The servers were very prompt and courteous. You definitely should try the grilled oysters... WOW!!! They are very attentive to potential allergies that customers may have. I really enjoyed the crab and prawn linguini... delicious!! They do have an area that appears to also accommodate those customers who don't wish to be around dogs and their owners. The place offers stunning views of the lake. And the twisted Irish coffee as a dessert....a must have! Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area!!!

There's no need to book a table as you go in and sit at the bar until there's a table free. If you do want a more formal meal you can book to have a table in a separate section. Seafood is the main thing on the menu but there is are also other meals such as chicken kiev which I have had and enjoyed. There is a wide variety of desserts for after. For me the prices are a bit too expensive and as I'm not a great seafood lover I probably wouldn't go very often.

I was one of a party of 26 who came to Morans on a Friday night. If I had been a member of staff I…read morewould have been dreading our arrival. Instead, the lovely staff members were exceptionally organised and on the ball - it was some of the best service that I have ever experienced in a restaurant. They knew who had ordered what, the food was hot on arrival and not once did they look flustered. Very impressive stuff. The restaurant menu is a little confused with a predominantly thai menu plus additional British options. This always concerns me as I don't believe in restaurants specialising in multiple cuisines. I went down the thai route and had chicken spring rolls followed by green chicken curry and rice. The spring rolls were crunchy and not too oily. The green curry had the spice kick that I have been missing from other trips to thai restaurants in the UK. It was hot, fresh and a decent serving. Really tasty. The restaurant also has a bar area that made it easy for everyone to buy their own drinks and it made for a great place to mingle before and after dinner.

I've certainly paid more for lesser fare than this! I would heartily recommend anybody who finds themselves in the Barnstaple area check this place out!
