About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Dog-friendly
To keep you on your toes our head chef changes our evening menu regularly depending on what comes in fresh that day. Everything we offer is homemade and we source as much of the produce as we can as locally as possible. We always make sure there is a choice on the menu for Vegetarians, and we ask that when booking you let us know of any dietary requirements so we can tailor that evening’s menu appropriately.

    We arrived just before 1:30 and were not acknowledged by anyone for quite some time. Eventually we were shown to our table with menus, where we sat for over half an hour with no one coming to take our drinks or food orders. During this time A waitress passed and my husband asked if she could see if anyone could take our order and still no one came. We watched numerous waitresses cleaning empty tables whilst we waited to be served. We decided to leave and find food else where as our business was clearly not valued.

    We’re staying nearby and the pub was recommended to us by the home owners. Did not disappoint and not as expensive as other coastal restaurants. Lovely pub as part of the restaurant and beer garden looks fab. Staff were excellent and food really enjoyed by all.

    Really nice environment to enjoy a meal in. The service was excellent & the staff attentive but not in your face. Would recommend it to everyone. Not a vast menu but something for most people. Prices were reasonable.

    Due to previous table being late arriving, it knocked everyone back meaning we were late to our table - which was a shame. Main course fabulous and the two young waiting staff were lovely.

    A typical pub meal, good service and usual price. No great shakes but pleasant enough to give the pub another visit.

    A lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Good choice of meats and vegetables. Served on warm plates with extra gravy when requested. Sticky toffee pudding was excellent. Light and very tasty. Service was very good. Staff were attentive and made us feel welcome.
