Lucky to get a table on the last day of their season. Far earlier than we would choose to eat but so glad we did, especially as it was such a beautiful day to sit outside. Exceptionally warm and friendly welcome and service. We chose fish and chips and the fish stew. Chips were outstanding and the fish flavoursome with a very delicate batter. The fish stew was outrageously good and I probably bored my partner rigid with saying so after every mouthful. Would happily drive the 4 hours to experience Rachel’s again.

Great for a quick bite to eat after a long walk. Had the mussels - well prepared, fresh and flavoursome sauce. The Salt & pepper squid was very nice too.

I was expecting quality seafood. I had crab salad, whilst my partner had fisherman’s trio (crab, prawns and mackerel pate). Both came with salad. My goodness, I was expecting good quality seafood, but the salads were just perfect too. Fresh, crispy, perfectly seasoned and a perfect balance to the seafood. The chips and bread were good too. We had a table booked for noon and were glad that we did have. All tables were taken. I’m very glad that we didn’t miss out.

The best place to eat and drink around westbay harbour. Never had a bad experience. Vist time and again every time we holiday in westbay.

Very good food - fish soup and seafood platter at reasonable prices. Seating is on benches right by the harbour. The only problem is that they close too early.

I went to this place after reading reviews on Google when we were on holiday. It was amazing food, we had a fish and chips and a fish finger sandwich and it was amazing. The fish finger sandwich was not what we were expecting, it was proper fresh fish in a light batter. Was delicious and I saw all the other seafood options being made up like the mussels and lobster and it looked amazing. Right by the harbour too, I think you have to reserve a table however the hut next door to them was shut so we sat on those benches to eat. It was very busy and that's because the food is amazing. Definitely highly recommend.

It was OK and not worthy of complaint but to be honest, I was expecting better given they're the no. 1 ranked fish restaurant in Dorset. We had much better fish and chips in Mevagissey the day before. Rachel's chips are just standard frozen fare and the cod was small and slightly undercooked. Tbh I was hoping there would be some plain and simple grilled fish on the menu. The fish and chips from next door looked lovely typically, nice and thick piece of cod. The chowder was nice and had a good amount of haddock in it.

Lucky enough to have found this little shack near the beach and what a find!! Ate here twice. The fish and chips are the best I have ever tasted and the Smoked Haddock Chowder is AMAZING!!!!! Well done all at Rachel’s for serving up such delicious food ?

A bit disappointed with the chowder. A lot of leek & potatoes. Might be good but didn’t work for me. The tempura prawns & salad with it were good.
