; Railway Pier; mains £11-20; lunch & dinner; )
Housed on the top floor of a converted seamen's mission, the Waterfront's stylish, unfussy
decor in burgundy and brown, with dark wooden furniture, does little to distract from the
superb seafood freshly landed at the quay just a few metres away. The menu ranges from
classic haddock and chips to fresh oysters, scallops and langoustines.
The lunch and early-evening menu (5.30pm to 6.45pm) offers two courses for £10. Best
to book for dinner.
