They made my dog feel so welcome here. Brought him a water bowl straight away, and the staff were lovely with him. A really nice touch for a dog-friendly spot.

The knickerbocker glory here is the real deal. Proper layers of fruit, jelly, and ice cream, topped with that thick, almost chewy whipped cream. It&rsquo;s a classic done right, and you get a lot for the money.

Grabbed a takeaway and ate it right by the harbour. The fish and chips were super fresh, still hot and crispy even after the short walk. Perfect for a quick bite with a view.

Lovely beer garden with a view of the hills. The staff were really friendly, made us feel right at home. A proper country pub vibe, just what we were after for a lazy Sunday pint.

The pizzas were huge, easily enough for two. My partner and I shared one and still had leftovers. The steak was good, but honestly, the pizza portion was the real winner for the price.

Been coming here for years. The owners are always friendly and the food is reliably good. It&#39;s a proper local pub, not some trendy spot. Just a solid place for a pint and a meal.

The Sunday roast here is a solid choice. Good selection of meats, veggies cooked just right. Found a decent Malbec on the list that paired nicely with the beef. A bit busy, but that&#39;s to be expected.

Staff were really friendly. I asked for a custom sandwich and they made it exactly how I wanted, no fuss. Good to know they&#39;ll sort you out if you fancy something different.

Service was on point. Kaci, Sharon, and Tara were quick and friendly. Made our lunch break easy. Good for a quick bite.

The new owners are so friendly! They remembered our drinks from last time and the vibe is perfect for catching up with mates. Food was tasty, just a bit slow coming out. Still, a nice spot for a relaxed dinner.

Spiciest curry I&#39;ve had, the Gunpowder Vindaloo Chicken. Paired well with garlic naan. Staff were quick and attentive.

Only open Friday and Saturday nights, so definitely book ahead. Menu&#39;s small but everything we tried was spot on. The lamb was cooked perfectly, really tender. Good value for the quality.

Staff were polite and attentive. Good to see trainees being coached on the floor - everyone starts somewhere. Service felt efficient and well-managed.

Shared the nachos and garlic mushrooms. Both were spot on, exactly what you want from pub grub. Decent portions for the price too.

Ruby was so lovely with my little one, made the whole lunch feel easy. The rest of the team were really attentive too. A nice spot for a family meal.

Got the large portion. Honestly, it&#39;s a lot of food for the price. Could barely finish it. Good quality too.

The carvery was the highlight for me. The roast beef was cooked just right, and the selection of fresh vegetables was impressive. I really appreciated having so many healthy options to choose from. The gravy was a bit on the salty side for my taste, but everything else was spot on.

Been coming here for years, and that terrace view over the bay never gets old. Just a lovely spot for dinner on a summer evening.

The ribs in the set were fantastic. The house red was a surprisingly good match for the smoky flavours.

Been coming here for years, and the chicken tikka curry is always spot on. Comes with rice, naan, and a poppadom. Still only takes about 15 minutes from ordering. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Popped in for a coffee and a slice of cake this afternoon. It was so chilled, perfect for a break. The staff were really on it, even with the place being packed.

Breakfast was solid - loads of choice and everything cooked properly. The harbour view from the room was a nice touch.

Nice spot for breakfast with a sea view. The food looked good and was cooked right. Bit of a wait for a table, but the view made up for it.

A proper local pub, warm and inviting. The staff were friendly. Menu had a good variety, including daily specials. I appreciated their wine list &ndash; a decent selection of reds by the glass that paired well with the steak pie. A solid choice for a relaxed evening.

Birthday lunch spot. The clucker burger was worth the wait, honestly. Staff were so calm when a nearby table got a bit loud, handled it really well.

Stopped by for a quick drink and the staff were so nice. They let me try a sip of their house lager before I ordered a pint. The vibe in here is just really relaxed and friendly.

The renovation&#39;s nice, but the main thing is the food. The lamb shank was cooked for hours, just fell apart with a fork. The gravy was rich, not too salty. That&#39;s what I come for.
