Loch Fyne Oyster Bar

Had a very good meal here last week but let down by very slow service

We booked a table, but were still given a table in the overflow area near the bar, despite asking for one of the booths in the restaurant. The wall we were up against was splattered with grease. The waiter seemed very new and spilt our wine on the table. Then, our starters were sent out at different times, so we waited at least 5 mins for them after other members of the table had theirs before flagging the waiter down — who then found the final starter and sulkily told us that «it was ready». The women’s toilets were filthy and smelt absolutely vile. Our mains didn’t come with a finger bowl (king prawns in shells), and we had to flag a waiter down to get a spoon for the chowder. When it came to paying, the waiter was sulky and obnoxious at the tip. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Called in for lunch on a Tuesday. We were seated very quickly. We chose Moules Mariniere and Salmon with asparagus as our main courses. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. The only negatives were, that the décor was tired and scruffy (could easily be fixed) and the price of a small glass of apple juice at £2.50!

Fish and seafood is the catch of the day at Loch Fyne.
Located just outside Peterborough in Elton, this restaurant is situated in an old farm dairy.
The first thing that strikes you when you enter is the reception area. To the left is s small shop selling fish, seafood and condiments. To the right and behind the reception is where the diners’ tables are.
The menu is varied in the seafood/​fish choices, though some are dependent on the catch of the day. I have been here on several occasions and have generally been satisfied with the food I am served. The service has always been good and beer, wine or soft drinks are available.
The staff tend to be young so sometimes they can be caught out by your questsions, but they are also enthusiastic.
Overall a competent fish restaurant without pretensions in a lovely rural building.
