A review from last month (May 2024) said: “Friendly staff, delicious fish soup, scallops, John Dory and lobster. The fish is pricey, but it’s caught by their boat and is beautifully presented.

“Well worth the money and attentive, knowledgeable staff with a view to die for. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed. If you don’t eat, then have a pint on the wall – looking at the boats with the sun of your back.”

If you are in the Dale area, make the effort to visit The Griffin. Freshly sourced fish, beautifully prepared and served in a wonderfully relaxed environment.

“We sat in the sun on the outside terrace on a Friday lunchtime and were well served by the friendly and welcoming staff. For starters, we had the scallops and the crab fish cakes – both of which were delicious.

“For the main course we both chose the Gurnard dish, which was beautifully cooked and again, delicious. We will certainly be back in our next visit to the area."

The pies are fabulous, just like the Welsh new potatoes and leeks. Not to mention the fish options.

“We found the staff to be excellent, caring, friendly and an all-round ace bunch. The food came quickly and was delicious. It’s a great mix of a generally fabulous pub with great food offering.”
