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.

we use this pub once a month for date night so when we saw the" steak night " come up we thought lets go. so to start off we ordered a steak each to be told no sirloin at 1830 on a steak night, so we both had rib eye, one with fries and salad the other with fries, tomato and a few mushrooms. drinks came and food about 20 minutes later, the well done was well done, the fries were the best part of the meal, the salad was swimming in dressing and was a mess. there was one small tomato and i expected a steak mushroom for a steak night? the blue steak was rare and no blood, the plates were not heated up so my steak went cold quickly making the big lumps of fat in the steak horrible so they were removed and left on the side of the plate which we took home for the dogs as then at least they would be happy. we got asked when the food arrived if it was ok then even when our drinks glasses were empty no one asked if we wanted a refill. in the end we gave up and left having to walk to the bar to pay and still never got asked if the food was ok. we wont ever go back for steak and will stick to their pizzas which are good. we never complained at the time as we went to eat together and having waited for food did not wish to sit separately eating whilst the food issues were dealt with. for £32 each it was over priced and rubbish
