Me and my family visited the creel in when staying Catterline for the weekend. The food was amazing with a mix of Indian dishes and European options. Staff were lovely and locals very friendly. Will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely delicious meal - fish n chips - chips were big and fluffy and crisp, and batter was so light. We took away two curries as well. Both were so tasty. I had the speciality vegetable mango curry and the vegetables were lovely and soft. We were made so welcome, and our dogs with biscuits and a bowl of water. So delighted we have found The Creel and are booked to go and again on Saturday! Thoroughly recommend

As locals we are delighted that The Creel is open again. We have already eaten there a couple of times and have enjoyed the food very much. It is freshly cooked and very tasty. My husband had Goan Lamb Shank and I enjoyed the Chicken Shalimar, both with sides of rice and nan. We also had the monk fish starter - yum! The staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff.

First time trying the Creel under the new ownership. Wide variety of offerings on the menu - husband had monkfish starter followed by seafood curry and I opted for the chilli chicken masala and a couple of chapatis. Both meals were excellent, good portions and reasonably priced. A mixture of classic dishes like fish n chips as well as special curries and the old favourites. We will be back - and an added bonus, very dog friendly!

We ordered 3 lobsters, 2 steaks and a Halibut. Lobsters were cooked tasty and juicy but only average size for £38 each. Steaks eaters were pleased with their meats and pepper sauces. My husband loves his halibut. Would be reasonable if the lobsters are more meaty I could easily eat 2 myself for that size.
