The Dock Café Brunel Way, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 3EF

"Our greeting, after asking for a table for three, was "you're making life difficult for me". I would advise that if you can't manage a pleasant greeting then best not say anything and if you don't like dealing with the public take another career path. Had I not been in company I would have left. Our food order was taken by a friendly waitress and duly arrived. One of the eggs on my plate was cooked as I would expect, but the other was overcooked with a hard yolk, although obviously still edible. This must be one of the skills chefs are taught, how to cook eggs differently in the same pan. Either that, or one was cooked previously... Although, in fairness, I wasn't asked how I would like the eggs cooked and perhaps they serve one of each to be on the safe side. Other than that, pretty standard fare. We were asked if we would like another drink and asked for two teas and a flat white coffee, we received one tea and two lattes. I've used the Dock on several occasions in the past without issue, hence our return visit today. After today's experience though, particularly the reception, I'll not be back."

"Went here for a business lunch. Staff very welcoming and friendly. I had a salad which was large and filling my colleague fish and chips which looked lovely. Had a seat next to the front window which was stunning. No issues at all and really good quality. Will certainly return it back in Plymouth"

"Brilliant service from Olivia, and not only was the food amazing but there was so many vegetarian options for my partner as well as incredible fish and meat options for myself. Even though it was raining the view of the harbour was still lovely."

"Great food in a great setting. The cappuccinos are the creamiest I’ve ever had, the brunch generous and perfectly cooked. I have visited this place several times and the quality has been consistent each time. On my last visit, a friend asked if it would be possible to have fried bread instead of mushrooms and was told that this would be fine. The fried bread came out absolutely perfect, dark gold, fairly crispy but neither too dry, nor too oily. I thought that this was pretty impressive considering also that this was not on the menu. We didn’t need the desert, but did it anyway and, along with another drink, that was all we could manage. We spent a while walking around looking at the multi million pound Princess yachts in the harbour to walk off our excesses. Would recommend this place, particularly for eating outside on a nice day. It’s tucked away and you wouldn’t expect it to be there, but once you’re in, it’s like another world. Very nice."
