Nicki is so helpful and makes planning a trip so easy and exciting. She responds promptly and provides lots of great options to choose from. She is a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend using Nicki for booking a trip.

Nicki Harrison is the best and I wouldn’t book my holidays with anyone else. She is so knowledgeable and friendly. We’ll keep going back to her without a doubt.

I'll be honest, we used to go here quite a lot 3 or 4 years ago and it was always very good. Very fresh, quite innovative food.
Went here the other day again for a change and were left quite disappointed really, especially for the money we paid. The food is nicely presented and looks and tastes pretty good, but with that tastes quite processed in the sense of over analysed and cooked. And my partner's main was significantly oversalted and she likes quite salty food. They were very good and took it off the bill which was appreciated but just surprised that it was sent out in that condition.

Something of a hidden gem in Gorey and you might well miss it if you didn't know it was there. Looks more like a pub from the outside but in fact an excellent restaurant.
Simple and airy decor inside plus a warm (sometimes overly) welcome creates a relaxed feel. The menu is always changing and there are specials as well as a good standard menu and naturally you can be sure that local food, particularly fish, will feature heavily.Everything is beautifully presented and portion sizes seem just about right so you can happily enjoy 3 courses and savour the flavours without wading through too many extra side dishes. I had scallops, salmon, and then bread & butter pudding - and it was hard to fault anything. Most of the other dishes I saw also looked very appetising, although perhaps a tendency to have a spicey feel to the menu which might be off-putting to some.
The feature of the menu is very much the unusual homemade ice cream flavours to select from with options such as stilton, curry and bubblegum flavours at £3 per (very small) scoop. To be honest, this is a bit of a distraction as the main desserts were perfectly fine.Service was prompt and attentive, although perhaps a little too over-friendly for some but the food is what matters and cannot be faulted. Excellent value and is difficult to beat anywhere else in Jersey - well worth a visit.

Absolutely delicious food, the majority (or all?) of which is locally sourced and attributes the farmer/fishermen etc on the menu who grew/sourced the produce.
The flavours and accompaniments are interesting and often unusual, including a number of interesting savoury ice creams.
A special mention for the king prawn tempura, which was just lovely and light, and the catch of the day with the most delicious potato cake. The other dishes chosen were from the daily specials and were all really good.
We couldn't manage a dessert but we did take note of the lengthy selection of ice creams, some of which were even sweet!
We also really liked the Sippin Unusual Citrus G&T - very refreshing! (SIppin being a local gin, and they also had a local rum called Indica, which we didn't try but was in another cocktail.)
Service was very pleasant - prompt and attentive.

A phenomenal meal out with friends. We’ve always enjoyed The Bass & Lobster, but our dinner last week was exceptional. The daily specials were to die for, the desserts sublime and the little touches such a freshly baked homemade bread with oils, hummus and quails eggs aperitif to the homemade chocolates with the bill. Front of house has just the right mix of humour and attentiveness without being overbearing…what a great team. We’ve been telling everyone how wonderful it was, so I hope we can still get a table again soon!!
