How to compare them
Start with the area and the correct meal period. Then compare setting, booking risk, access for non-residents and the return journey. A strong venue in the wrong part of the coast can produce a worse day than a slightly less ambitious option close to where you already are.
What to verify live
Opening hours, special-event access, buffet dates, private functions, dress rules and dietary arrangements belong on the operator's current page or in a direct conversation with the venue.
