Third time been and it continues to be excellent. Food beautiful staff very attentive. Can’t fault at all.

Visited on the 12/4/25, family get-together. The reason I chose the harbour lights was that I had visited the venue in the past and wasn't disappointed. I can say exactly the same thing on my latest visit, staff attentive, food was fantastic and the place was lovely and clean, highly recommend will certainly be back.

Regular jaunt for our little group. Have never been disappointed with the great quality of food and the service provided by very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thoroughly recommend the Harbour Lights for a night out and a great meal.

Had a fabulous meal at Harbour Lights. It was recommended and didn't disappoint. Food was delicious and the atmosphere fantastic. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Banter added to enjoyment. Totally enjoyable and relaxing evening. Definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back!

We came to remember daddy on his birthday, he loved this place. We had great food in a great place with happy memories.

Four ladies who like to lunch. The food was fab. Steak was perfectly cooked, salmon superb and fish and chips were great. Service was good, staff so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Altogether a lovely afternoon.

A fabulous meal for 3 on Sunday, food was great and service impeccable. Thank you to the staff member who managed to provide us with a dog-friendly table, I booked without making them aware as I didn't know. But even with a full house they managed to accommodate which was a real relief and a show of patience and exceptional service from the lady behind the bar. Would highly recommend to all.

Great food friendly staff and good value for money would definitely recommend

Lovely meal little wait but well worth it lovely pub with friendly well mannered staff and nice atmosphere will definitely be back

Another excellent Steak Night at The Harbour Lights where the Steaks were cooked to perfection. It is always a pleasure to dine here as the food selection is not only extensive but well prepared, presented and good value for money. Service is exceptional and always delivered with a smile by friendly staff. Looking forward to my visit in the not too distant future.

Amazing, tasty, home cooked food and very generous portions. It’s a breath of fresh air to have one dairy free desert available, never mind the 3 they could provide. Servers were very knowledgeable with allergies/intolerances, and were very happy to substitute items as part of my meal, that I was unable to have. Can’t recommend this place enough if you want a nice home cooked meal.

Midweek visit with friends for tea. Lovely friendly staff,comfortable pub with great view over the mouth of the river out to sea. Food was delicious- proper chips make all the difference .My friend had the steak and ale pie, big chunks of tender steak in a lovely short crust pastry and I opted for the chinese curry with rice and chips both really tasty.Good selection on the menu and the specials board. We even managed deserts- just- and they were gorgeous.

Quick Attentive Service. Great Tasting Food, Hot and Very Good Portions. Staff Friendly and Easy to Talk to. Have Recommended The Harbour Lights to Friends and Family.
