About Us
The Captain's Table Restaurant received its name in honor of one of Newfoundland's greatest heroes, Captain William Jackman. Famous for its fish and chips since 1988!

It was October 9, 1867 - A day long remembered for the vicious storm that lashed the rocky Labrador coast. William Jackman, a strong but soft-spoken sealing captain from Renews, had taken his ship and crew to his property at Spotted Island. At the peak of the storm, Jackman bundled himself in his warmest clothes and headed outside. The third crewman, named Crosbie, pulled on his clothes and followed him. Their heads bowed, Jackman and Crosbie pressed on through the blowing snow towards the coast until they saw a fishing schooner being pounded to pieces on a reef several hundred meters from shore.

the captain's table

By Melissa Barrington, Owner/Operator

In April 2017 my journey towards becoming a business owner officially began. My husband and I purchased The Captain's Table Restaurant. The Captain's Table was opened by my grandparents just before I was born, and it's been a part of my life from day one. It's more than just a restaurant to me, it is home. And it's not just home to my family and me, it is home to customers that have become like family through the years. We get to be a part of many special life events for our customers. We've hosted birthday parties, we've witnessed marriage proposals, we've thrown wedding receptions, anniversary parties, and endless other celebrations. We also love making the little events, like a small family lunch or an evening date night, feel just as special to our customers as the big events. Over time our customers have become our friends, and that's what I love so much about the business my family has built.

I started working in the restaurant as a dishwasher and eventually worked my way into the kitchen. From there I became a server, and later a manager. This year marks my 22nd season, and I'm so happy to say that I love going to work each morning now as much as I did when I started years ago.

When my grandmother decided to retire, my husband and I decided to buy the restaurant and keep family tradition going. But deciding to buy a restaurant and actually doing it are two different things.

Our first year of operating the restaurant as owners was a huge success. We were able to build the outdoor seating area we had dreamed of having, and we added a weekend breakfast menu which is a big hit! Of course there were challenges along the way.

After a successful summer as owners we decided to turn the summer business into a year round operation. We were nervous at first, as Newfoundland winters can be hard, but the unwavering support from our local customers was amazing and we were grateful for the familiar faces that kept us going all winter long. We have decided to officially stay open year round going forward, and have to send a thank you to our customer, staff, friends and family for making this possible!

Although we have made many changes in the past few years, we still remain true to my grandfathers original recipes and always operate the business in a way that we know would make him proud.
