This place has the most beautiful view from the patio of the boats and peninsula. We ordered the cod and chips 1 piece. Should've ordered the 2 piece. The fish pieces were very very small. We had the chicken pot pie as well. The chicken potpie was overflowing comfort food. Very delicious. The appetizer we chose was the seafood chowder. Save your money here. The chowder was disappointing. Drinks were cold and wet and service was good for the most part. They were clear the moment you walk in the door that they were having staff shortage issues which would make your food take long to arrive. We didn't find the food took too long but we had to ask for our appetizer of chowder to show up after we were already eating our meal. We ended up wishing we had passed on it because it was nothing to write home about it. I still recommend coming here. The view alone was worth it but the cod and chips and chicken pot pie especially brought this meal home. Thanks Grasshopper!
The food at the grasshopper pub was great. Really good Yorkshire pudding and a decent tap beer selection. Worth a visit
We did not stay at the hotel but stopped by the grasshopper pub on Friday the 13th. Our waitress was amazing, the food was delish! It was hard to pick something because everything sounded so good. The scenery was breathtaking. Well worth the drive. Thank-you for a lovely time.
It's one of our favorite places to stay. The views are unmatched. Super comfortable cabins with hot tubs on the patio. They were able to accommodate our last minute booking after our air b and b fell through. Great space
Dinner with an incredible view. Hostess was super nice and did a great job keeping our water full, table settings perfect. Nice menu! Great options for all dietary needs. Seafood pasta was tasty, coconut prawns delicious, chocolate dessert…great finish.
Went to the Grasshopper Pub. Beautiful view and good food. Casual atmosphere. Friendly staff
The grasshopper pub was awesome! Spectacular view, great food and great service.
Just had lunch with my wife at the Grasshopper Pub. We were lucky enough to be serviced by the Manager. Super nice guy and great service. The patio with view of the water was very nice. The fish and chips for me and salad for my wife were terrific, very fresh with very large portions. I'd highly recommend the Grasshopper Pub, we'll definitely be back!
