The 8-course sampler menu was truly exceptional, boasting perfectly prepared meals that had an abundance of fresh fish and seafood. It was thoughtfully adjusted for certain food allergies as well. I am eagerly awaiting my return visit!

This eatery is simply spectacular. Each item on our sampler platter surpassed any expectations of greatness. Not only were they gorgeously designed and served, but they were also absolutely sumptuous and extraordinary. The choice of wines and the customer service were also commendable. I couldn't possibly endorse this place more strongly.

"Catch Weymouth
Absolutely Mind-Blowing!
This was such an exceptional experience! Luckily, we were able to secure a table at CATCH Weymouth on the 11th of September. Although I unintentionally confused the timing - we were scheduled for a 6pm four-course tasting meal and we accidentally arrived at 6:45, the staff was incredibly patient and accommodating. They managed to set us up with a 7pm reservation for the six-course evening tasting menu. Their understanding was greatly appreciated.
This gastronomic journey proved to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was simply unparalleled. The artisans behind the magic, Chef Mike Naidoo and his efficient team behind the scenes, masterminded a tasting menu that exceeded all expectations. Every dish created was a masterpiece, ushered to the table by the front-of-house staff, followed closely by Chef Mike himself, who personally gave us a detailed walkthrough of how each savory creation was masterfully crafted, explaining each cooking step and ingredient used. For us, getting a peek into the creative process, alongside relishing the heavenly flavours, made the chef's table-side visit an incredibly surreal part of the evening. Inviting a genius and revered chef like him to our table was the icing on the cake.
Our heartfelt thanks to the chef for making this unforgettable and enlightening culinary adventure possible, thus taking us to new heights in culinary brilliance.
A big, warm thank you!
Andy and Miles"

I'm astounded that this place hasn't been awarded a Michelin star yet. Currently, it's an absolute bargain for the quality of food you get. The seafood is unbelievably fresh and all of their dishes are top-notch. The standout being the cuttlefish, even so, the beetroot relish that comes with the additional cheese course is exceptional.
Furthermore, their wine selection deserves commendation; the English Sparkling Rose, Tokaij, and English apple brandy were not just excellent but also great value. I'll certainly be looking to purchase these for my own consumption. Avail of this wonderful dining experience as much as possible.

Our reservation had been made for 6pm and we showed up 20 minutes ahead of time, with the idea of enjoying a pre-dinner drink. But the restaurant had not opened its doors just yet, as they were in the middle of a team meeting.
As we went in at 6:10pm, only one other table had been filled. We observed how intelligently they coordinated the seating arrangement to alleviate the workload in the kitchen.
Once we were settled, the entire dining experience was delightful. We were positioned perfectly to observe the kitchen activity; it was exhilarating to watch the seamless coordination and the process of dish preparation.
Our selections were from their tasting menu complemented by their wine flight. It was admirable to see the dedication to local sourcing of ingredients - they even mention details of the fishing boats involved!
The bright spots in the menu for us were the delectable cheeses and the unique, house-produced honey. The octopus dish was simply outstanding.
The staff were pleasant and accommodating, no task seemed too big. We savored every moment of our evening and wouldn't hesitate to give it a glowing endorsement.
