    We ate here on a recommendation for breakfast and were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. Nicely located on the beach too.

    A hidden gem on the beachfront. This cozy, calm, and comfortable restaurant offers the perfect indoor dining experience with nice lighting, decor and seating. It features really nice, inviting, clean, well cared for tables that are beautifully designed and fit the mood. My favourite part was the old themed memes on the walls which allowed for fantastic conversation starters. We found the menu to be of perfect size with plenty of choices for seafood lovers, or not (lots of other choices) and was surprised to hear they have their own butchers/ fishmongers/ shop on the other side of the restaurant, so knew the food was fresh and well cooked. The service was fantastic, very polite staff and each and every one of them was busy with something- clearly working very hard and care lots for this establishment. Really fair and reasonable pricess too. I would say the portions were of a good size, but wished the lobster was bigger, otherwise think this restaurant is a good find. They also had loads of outside seating on the beachfront. Parking on the road just down from the restaurant, clean toilets, good disabled entrance, family friendly or great for any occasion with others.

    Called in for a late breakfast, it's a very popular place with locals, despite being busy we were served in a reasonable time, food was hot and better than average quality. Seemed a bit odd paying up front, but all was good and the service great.

    Great location. Great service. Great breakfast. We stopped here for breakfast on our first day on holiday and what can I say it was really nice. The location of the Lazy Shack and especially its outdoor seating area are right on the beach with an unspoiled view across the sea. Dog and family friendly. We ordered our meals at the tables when the friendly waitress came over and got everything perfect for us. Reasonable prices for delicious food. We liked everything about the Lazy Shack and definitely recommend it. They don’t have a car park but you can park on the street at the sea front.
