Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Best food in Guernsey

My partner and I had the duck parfait to start and beef wellington for main during our short trip in Guernsey and it was hands down the best food we had all week. Hats off to the chef! Will come again

We popped in here at 6:00pm

We popped in here at 6:00pm on a Sunday evening and were greeted by ear-splitting music and a dozen or so, very drunk youths. The girl behind the bar had clearly lost control. Avoid like the plague.

No lunch

Despite them saying they serve lunch, they don't. This pub is located all the way at one end of town and we walked down there because they got such good reviews only to find they aren't serving middday. It was probably for the best however...since the pub absolutely reeked of smoke.More

Rather Disappointing

Very quiet on a Thursday late lunchtime. This pub has a nice interior and is close to the harbour and seafront. Currently there is no chef so the kitchen is closed; I tried the only real ale and it was off so I ended up...with lager - worse things happen at sea I suppose. The Sauvignon came from a small plastic bottle which did not impress my wife. All in all not a successful visit....More

Great food and delightful bartender

We ate here twice while in St Peter Port in September. The first time we had the best fish and chips I've ever tasted and I fell in love with sticky toffee pudding. The second time was a little more relaxing since it wasn't as...crowded.More

Cozy, ideal for food and foootbal

Recommended by reception staff at Old Government House Hotel, and they were spot on. Good sellection of beers/lagers and wholesome food on menu. Excellent pie & chips, plenty of meat in the pie, and a just-right pastry crust. Good value for money, even for the...pint of Export. Not very busy so suited me for watching the match on TV.More

Amazing pies!

The food we ate here was so delicious! I had the lentil and cauliflower pie and chips and it was so so yummy! One of the best pies I've ever eaten! My mums steak pie was apparently also very yummy as well as my sister's...lasagne! The only bad point about the restaurant is that there is only one vegetarian option and no dessert menu on a Tuesday!More
