"I myself and four friends booked a twighlight spa package that includes a two course dinner and glass fizz for Friday afternoon / evening. the spa is beautiful, although the dressing rooms are slightly dense for the room. after our treatment, which was excellent, but sad too short, we then moved to the hearthouse for cocktails and dinners that were wonderful! then we went back to my friend holiday home along the beach that our car in the hotel for the night we had preordered for the pickup the next day. one of the girls realized that they had left their jacket in the hotel after we had picked up the car the next day, so we decided to book Sunday dinner in the restaurant as we were so impressed, but when we arrived for our 12.00 table, it was not finished (our mistake was completely as we were five minutes early) the lady/maitre d was with us huge grumpy and very grumpy to go with us. we never saw the dame again (thanks quality) a beautiful young chap saw us sitting in the lounge and came by with menus, then brought us through our table. the menu was almost the same as the Friday night menu apart from adding a few frying options. our appetizers were excellent, but unfortunately the frying was very disappointing, the gravur was extremely watery and the meal total was bland. the reason why I didn't evaluate a total of five stars was because of our Sunday lunch experience. we will use the spa again!"

"Second disappointing visit since moving to Climping. Having been shown to our pre-booked table we had to wait nearly 20 minutes for service and that was after approaching two serving staff and eventually having to leave my table to seek the lady that showed us to the table in the first place, having watched other dinners come well after us but get served first. Finally service arrived and drinks were brought to our table and we ordered our meals, the starters arrived fairly promptly and were reasonable. Our main meals arrived after another protracted wait, and to say I was disappointed in what was presented would be an understatement. The alleged 28 day aged rib if beef would appear to have been aged for much longer, it was tough and over-cooked, not withstanding the two tiny slices that were but on the plate. To be fair, the roast potatoes and the Guinness were fine, and our waitress apologized and said she would pass on my disappointment and comments. The manager who was floating around did not afford me the courtesy of his presence or any form of discount for the poor service and the wait and the rubbish roast beef. Second and last poor service visit to the Oyster Catcher, there are plenty of other food establishments like the superb lobster pot in Felpham which we can go to. Thanks but no thanks the oyster catcher, 2 strikes and you are out I'm afraid."
