What BeeS x likes about The View:
The cafe bar is very clean and well situated in the harbour area of this small village. The opening times are limited; it was closed Mon Tue, not open until 10am on trading days and last orders for food were an hour before the variable closing times. Breakfast was good, coffee so-so, the cakes looked appealing homemade, meal options were few and uninspired… beware of last collection order times. The cafe trades to ra... View all feedback. What Bernadette R doesn't like about The View:
The best thing about this restaurant is its stunning location. However, we were disappointed with the overall experience. The portions of food were small, especially for a dinner meal, and we felt that the prices were too high, especially for the fish platter. To top it off, a slice of cake for dessert was priced at £7! In total, we spent over £70, which we felt was not worth it for what we received. Despite being a... View all feedback.

The View restaurant in Port William offers a mixed experience according to diners. The high prices for small portion sizes and mediocre quality of the food have left some feeling disappointed. However, the beautiful view overlooking the harbor and excellent staff service have been highlighted as positives. The restaurant supports the local lifeboat charity, adding to its appeal. The establishment's cleanliness, friendly staff, and tasty food have received praise, making it a recommended spot for those in the area. Overall, opinions on The View vary, but it seems worth a visit for the view and charitable support alone.
