Absolutely the best place for Sunday lunch. Everyone was so welcoming. Certainly could do with a bigger place if New Year’s Eve was anything to go on. Definitely will be the top of our return list in the spring.

This is the second time I have been to Aby’s for a cooked breakfast. I suffer with anxiety and autism and find it difficult going out where there are people round. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and understanding and I felt comfortable there.

We had lunch at Aby’s. The welcome and the quality of the food is exceptional! We noted that regulars are treated almost like one of the family and newcomers with every hope that that they would soon become one. In short, the attitude of the management and team is exemplary. Any negative reviews are ridiculous to say the least and, OVERWHELMINGLY, out-numbered by those who clearly love this place. I commend the manager/owner for bravely standing up, with such compassion, in defending the good reputation and standards Aby’s strive for. It appears that most negative reviews are rooted in sour grapes because dogs aren’t allowed inside (though they are on the front terrace!!). By our calculations dogs are allowed in nine out of ten cafes and if dog lovers have no consideration for those who prefer not to sit eating food with dogs around their feet then it’s they who deserve the bad reviews. In short I suggest that they have some respect for those that do not like dogs and head off to the nine other cafes that do welcome them. Aby’s is now our ‘go to’ place for coffee and food, knowing that the experience will always be of the highest standard and, for us, dog free - I hope other cafes will follow your example!

Great service and good food.. We went for a Sunday buffet lunch which was very nice.

Nice location, friendly staff, though perhaps their internal signage needs altering. 'Please wait to be seated' seems to mean 'you can shoose any table'! Menus are on the table, but you order from the bar. I had the Ibizan lemon and pepper chicken and a bottle of lager. I was a bit suspicious as the 'Ibizan' was spelled wrong, but fine. It was more lemon and turmeric than lemon and pepper, but it was tasty anyway, and well cooked with a nice salad, green peas and oddly shaped chips, all well presented. Prices not unreasonable for a seafront location. I was happy with my lunch.

Excellent service. I’m gluten intolerant and all of the staff knew what i could have. Our table waiter offered to get me gf toast. Food good. Great atmosphere. Nice view.

This is a well located place to eat, right by the sea front. The food was generally good although my soup lacked seasoning. I had thought Aby’s was dog friendly, but you can’t take your dog indoors. We wanted to sit outside in the sunshine in any case, so it wasn’t a problem, but I’d like to point this out to readers.

Ordered the homemade cream of veg soup, very good and tasty, it warmed me up. Staff polite and attentive. There is a ramp st the entrance for easy wheelchair access.

Very friendly service. Great food. Great location on the seafront and perfect for our family gathering of 7. Great find
Visited for Sunday lunch. Aby’s was busy but we were seated quickly. We all had the carvery which generally was very good with ample meat. Only negative was the beef was fairly tough. Potatoes were excellent and the vegetables were ok although a little overcooked as seems always to be the case with a carvery. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The staff were all helpful and attentive.
