    Demetris has a terrible location hidden down a backstreet behind the nightclubs, don't let that put you off.

    Yes, I've been to the cafe by the boatyard - nice little campsite there too.

    Do you know about the Captain's Table? Looks a bit shabby but had a reputation for good seafood at one time. Don't know what it's like now but checks out quite well on Trip Advisor.

    There's a very good Posh Kebab shop (Boutanic BBQ) opposite the playhouse, by 'posh' I mean you can sit down and they serve beer!

    The Thai by the playhouse is quite good, but not been in there for a year or so.

    My favourite is this place: restaurants weston super mare | greek restaurants weston super mare | greek food weston Also if you're cycling check out the little cafe in Uphill boat yard.

    I'm guessing the people who are putting the place down haven't visited in a while, it's not everyone's cup of tea but the beach and proximity to countryside works well for us.

    The area around the old pier (that the OP mentioned) is looking a bit shabby mind, the old pier hotel burnt down and the old pier itself looks destined for the bottom of the sea any day now!

    Bleadon, Uphill, Sand Bay, the best pier in the world - what's not to like?

    I do admit though I am a bit of a sucker for traditional seaside entertainments. Especially amusement arcades. I can't walk past a penny waterfall without going to the booth for a few quid's worth of 2 pence pieces.

    Top end of the sea front by the old pier is really nice. Then there's a very pleasant coast road that goes round to Kewstoke - wife and I often take our bikes and cycle round there.

    started a topic Weston Recommendations

    Weston Recommendations

    Going over to Weston (Sand Bay) for a couple of nights with the missus next week.

    I know there are a couple of westoners on here so I thought I'd enquire as to whether anyone could recommend anywhere half decent to eat out? Doesn't have to be haute cuisine - could be a pub - just want somewhere on the sea front with a decent atmos. Maybe somewhere that does good local fresh seafood? I hear the Captain's Table isn't bad?
