanding value at lunchtime at £12.50p for two courses and very reasonably priced wine by the glass.Our starters ranged from Whitebait (best I've ever tasted) through to smoked salmon with beetroot (looked delicious) to pate (generous). Bread was delicious and there was plenty of it.
Our mains consisted of chicken stuffed with goat's cheese and wrapped in pancetta with pumpkin risotto (excellent), Pork Wellington (everyone raved about it) to the traditional fish and chips.Everyone agreed that it was a first class meal and with several desserts, copious wine and tip, the bill came to £30 a head.
This really is one of the best value restaurants in Jersey and these days is consistent with its quality. We will be returning!

We went to the Bass and Lobster for our department's Christmas meal. As I have to eat gluten free, I phoned in advance - my food was wonderful! We were served by really friendly, attentive staff; nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was hot, delicious and well presented - the portions were generous and there was plenty to eat! I had the medium Rose wine - I'm not a great wine drinker, but that particular wine was very nice. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere - we were quite loud, but it never seemed overwhelmingly noisy, even though there was another large group in as well.
Food was well priced, as was the wine.Gluten free food was brought without me having to remind anyone, which was quite lovely :)
I would definitely return to this restaurant, both for a meal with my husband, with friends or family

We had a fantastic evening meal here, the food was delicious, My starter was Pumpkin Soup and is the best soup I have ever tasted. The staff were friendly and attentive and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely eat here again if we go back to Jersey.
