Clipper Restaurant The

Ktcrunch

This restaurant looks OK from the outside but is hugely overpriced and the food is appalling. It has a huge menu with about 100 different choices on it (this should have set alarm bells ringing!) which can't possibly be freshly prepared. Most of it must be microwaved. We went for the 'freshly grilled fish' option (at about £20 per head). I should have noted that the menu was careful not to state 'fresh fish'. When it arrived it was overcooked, had been allowed to go cold and was quite rubbery in texture. The fish was served with chips which were OK but we had to buy vegetables separately as a side order (for £4.00). We were presented with a few bits of old (slightly brown) looking cauliflower, inedible and limp brocolli with carrots which were completely tasteless (I think these came from a tin). The staff at least had the good grace to take these off the bill when we complained. They also charge £1.50 for a childs blackcurrant squash and £5 for a bottle of water. On the menu, it is made clear that none of the items contain GM products. However, I think the management of this restaurant should be more worried about the fact that they are serving virtually inedible food that would be overpriced at half the amount we paid. This is a restaurant pretending to be something it's not. One to avoid.....

Not a good restaurant and cannot be recommended. We had a meal here in mid September 2008 and were served with a very poor meal, for which we were overcharged. The food is supposed to be home cooked but it was obvious that it had been purchased from a supermarket and served on a plate. Very disappointing.

The food in this restaurant is badly cooked, and over priced, and the service was terrible. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Typical tourist trap restaurant, overpriced and poor quality. We visited this summer for the first time, and although regularly holiday in the area we will never return to the Clipper. The fish pie was expensive, didn't appear to contain anything resembling fish, and the portion size was small, served with a pathetic excuse for a side salad. The drinks were expensive and served in small tumblers. I can only assume they can stay in business due to the large number of unsuspecting tourists they must have as customers. Steer clear of this one !
