"Popped in for Sunday lunch after a walk on the beach. Was asked if we'd booked, we hadn't and as it was just past 12 we could eat. Heard phone call to say they were fully booked, must have been later as it wasn't very busy.
Food portions were good, side dish of vegetables, the red cabbage tasted quite strong (cinnamon), not to my taste."

"This was our first visit to Captains Cabin in a very long time, and we left the venue at the end of the evening agreeing we would definitely be back again soon.
For anyone who has never been to the venue, from the outside you may think it is fairly small, but in true Tardis fashion once you walk through the main door the venue continuously opens up to bigger and bigger areas.
On arrival you walk into a really nice-looking bar area with a pool table, with plenty of seats. The venue has a wide selection of beers, ales, wines and spirits and we were welcomed by a friendly lady behind the bar.
After purchasing our drinks, we walked through the restaurant area before walking downstairs into an outside sun terrace.
The sun terrace was big and has an amazing view across to Wales, the North Devon coast, Weston, and its surrounding areas.
On an evening, the sunsets really are amazing and seeing is believing. There is also a well-stocked bar in the sun terrace so you can buy your drinks from here as well.
After a drink we then decided it was time to proceed to the restaurant which was our main purpose for our visit.
We were welcomed by a friendly gentleman who went through the menu with us.
We decided to have Panko Whitebait and a Scotch Egg for our starters, both were massive portions and tasted perfectly.
For our mains we had a Cider battered cod, pressed peas, curry sauce and chips and a Peri-Peri Chicken with salad and chips, again both portions were massive, and both dishes were perfect.
Sadly, as all the portions were so large we didn’t have room for one of the tasty desserts on the menu.
We returned to the bar area where we got chatting with both staff and a were made to feel really welcome.
We would both highly recommend a visit to Captains Cabin, if not for the amazing food, for the amazing views from the outside sun terrace instead."

15 Wonderful dog friendly pubs in Weston-super-Mare
This freehouse right by the seafront serves up some of the scrummiest seafood in town, as well as the typical grub you’d expect from a pub. The Captain’s Cabin is one of the friendliest pubs in Weston-super-Mare, where children and pooches are more than welcome inside. It’s had a spruce-up inside recently so it’s looking better than ever, and there’s no beating the terrace and its glorious views over the waterfront.
Best pubs in Weston-super-Mare
In winter, this local landmark pub is all dark wood and cosy with a log fire, and in summer, the cracking outdoor terrace comes into its own. Perched on Weston’s seafront at the far end of town, towards Birnbeck Pier, the Captain’s Cabin terrace is hard to beat on a sunny day. Picture an outdoor bar, live music and a pint in had as the sun goes down and waves lap against the rocks, but a stone’s throw away.

Share a sundowner with friends overlooking the sea from the terrace at the Captain’s Cabin. This bar and restaurant sits on Weston’s seafront at the far end of town, near Birnbeck Pier.
