Brilliant night in the hands of Jo and the team at Captains. Flavoursome pizzas, excellent choice in toppings, great wine from the local region and a buzzy festive atmosphere - so lucky to have a restaurant like Captains. Staff were a delight - always chirpy and super helpful! We will be back again …. and again!!!

I’d rate the pizza amongst the best I’ve ever had! I recognise that it is a pizzeria, but the menu was a little limited for other options that weren’t dough based, so if it’s just pizza you want, this is THE place!!

A local friend recommended we grab pizzas and they did not disappoint! The potato pizza was a standout - the paprika addition was delicious. Food was quick, tasty and the staff were lovely. Recommend booking on a busy weekend. But worth it!
