The Waterfront Restaurant as the name suggests enjoys uninterrupted views
of the river from its full width picture windows, and as befits a working
river there is always some activity to watch, be it an oil rig or cruise
ship making its way majestically up to the harbour or if you are lucky
enough, you may spot the school of dolphins which frequent the estuary
from May to September. On occasions up to 25 of them have been seen
frolicking no more than 100 meters from the shore.
The restaurant itself was designed to resemble the below deck area of a
sailing ship and a number of features from Captain Scott's RRS Discovery
have been adapted to suit. Heavy timber planking to the walls and ceilings
resembles the hull and deck underside while the use of heavy gauge brass
corner angles add to the maritime look.
Up to 36 diners can be accommodated at one time however the seating and
table arrangements are flexible so that large groups can be catered for.
Whenever possible produce is locally sourced and delivered daily, whilst
all food is cooked to order. The menu is changed every 2 weeks, however
there are normally a number of daily specials also.
