Sheldrakes

When walking up to Sheldrakes you'd be forgiven for being apprehensive about what you'd booked for as the marshland around it can look desolate and in need of a revamp HOWEVER if you let that put you off you will have really missed out. The owners can't control the area but what they can control is the restaurant and they do a cracking job of it. The attention to detail from the very attentive staff, the ambience of the restaurant, the amazing views and the fabulous food all make it a lovely evening! It has a real feel of a holiday taverna and makes you feel like you've had a real break from the norm. Lovely place! The owners and staff deserve a real pat on the back!!

Fantastic food. Well presented, good portions, excellent quality. All with some idyllic scenery across the Dee Estuary.
Not quite a 5 star review due to service.
You get the impression the staff are all new. No one directing them. It's very hit and miss if you manage to get anyone's attention at your table. They are missing a significant amount of extra income due to this.
We weren't asked about drinks, deserts, coffees etc and it was easily 40mins after we'd finished eating before finally managing to get someone's attention for a bill. Not all of this time was spent waiting, but it was perfect time to upsell those extras mentioned above.

Is not a chance to see the funny side. Like the chef said regarding the note ..From a restaurant that they respect their clients! I understand everybody have good and bad days. But is unacceptable to order to coffee.. Receive them after. 10 minutes.and after Somebody to bring the table cloth for the table.. No spoons.. No sugar no salt.. Place is dirty unfortunately.. After 4 months or how long it was closed..(during covid pandemic) Now. Should be immaculate.. But is not!! And that's very disappointing and definitely never recommend it for. Our local community!! Food. Was uncooked (paella) u can see. From the picture the rice is raw (even not al dente) years ago was so delicious but now doesn't worth anymore! Looks good but taste is totally different

Fantastic Dining Experience.

Lovely food with a lovely view of the shore 😁

I've just had my wedding at Sheldrakes, upstairs and it was amazing. An incredible setting, relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious. All staff worked hard to make sure everything was in order. I highly recommend Sheldrakes.

We booked for a group of 30 for my mums 60th birthday. We were given an area upstairs that was stunning with great views. Food was fantastic and friendly service! Would definitely recommend!

Sorry for the late review. This was in May of this year. Had a great lunch until it came time to leave. On the way out, was asked twice by the manager if we had paid. Second time I actually showed her the payment receipt! Made us feel we were leaving without having paid! So much for a nice experience!!

The staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was delicious, we had two courses and struggled to get through dessert and the portion sizes were big. I highly recommend visiting this place and would go again! I didn’t catch the name of the two gentlemen working on Monday 21st June but they were great and did an amazing job!
