Joplin’s is not at the centre of some great metropolis, but it most definitely is at the core of what dining out is all about. A small intimate environment where you are not made to feel like a number, a sensibly sized menu that ensures nothing ever gets close to a microwave and above all, really really well cooked food prepared by hosts who clearly have a passion for their business.
My wife and I were first time visitors to the restaurant, which sadly is just a tad too far to visit from home for a night out, but it is definitely a “must return” when in the area.
You will regret not trying it if you do get the chance

Excellent all round. Lovely couple running this - and very very good food. We’d been meaning to come for a while since we moved to Great Ayton last December, but had to cancel an earlier visit due to the dreaded COVID. It was worth the wait - even on an early June Wednesday the restaurant was busy, which says it all really. Food and wine top notch - excellent produce (I had a huge dressed crab followed by halibut, the chorizo and scallop starter was amazing too). Great deserts and well selected wine. Brilliant

The feeling upon entering is a little bit like stepping back in time as we remarked that this reminded us of having dinner out in the 80s
The food however was very 'of the moment' with beautifully presented mussels for starter and halibut for main course.
I Ioved the fact that we had the table for the entire evening so nothing is rushed.
I would have liked a Pinot Grigio on the wine list, it is a very popular wine so i was a bit surprised this wasn't an option
Service was great too.

Have visited Joplin’s on several occasions in the past 20 years and the food has never failed to impress. Some of the best seafood we have eaten in the UK. Service is efficient and unobtrusive. It is quite pricey but food of this quality is certainly worth it. A quick drink in the bar while we looked through the menu and when the food was ready we were shown to our table. For starter we had mussels which are delicious and a seafood pancake, excellent. The Sea Bass cooked with Pernod, Monk fish cooked with Scallops and a Malibu sauce can most definitely recommend.

From stepping into the restaurant it was a perfect night.
The service, friendliness of the owners, food and tariff were exceptional.
Starter of scallops was beautifully cooked, and our halibut and turbot mains also.
All served on piping hot plates.
The food was very very well cooked by a chef who knew what he was doing with high quality produce.
Would definitely return and would definitely recommend.

This small beautiful seafood (primarily) restaurant is always the local choice for a special occasion. Great seafood pancake for starter, as usual, although to be fair (and no offence intended in these difficult times), there seemed to be more sauce and less seafood!
My thick cod loin with a smoked salmon topping was outstanding - so much that my wife complained that I hadn't eaten enough vegetables.
Great friendly owners as always and a very nice wine.
Always enjoy eating here, and highly recommended. p.s. you need to book to get a table.

A friend has been telling me to go to Joplins for years and we finally got round to it!!!
Staff are lovely and very welcoming.
I ordered soup and my husband ordered scallops, chorizo and black pudding as our starters. Followed by monkfish and prawns in garlic and herb sauce for me, halibut for my husband.
Everything was piping hot, as were the plates. A couple of the potatoes were a little hard but there were some that were cooked so we had enough to eat
We had a bit of a rest and then we both ordered the lemon tart. Really good.
We will definitely go back. One of the nicest meals we have had in the local area for a long time. The only criticism my friend (who has been going for years) has is that the menu doesn't change very often.

Celebrated my husband’s birthday here. It is a restaurant we enjoy going to for special occasions. As always we received a lovely welcome. The food and wine were good - the seafood towers for starters and halibut main course were delicious. We love the atmosphere of this small cosy restaurant and are made to feel special by Gill and Martin, the owners.

My wife and I visited Joplins for a weekday evening dinner. We were very well looked after by Martin and Gill. The quality of the food and the service were excellent. The sea bass in Pernod is an old favourite and was as good as ever.

What an amazing restaurant 😋
My husband took me as a surprise, it was delightful from start to finish. Lovely atmosphere, a warm welcome and the food was delicious.
I had the mussels to start, monkfish and king prawns for main and finished off with delicious raspberry creme brulee. Honestly one the finest meals we've had in a long time. We will be back and definitely will recommend to our friends.

Only one word for this gem of a restaurant, superb. We were made to feel welcome from the second we came through the door (Gill even opened the door early for us). Martin and Gill are excellent hosts and the food is outstanding. Sadly, it is too far to visit on a regular basis but we will definitely return the next time we are in the area.

Service was brilliant from the moment we booked a table until the moment we left. I had the dressed crab which was excellent, plenty of crab provided. My partner really enjoyed his King scallop starter, got plenty on the plate. For main we both had the Halibut with brown shrimps. Really good portion, plenty of veg and very well cooked. Just melted in your mouth. All staff were very friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

Ate here with friends on the last evening of our holiday last week. Saved the best for last! The food was amazing and the service was perfect. Couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely be going back when we return.

A super little family run fish restaurant. Very accommodating to my dietary requirements. Very impressed. The menu did include steak or duck if you’re not a fish or seafood lover.
