What Meander64873116651 doesn't like about The Hungry Shark:
Read the reviews about the fish and chips and would agree the fish was lovely but the chips are skinny and frozen and dipped in a fryer not the traditional chippy chips we were expecting. They do not do any curry/gravy/peas. They don’t do fish bites or battered sausage. They do not do kids portions. The Hungry Shark is a restaurant that does fish and chips/burgers and offers it’s menu as takeaway but at restaurant pr... View all feedback. What JoM931 likes about The Hungry Shark:
Favourite place for coffee (which is excellent), beer and people watching. Visited a couple times whilst in Swanage over bank holiday. Sat watching the world go by, a view of the beach and sea….. good coffee….. love this place. My husband never likes sitting for long, always wants to be up and off but not here. Here he will sit with a beer and just relax. There are lots of little ‘pods’, some covered and some not. On... View all feedback.

Great food recommend the fish and chips my wife had the burger which was also delicious, friendly staff and great views of swanage

Nestled near the picturesque beach and the shipwreck adventure golf course, The Hungry Shark offers a unique dining experience in a charming tiki hut. While diners rave about the excellent fish, the chips leave something to be desired, as they come in the form of thin fries rather than traditional battered options. The restaurant boasts a vibrant atmosphere, ideal for enjoying coffee, cold drinks, and burgers while overlooking stunning views. Although a few menu items may disappoint, the inviting ambiance and attentive staff make it an enjoyable spot for both relaxing meals and leisurely refreshments.
