Wow!! We have been twice to Pump House this September week, and no complaint. Our waitress (I wish I could remember her name) is so nice and soft spoken. Our fishbowls , was proper fishbowls - for that price we got more than we bargained for! Delicious. And my prawn curry was delicious, amazing, tasty! Props - cause this only place we have been with quality this week

Amazing staff. Amazing drinks and amazing food. This bar has a great atmosphere and the drinks & food don’t cost an arm and a leg. Highly recommend this bar for a nice meal with your family or even a nice day drinking session with friends.

The food Is out of this world. The prices are so good and the staff is amazing. The video is very relaxed and not over the top. Recommendation to the food is the cheesy bacon fries. The view over the sea is beautiful. Don't expect a fancy beach restaurant, this place is all about food and good company. Amazing …

A restaurant we pasted daily and we stayed at Beau Visfa -11 days.Food was great.Service took way too long and the bill quick.Doggy friendly and even gave my Jack Russell water without me asking.Toilets are really so beautiful unseen till now. I even took pictures. For out of season the restaurant was full. Definitely highly recommended. Sharon, Alfonso and Charlie Brown our Jack Russell.
