Paddingtons Pub Eatery - Grand Bend

I absolutely adore this fantastic restaurant. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and I can't get enough of their curry! The fish and chips are the best I've had outside of the UK. The patio is wonderful, and the interior is a nice option when you want to take a break from the sun.

We try out fish and chips everywhere we go. As we are English we are picky. This was easily the best haddock and chips we've had in Canada in 30 years of living here. Portions were huge but it was so good I finished it and then walked it off! Server was lovely. Rest of menu looked great. Very reasonable prices. If the weather had been nicer we'd have eaten outside. The little area at the front inside definitely needs decorating. It's clean enough but a little beyond rustic. I have not reduced my 5 star rating for this because it's the food that counts, but if the interior were livened up a bit this place would be unbeatable.

You have to try the curry menu or curry sauce for the fries at this restaurant! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the curry at this pub, which doesn't look like your typical Indian restaurant. I ordered the Fish and Chips with the signature curry sauce and it was amazing! The curry sauce was so delicious that I ended up taking the rest home and having it with toast. The soup of the day, with tomato, chicken, corn, and cheese, was also very tasty and comforting. The atmosphere was a bit busy with regular customers who seemed to have a close relationship with the staff and owner. Despite this, the service was friendly and the restroom was clean.

The restaurant in this beach town on Lake Huron offers great value. I had a delicious burger with Caesar salad, while my wife enjoyed a chicken pot pie with a flaky golden crust. The beer selection and wine were top-notch. We sat on the front fenced patio on a windy Saturday afternoon, but the staff managed our beverages well, making it an enjoyable experience. The soup of the day and the steak with crab crust were also fantastic. We plan to return on October 21 for dinner, where I will order the bacon-wrapped meatloaf with fries and a side of curry sauce, which was served with asparagus and was delicious. We can't wait to go back soon.

Good food and portions Fair prices Ample parking Cramped inside ABYSIMAL AND INCOMPATANT SERVER Our server took our drink orders and made some saracastic remarks about me not seeing the drink list (I saw it but didnt want booze) we also decided to give her dinner orders as well to save time as we had a play in 1.5 hrs which we told her She then forgot to bring our drinks for 20 or more mins we got our apps and had to ask the other waitress delivering them for our drinks She screwed up my app order i asked for a rasp vinergerette dressing on a 15 buck salad not the normal balsamic when the other waitress brought it out i noticed the dressing was balsamic which is much darker I pointed it out to the server she argued with me told me it was right So i tasted it I was correct it was balsamic she then corrected it Then the mains arrive pretty late but im trying to cut em slack as its a sat night 2 of 4 mains wrong 1 minor issue which we fixed ourselves some things ended up on wrong plates The other one was a request for onion gravy not mushrooms which was not honoured Funny note I said to my sister in law judging from the way this is going she was getting the mushroom gravy she dreaded before it happened sadly prediction came true So my sister in law pointed the mushrooms she hates all over her main course out to the waitress politely her response was something to the effect she ordered it right and the kitchen cant read Rather then take it back or ask how to make it right She basically shrugged her shoulders did nothing and left She didnt come back at all after that to ask if we needed something or get us another drink and to this point we had all been polite and tolerant she had no reason to ignore it We finished ask for our bills and for a container for my wifes fish She came back with bills not even close to correct and no container for fish We then straightened out the bill with her and AGAIN asked for the container she forgot for my wifes fish We now had 10 mins to get to the play b4 it started So she came back again with the bills and STILL NO DAMN LEFT OVER CONTAINER The place could be pretty good and if the service was even mediocre id go back as we all liked the food But all 4 of us were shocked at the level of bad service May have been a one off may be the norm i dont know Normally i would have spoken to a manager or owner but i got to the play with mins to spare and didnt have the time.
