Bowlplex

(01273 818180)

bowlplex.jpg (7619 bytes) The Bowlplex has a "Bar and Grill" serving burgers, fries, and things in baskets.  Convenient if you're there bowling but, otherwise, go to McDonalds next door.
The Brasserie

(01273 818026)

brasseri.jpg (10083 bytes) A high-quality, high-priced Italian restaurant in the Village Square.  Good for special occasions and first-class service.  At weekends they try to organise two sittings so we felt rushed when we went at 7:30 pm but now under new management, I believe, so may be different.
Brasserie Fish

(01273 698989)

High-priced fish restaurant in a nice position on the Waterfront promenade.  Good food, good service.

Lloyds No1 Bar & Grill

(01273 675365)

jackson.jpg (9424 bytes) Now under JD Weatherspoon's trendy label: Lloyds No 1.  Menu looks much the same as other venues on the Marina.  "Note your table number and order at the bar" style of service.  Good value, though. Ask for the "Lunch at Lloyds" menu if it's not out on the tables.
The Katarina

(01273 606268)

katarina.jpg (7215 bytes) Re-opening on 20th March as a Harvester.  Do they still ask the patronising question: "Have you been to a Harvester before?"

(01273 670634)

mariner.jpg (10361 bytes) A Carvery and pub overlooking the inner harbour by the Village Square.  Currently closed.  What's happening?

The David Lloyd Club

(01273 666401)

lloyd.jpg (8372 bytes) The David Lloyd club has a snack bar that, I believe, is open to all, but we've not tried it.
Bella Napoli

(01273 818577)

napoli.jpg (9111 bytes) The Bella Napoli Italian restaurant is a mid-priced pizza restaurant, but the menu does not stop at pizzas and pasta.  Good, busy atmosphere.
The Pagoda

(01273 819053)

Hotel Seattle Saloon

(01273 679799)

saloon.jpg (12016 bytes) A pleasant place to drink coffee or alcohol, relax and eat snacks. Hotel prices apply.
M.A Potters
CLOSED

 

mapotters.jpg (5509 bytes) Another place that polarises opinion.  The prices mount up but probably no more than you expect these days. Now closed, re-opening as La Strada in December
Memories of India

(01273 600088)

indian.jpg (4973 bytes) Excellent Indian food at slightly high prices was spoiled for us by very poor service the first time we tried.   Next time was a bit better and has subsequently improved to "very prompt".
Frankie & Benny's

(01273 688450)

 

frankiebennys.jpg (6750 bytes) An American style diner as advertised. 1950's music. Good for the kids if you can prise them away from McDonalds

Emperor of China

(01273 686833)

chinese.jpg (5385 bytes) Excellent service. Extensive menu of good food. Too large to have much atmosphere.
Karma

(01273 818000)

karma.jpg (10199 bytes) A "Venue", bar and restaurant.  The menu is interesting with several oriental specialities.  No food after 8pm
Breakwater Cafe breakwater.jpg (7589 bytes) Pleasant tea bar at the eastern end of the sea wall
El Patio

CLOSED

elpatio.jpg (7056 bytes) Tapas bar and restaurant.  The cost of the dishes adds up quickly if you're hungry, but it's all good stuff. Now closed and re-opening as Zizzi's in early 2008
Cafe Rouge Good ambience and fair prices.  If you're familiar with the chain, you'll know what to expect.
Chimichanga

(01273 680582)

OK spicy Mexican food.  Has this closed or is it being refitted?
Zingarella Patisserie, Cafeteria and Gelateria.  A fattening but beautiful selection of cakes and pastries.  Pricey but very popular so they can't have got it too wrong.
