Atlantic Gate Seafood and Cocktails

About Atlantic Gate Seafood and Cocktails

A smart harbour-side spot that only recently stopped being the Holiday Inn restaurant, this one surprises people — the refit gave it a modern, softly lit room with a central bar, and there's genuinely space to park a pram without apologising to anyone. High chairs are there, the doors and floor take a buggy easily, and parking is free, which takes one worry off the drive in. Food comes out quickly and looks the part: garlic prawns people still talk about weeks later, chicken schnitzel, sticky toffee pudding worth ordering even when you're full. There's a kids' menu, vegan options, and outdoor tables for warmer days, and the team handled a gluten-free request without fuss. Breakfast has slipped lately by some accounts, and at ££ it's a treat rather than a habit — but one parent found the whole thing "very memorable".
