"Couldn’t book for Valentines, so we had our special night early this year. We had our first ‘date’ at The Duck a few years back and it seemed appropriate to celebrate our time together. We both had fabulous meals. Service and atmosphere were great. I had the Duck Confit Burger, which was excellent. My partner enjoyed the Chicken Schnitzel. Desserts were light and tasty and a great way to finish our meal. Thanks a million Charlie, Helen plus the kitchen and FOH crews."

"Lively little pub, serving food and drink, where you'll be lucky to get a table or a parking space most of summer. Nice location right by the sea so great place to watch the world go by. Had a nice lunch here with friends and it was all around £25. Ordered drinks and sandwiches, which had generous fillings and came with fries and salad. My friends ham was a bit too thickly sliced for my liking, but they loved it and my grated cheese and pickle was just right for me. Will definitely visit again."

"had a nice lunch on a day trip to the island. the three buoys is just 15 minutes to walk from the hover harbour in a beautiful location with views of the appley beach. the service was perfectly very friendly and efficient. eating was excellent and the menu was varied with interesting elements on a solid basis. the beer squirted fish and chips was delicious with the best I ever tasted, mixed with spinach and a cat filled tartar sauce. perhaps too many cats for those who are not fans of cats, but still delicious. the fish was beautiful and the teig was delicious and not heavy or greasy. I had the seabarschfilets with a red pfeffer pesto, sweethorn velouté, coconut jelly, carburized pak choi, black sesame and red chili. there were also some unannounced spring onions and criminals that complemented the court nicely. the coconut jelly cubes lacked in the coconut flavor and the cut red chili was a little too much for my taste. it contrasted too strongly against the brighter red pfeffer pesto and sweethorn velouté according to my opinion, but it was no effort to separate the few discs from the court. the seabarschfilets were cooked for perfection and packed with taste from the pan. moistened and tastefully with a firm skin, just as it should be. also the grilled pak choi were excellent and both that and the fish were the stars of the show. we had some extraordinary moules marinière as starter. they were not on the menu, but we were accommodated when we asked for them. the mushes were fresh and juicy, only cooked long enough. too many places serve overcooked mush, but this is not one of them. the sauce was plentiful and ridiculously tasty when used a little too much cream (for anyone who observes their waist). this was accompanied by the best garlic bread I cost. the part was also very generous for a starter. I had a local ale to accompany my soul bass, which went very well together. there was so much taste in the fish and pak choi that a bright white wine to blande in comparison I fear so that I was happy with my choice. I had hoped a little more seafood on the menu when I first saw it when I was in the mood for a seafood plate or similar. if I had seen the menu before, I might have gone somewhere and I would have missed on one of the best meals I had in some time. It shows that a good restaurant can take a somewhat regular dish and make it an unforgettable one. I wish I didn't drive this day later, because their gin and tonic and wein selection were very seductive. I'll be sure to come back next time with an overnight stay. at £ 21 per head this was exceptionally good. I love that the service has not been included yet suggested and I hope that the employees do well on tips because they deserve it absolutely. I can't recommend the three buoys enough and remember the meal lively as I write these days later."

"Had a fab evening! We popped in the day before for a drink and a gin tasting, decided we liked the look of the menu and booked for dinner. Both visits the staff were friendly and helpful. I’m not sure what a gin tasting elsewhere looks like… but we were quite pleased that there was enough in each shot that 3 of us could have a good taste and still walk out without assistance. The Navy rum and Navy gin will def slow you down! Dinner was really good and the portions are quite big- the fish and chips more than filled the plate. Mermaid Burger was lovely. Daughter had Eton Mess to finish and said it was wonderful. Ended up buying 4 bottles the 5 5cl flavours, along with several empties for decorative purposes (the bottles are GORGEOUS and the £5/ea goes to charity). 10/10 would definitely come back."
