Based on TA recommendations, went for lunch. The set menu was very good value indeed. Nice fresh ingredients well cooked. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I was probably slightly disappointed, as most of the other reviews painted a superior picture against the reality, but still very good nonetheless. Only small negatives being the extra charge for my request for... more

Always welcoming and great value for money. Don't be put off by the situation by the shops. It is fantastic inside and the welcoming staff and great food are a real treat. Early bird menu Tues to thurs is a great way to sample the good food. Try the soup just scrummy! more

This is my favourite eating place. It is absolutely fantastic. A customer asked how a dish was cooked and he was told in detail exactly how and what was in the dish. So friendly and fabulous food. This is a definite recommendation to all my family & friends, work mates etc etc etc. more

I am a lover of fish and shellfish and will always order this from the menu whichever restaurant I go to, and I have found the Blue Marlin to have the freshest seafood of any restaurant I... more
