Loch Fyne Restaurants in general

Loch Fyne is a nationwide chain of seafood restaurants, originally from Scotland it has become an institution in the UK. We recently visited the venue in Chelmsford for an evening and found it to be one of the better restaurants in town. Apparently the restaurant originated from a fresh fish stall on the banks of Loch Fyne and it follows the ethics of freshness and sustainability. There are 47 branches throughout the Uk and as you would expect they serve fresh seafood. The design of the restaurant is fairly simple with nice wooden tables and chairs and bland decoration, the place is fairly large and is definitely a nice place to come for a night ...  Read the complete review

I love fish! Lets get that out of the way to start with. Seafood is a great love of mine so Loch Fyne was an obvious choice when looking to book a meal. I had been before many years ago and just remembered how good it was, but wanted to go again. As my girlfriend had never been before, i booked a table for a Friday night at the Leeds restaurant and away we went. As soon as we arrived, the staff were pleasant and helpful and got us seated at our table quickly. Its worth pointing out that the Loch Fyne in Leeds is a fantastic place to sit and eat. The restaurant is located in the Old Post Office building at the big square opposite Leeds Train station ...  Read the complete review

I have eaten at Loch Fyne restaurants in Farnham, Guildford, Ascot, Beaconsfield, St Albans and possibly somewhere else. They have all been similarly decorated in a fairly rustic fashion with wooden tables and chairs, slate floors and I think all have had an impressive ice filled fresh seafood display centrally situated which looks like a fishmongers counter - although I have no idea if you can buy fresh fish to take away from Loch Fyne, I don't think so though. The menu is almost entirely fish based and it probably isn't worth visiting if you don't eat seafood and fish. The menu is fairly extensive but there are usually at least 4 starters and 5 or so ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a fish eater at all - i can't even stomach fish fingers - but my girlfriend loves fish and loves to eat regularly at Loch Fyne. Luckily they do cater for meat eaters too and when i first went i have sausages with mash and gravy which were delicious although they were about £!1 which is pretty steep for sausages. After i returned after this i then tried the steak (which hadn't been available the time beforehand). This again was really good although you have to add any side orders as it does not come with anything. This bumped the price up to about £22 which is quite a lot for one meal. I haven't been back for a while although my girlfriend ...  Read the complete review

I have been to Loch Fyne a number of times - mainly to the one in Chelmsford but once also to the one in Bluewater. I have had varied experiences and despite two terrible ones i would say this is one of my favourite restaurants. Loch Fyne started with one restaurant in Scotland on the banks of the Loch Fyne and although i have never visited, my dad has and assures me it's very picturesque! They aim to make sure all their fish meets their high standards as well as maintaning their ethics choosing the most environmentally friendly ways to source their fish. You can even order fish directly from them to your home if you want to impress friends at ...  Read the complete review
