The scampi and chips were spot on, and the fish cakes were a cut above your average pub fare – full of flavour and nicely presented. Good food all round, served in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The pub is ideally located near the coastal walk and green, where you’ll find benches and stunning sea views – perfect for a stroll before or after your meal. A great spot for anyone visiting the area. Highly recommended. ”
