If you favour red gingham tablecloths, wooden chairs, and cosy interesting environments much more than the current trend for black leather, chrome chairs, and sterile decor, then this is definitely the place for you! We went to Memories following a personal recommendation and we had a relaxing memorable evening. You do need to book several weeks ahead as the owners... More

I have had the good fortune to eat here 10+ times. On every occasion without exception the food and service has been consistently brilliant. The food is simple and honest. I would especially recommend the fish as it is day boat fish and cooked perfectly every time. It is always a treat to eat here.

Many thanks Mark H for your review, It is always a pleasure to serve you as we know you really appreciate good fresh fish simply cooked. I'd only filleted the Turbot you enjoyed last night one hour before service. It was so nice when Hazel informed me that you said it was fantastic. Look forward to your next visit. Gordon... More

Unbelievable fresh fish, Turbot/Bass/Red Mullet, sole & plaice & more any how you like it. Plus Steaks with sauces that only they can make. Such a good welcome, such a lovely atmosphere, home from home with food you have never experienced. Starters - try the giant prawns with garlic or their home made fish cakes. Always specials on the black... More

I visited my favourite seaside town again - Babbacome - at the beginning of May and booked into Memories again a month prior to my visit. This visit again confirmed my choice of restaurant was the right one after trying several others in and around the area. The food and the hospitality from Gordon and Hazel were second to none....

My wife and I have eaten here on a few occasions and I feel compelled to let the cat out of the bag. On every visit the quality of the produce (fish or meat) and the wine has been excellent, couple that with the depth of flavour in any of the sauces on anything we have eaten and we cannot... More

We took our 4 year old daughter there recently following a recommendation by my parents who are regulars. She had venison pasta which she wolfed down, followed by lemon sole and a huge icecream. She ate the lot even though the portions are good and said she wanted to go there every day. My husband and I were equally pleased... More
