Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The standout feature at The Old Docks is the extensive menu, which surprises diners with its variety and quality. Many rave about the gluten-free options, including a separate menu that caters to dietary restrictions.

Customers often mention the fantastic cocktails—especially the Dockers Delight, which has become a local favorite. The portions are generous, ensuring diners feel full without breaking the bank.

Most Disliked

Some guests have noted the peak times can lead to a crowded atmosphere, especially on weekends. Reservations are advisable during these busy hours to ensure a table. A few reviews pointed out that during rush periods, service can slow down, and wait times may increase for food and drinks.

Additionally, while the menu is extensive, some diners wish for more unique vegetarian and vegan options, although the offerings already cater well to various diets.

Very nice restaurant, top service, super tasty food! They have a separate gluten free menu with a huge selection. A ceoliac's dream. Moderate prices, big portions. Absolute recommendation, especially for ppl in need of a gluten free diet.

We are there last night and we had two waitresses and were both wonderful. They both went out of their way to check allergens for me since I can't eat dairy or gluten and they had a separate gluten free menu as well. I don't have any reactions from my food and it was absolutely delicious!!!! Highly recommend it!

This was my first time in The Old Docks Bar and Grill, its a great place to go for a late lunch, I can highly recommend the burgers they are divine. The staff were very attentive even down to explaining the different types of beers that were available and as I wasn't driving that day it would have been rude to refuse a pint or two of their ale on tap. Great place, great atmosphere and decor, will definitely be back. Thanks folks..
