Beamers (Restaurant)

+ Very fresh, local seafood
+ Great sharing dishes
+ Warm ambiance
+ Friendly staff
I came here on a Bank Holiday Monday evening for dinner and found not only the restaurant but also the town of Brixham very quiet because of the non-​stop rain all day. Nevertheless, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the waiting staff and we were warmly welcomed.
One of the best thing about the menu is the hot seafood platter for two, available for either starter and/​or main. The sharing starter of scallops, mussels and crevettes — all cooked to perfection — came in the most delicious garlic, herb cream sauce that my friend who wasn’t that fond of seafood previously couldn’t stop eating until every piece of seafood was gone.
The main fish platter consists of local catches of the day, and on the day we went this include (yet more) scallops, a piece of skate, a whole lemon sole and a whole plaice. Just two whole fish alone on the menu would have cost more than £40, so sharing the dish at £35 felt like a steal. The only small downside was that our plaice and lemon sole were slightly overcooked so the fish was a bit chewy, but still edible.
One of us also had the monkfish with parma ham, clams and samphire for main, but because there was no monkfish that evening it was replaced with turbot without additional charges. The turbot was perfectly cooked — tender and succulent.
Beamer is a bit on the pricey side but the excellent customer service, fantastically fresh, local seafood as well as quayside view by the big window are well worth a visit.

Wow!
What perfectly cooked fish. I took my other half in here for her birthday.
The owner Simone took my booking weeks ago without realising that I had booked for a night she was shut. Instead of just being closed and spoiling our day, she opened especially. This tells you that she cares about her customers. She came out and had a chat, we even ended upin her kitchen! (which is immaculate)
The whole place is a professionally run business and we will return.
Thanks Simone.
