We revisited The Rovers Return after a 12 year absence from Goa and were so happy to meet Joseph and the family again. This was our shack of choice every day we were on the beach, whether it was just for a cold beer, water or some delicious food. I ate the cheese salad most days so fresh and tasty,... More

Used this shack for two weeks as we were with others who had used this shack previously. Excellent food and out of the way of the end were all the indians use and there is not as much rubbish everywhere. We are not usually the ones who go for english food on holiday but there was other food apart from... More

Joseph the shack owner is proud of the fact that he went to catering college and advertises this on his menu's. He's quite right to be proud because the food is absolutely spot on. A full monty roast beef dinner with all the trimmings, apple pie and ice cream on the beach either at lunch time or in the evening... More

We have been using this shack since approx 2003. The food is first class. Josephs home made pies are to die for, the suckling pig amazing and the Sunday roasts better than I have had here in Yorkshire! Complete with home made yorkshire puds and horseradish sauce! Apple pie amazing too! We have never ever had a bad meal at... More

Although just an ordinary beach shack, the food here is excellent. The suckling pig is the dish that draws people in the evening and it is excellent. It is served with loads of potatoes and veg along with gravy and apple sauce. No chance of leaving here hungry! We have been here in a group of four (minimum) and up... More

Not being a fan of establishments such as english pubs, fish and chip shops and english 'pubs' in foreign countries we were initially reluctant to visit this shack, especially with such an awful name, however recommendations from others made us decide to give it a try. It seems a little dilapidated and out of the way compared to other shacks... More

Best english food in Goa served at this beach shack, the Sunday dinners are the best. Braised steak, liver and onions to mention but a few. You do need to book for the evening as it is very busy otherwise be prepared to wait ......
