Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the prawns and lobster, often highlighting the amazing garlic and chilli prawn dish as a must-try. Many reviews praise the intimate and friendly service provided by Naomi and June, adding a personal touch to every meal. The seafood platter options are popular, offering variety and quality at affordable prices, often under ten pounds. Families appreciate the kids’ menu, making it a great place to dine with children.

The combination of a pub and seafood bar creates a unique dining experience, where patrons can enjoy a drink from the pub while savoring delectable seafood dishes. Live music often adds to the reviewers' enjoyment, enhancing the overall atmosphere, and making visits even more memorable.

Most Disliked

Some diners mention the lack of extensive indoor seating, which can make the bar feel crowded during peak times, particularly during the weekend lunch rush. A few guests express disappointment over the limited hot menu options, wishing for more variety alongside the fantastic seafood selection. Although Dillwyn's offers a range of seafood delicacies, a couple of patrons have noted that they would love to see more vegetarian choices, enhancing inclusivity for diners with dietary preferences.

There were also mentions of occasional wait times during busy hours, as the popular spot draws in a significant crowd, especially for takeaway orders. While the overall experience remains positive, these minor issues are worth noting for those looking for a seamless dining experience.

Seafood doesn't get much better than this! Everything looked delicious and I couldn't decide what to choose, so Naomi generously put this sumptuous platter together - and all for under a tenner. Friendly service, great food and very grateful to Naomi and June for today's wonderful lunch. Definitely coming back for more! Thoroughly recommended ❤️
