Fantastic little tropical shack round the corner from the beach at Instow. Staff are all really friendly and the atmosphere is great. Good selection of food and drink, and the fish finger sandwich is the best I've ever had. Dog and family friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

A fantastic place to eat. The food was delicious. We had oysters, mussels, the curry and a fish finger sandwich. The oysters and mussels were very fresh. The curry was superb and the fish finger sandwich was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and happy. They made me and my family feel very welcome. We will definitely return.

If you visit Instow you MUST visit the Glorious Oyster, visited a few times now and loved it every time. Oysters are huge and fresh as can be. Crab sandwich is divine. Dog friendly and he even had a doggy ice-cream.
Feels like we were in a tropical place. Amazing staff and oysters to die for. Really good rose too. Fabulous job guys

A small fish shack oasis tucked round the corner of Instow that honestly serves the best meals in the area. On top of that the service was extremely fast and they cater for gluten free. A must visit if you're near Instow.
