Over all it was good and the food was really delicious. The service was a little slow though and some things weren't available. The seafood roast is meant to come with Yorkshire puddings but nobody was given them due to a problem with the oven. This wasn't really a problem but nobody was told and we had to ask where they were. Instead I asked for 1 extra bread roll and was charged for it which I thought was a little unfair. The fish was lovely though and they were accommodating when I was a little late for my reservation. I would definitely recommend it!

This is a lively place with a great atmosphere. The team is really friendly and obviously enjoys looking after customers. They take real pride in their seafood, the oysters were excellent and the mussels really plump and satisfying. They made us mean cocktails too!

WE went on a Sunday, they do an incredible 'seafood roast'. Not a roast a tall but a beautiful seafood platter with all the usual roast trimmings. Good value for £25 we thought. We went in a big group with a vegetarian which was unwise but the chef rose the the challenge and whipped up something nice for her on spec which she really enjoyed. Nice service, nice environment, will go back for sure.

The atmosphere was great - good music and not too noisy and the staff were very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Drinks were good and well priced too. However, it was the food that let this place down. Starters were good - the soft shell crab starter was well done and langoustines were tasty although very small in size. But the mains were lacking flavour. I had the mussels with thai curry sauce. The mussels were plump but they were sat in what can only be described as thai curry flavoured water...not saucy at all and hardly any flavour - pretty bland and boring. My other half had the seafood linguine which was a massive portion of pasta mixed in with a smoky seafood sauce and some mussels placed on top. No prawns, squid, clams or chunks of fish which you would normally expect in a seafood linguine...it was a bit of a chore to eat and again, very boring. The place has potential with it's enthusiastic staff and ambiance but if the food is not up to scratch, I couldn't recommend this to a friend.

Had a table of 9 at the back. Very accommodating! Great atmosphere, food and service. Such a simple menu what can go wrong? Large plump mussels. Fresh oysters. Cold prosecco. Happy days!

first time when i went mussel men it wasn't so packed the serves was impeccable the food was so on point and i would of give an overall rating of 5 but this time i went there the place was packed and it seemed more like a bar than somewhere to eat, the serves was poor had two different waiters because the first one kept forgetting what the my table ordering the music felt like was in a rave and we order the food which i remember being so delicious the last time i was there, was nowhere near just top the night for me. maybe just an off night i hope.

We went on a Sunday which was a great experience. My boyfriends teenage girl loved every minute and particualry enjoyed the thumb wrestle at the end of the meal. We did think that the amazing chips would be a better accompaniment to the seafood platter instead of the Sunday roast veg. The atmosphere is great and the staff are always on had and extremely helpful. Its a fanatstic place to spend the evening and I would thouroughly recommed it to anyone who loves a good time and fabulously fresh seafood cooked to perfection.

After reading a review about Mussel men it sounded like the perfect place to take my girlfriend who absolutely loves mussels. We were both not disappointed. The food was cooked to perfection my girlfriend demolished her generous bowel of mussels in a thai curry sauce and I may now be an oyster convert! No faults whatsoever. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive and contributed to a great evening. This is a place that I plan to visit time and again. The cocktails too were amazing. Congrats to the team at Mussel men.

Whilst the food was excellent, and well priced, dont expect any kind of service you would ever expect as standard in a restaurant. Water at your table? Nah. Cutlery? Forget about about it. Drinks you ordered 20 minutes ago? Best ask again to be sure. But if you can put up with all of that the food is very, very good and cheap too. Still, no excuse for the poor service which is made all the more shameful as the staff were very nice just not very well trained.

Nice venue, very friendly staff, poor over-priced food. Lobster was not well cooked and way too small for the price. £28 for one tail and just the one claw, so shared between two your looking at £14 for what amounts to a large underwhelming prawn. Oysters were nice but a gin dressing which sounded intriguing on paper was unpleasant in practice. Was so hungry when I left I seriously considered a kebab, but settled for a chicken sandwich at home. Nice wine, nice chips, nice staff, and that's all.
