Our first visit and we were not disappointed. We all had an amazing roast dinner with excellent drinks. The service really was spot on, they knew when you wanted something and when to just leave you to eat. We can imagine the place would get very busy in the summer as it had an excellent garden with a play area, smokehouse and outside bar. Great place to go to on a Sunday, and to spend time catching up with family and friends. 5*****+ from us.

Friendly greeting on arrival, given the table as we had requested on the online booking. Hard working pleasant staff. The Adnams beer was well keptand served perfectly. A nice fresh salad and freshly cooked, hot fries and the pizzas (4 of them) were nicely cooked and presented.

A characterful dog friendly coastal pub and restaurant. The staff were welcoming and we chose to sit in the bar area. Our pizzas were excellent and my companion enjoyed the ales on offer. The pizzas are cooked on a pizza oven visible from the tables. The prices are good value. The decor is simple, homely and tasteful. We enjoyed our meal there. There is a good choice of starters, main meals and deserts.
