Despite the many positives, some guests highlight limitations in availability during peak hours, especially on Sundays when the restaurant can reach full capacity. This can lead to waiting times or the need for reservations, which should be kept in mind if you're planning a visit. A few diners have mentioned desired menu items being sold out, particularly the lasagne, indicating its popularity among regulars. Additionally, while most dishes shine, there are mentions of portion sizes in relation to sides—some feel that more vegetables would balance the mains better. Overall, while minor, these points suggest areas for refinement.
Popped in for Sunday lunch, they were fully booked but the owner was super friendly and accommodating allowing us to have the roast out on the covered patio which offers fantastic views of WSM. Food was really good and attentive service, would definitely return. Historical photo for interest!
A perfect place for some fine food and service. We came for a long walk along the prom and found this place tucked away on the end. Once in, you are hooked. On our visit yesterda, we tried the Fish Finger sandwich, which was more than enough to share. The homemade tartar sauce was incredible. Today we came back (we saw the lunch menu being prepped the day before) Sitting at tge back with a view over the sea, we had the Faggots with Mash & Cabbage n Bacon. The Guinness Pie with a lovely flaky top. Both meals were exceptional and In the 2 for £20 deal, which for the portion and taste, were under valued. The service was attentive when needed, but were left to just soak up the time and the atmosphere. There is work being done on the outside area, which we feel will be outstanding after talking to the owner. If you want some great food at a great price with a fantastic atmosphere, then walk away from the town to this place. First time in Weston and will not be our last.
Found this place by accident while walking to see the old pier at Biernbeck. What a wonderful spot ! We sat at the outside bar bar looking over Weston beach and the Severn. Ordered food wife had sea bass friend had fish and chips and I was going to have lasagne but ran out. Got to get in early for that one. Anyway second option captain's burger 🍔 but that really did not disappoint huge hand made beef patty proper thick bacon onion perfectly cooked chips. Got to say maybe one of the best burgers I've had. Sea bass wife said was amazing cooked to perfection. Only thing she did mention it comes on a bed of potatoes too many for her maybe bit more veg. But still amazing. Fish and chips also amazing. Good selection or beers and wines. Staff super friendly sorry didn't get bar person's name. Had a really nice chilled couple of hours here thanks all 😁👍
Amazing place my grandkids wanted to give them a trillion stats but five will have to do, food out 9f this world, service outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, deffo going back xx
Had an amazing time here, food was incredible and Shanky's Whip behind the bar. Which, unlike the other places in Weston that serve Shanky's they have made a little cocktail menu using it. The Shanky's espresso martini is to die for! And the Irish Mule was really good too. We had several of all 3 options Food was too good to stop and snap a photo of, but highly recommend the pork belly starter and the brisket lasagne. The garlic bread is bizarrely fantastic as well, not sure what they do to it to make it that good!
Sam and the team are amazing, my kids are hard to please but this place has them so content and the food was more then 5 star I’m so happy I found this little secret it’s a must go to place when visiting Weston.
This was our first visit to Captains Cabin in a very long time, and we left the venue at the end of the evening agreeing we would definitely be back again soon. For anyone who has never been to the venue, from the outside you may think it is fairly small, but in true Tardis fashion once you walk through the main door the venue continuously opens up to bigger and bigger areas. On arrival you walk into a really nice-looking bar area with a pool table, with plenty of seats. The venue has a wide selection of beers, ales, wines and spirits and we were welcomed by a friendly lady behind the bar. After purchasing our drinks, we walked through the restaurant area before walking downstairs into an outside sun terrace. The sun terrace was big and has an amazing view across to Wales, the North Devon coast, Weston, and its surrounding areas. On an evening, the sunsets really are amazing and seeing is believing. There is also a well-stocked bar in the sun terrace so you can buy your drinks from here as well. After a drink we then decided it was time to proceed to the restaurant which was our main purpose for our visit. We were welcomed by a friendly gentleman who went through the menu with us. We decided to have Panko Whitebait and a Scotch Egg for our starters, both were massive portions and tasted perfectly. For our mains we had a Cider battered cod, pressed peas, curry sauce and chips and a Peri-Peri Chicken with salad and chips, again both portions were massive, and both dishes were perfect. Sadly, as all the portions were so large we didn’t have room for one of the tasty desserts on the menu. We returned to the bar area where we got chatting with both staff and a were made to feel really welcome. We would both highly recommend a visit to Captains Cabin, if not for the amazing food, for the amazing views from the outside sun terrace instead.
