Visited The Dolphin by these reviews… On arrival, the place wasn’t overly busy. Arrived just after 4pm, Sunday lunch had already sold out. The child and ball’in chain opted for the homemade lasagna (£13). I took the homemade curry (£16). I was asked if I wanted chips or rice, chips this time with a side of onion rings( paid extra and Frozen (not fresh& homemade). Given some of the time on the special board, next to the sea and the price of the meals i.e fish dishes; I was expecting more than what we we got. We had to wait a while, a good 40mins and the bar manager( shirt & tie) did inform us that our meals won’t be long and are been plated up. So, the meal. The lasagne, arrived on smaller dish in dinner plate with a quite a fair size garlic bread and a bit of salad. Erm, no chip! You pay extra for them🙄. My curry, it had a nice hum to it and a few chips, 1 popadom. That’s was it. No finesse at all. The curry was ok, you could taste the curry powder and zero individual spices.Really was homemade and basic. The lasagne, both the girls said it was ok it even have the burnt edges around the side, on top.. So, the issue is .. the price for this. Certainly was worth what they are charging!!. We visited Taylay in St Ives ( Thai food), all freshly made and you could even identify all the different spices. It came with good size bowl of rice( variety of rice dishes to chose) which we had a few extra side too. Very nice indeed and would revisit. Bearing in the mind the location, sea front etc .. £70 plus drinks. Just no comparison at all with this meal at The Dolphin , yet £64 for lesser quality and quantity. I don’t recommend this place at all and would have opted to go Frazers chippie or The Navy Inn( rounds the corner). Plus, I’m glad I didn’t opt for the Fish dishes they had on the special board for fear of the price for one, plus the quantity and quality again. Well, you live and learn and wont be revisiting or promoting this place
