Good spot with sea views. Breakfast was decent and reasonably priced. The roof terrace is a bonus on a sunny day.

Sunday karaoke was a blast! The food&#39;s decent, but service can be a bit slow when they&#39;re short-staffed.

Ordered through Uber Eats and they were really nice about swapping my fried eggs for scrambled. The extra black pudding was the best bit. The whole thing just felt like a proper, comforting breakfast.

The pizza had a good crust, crispy but not tough. The tomato sauce was a bit sweet, which worked well with the salty pepperoni. Could have used a touch more basil, but the flavour was solid.

Lemon drizzle cake was spot on, and the gluten-free brownie was a nice touch. Staff were helpful. I did wish the wine list had a few more options by the glass to pair with the desserts, though.

Came back for a burger and chips after trying their breakfast bap. The place has this relaxed, lived-in feel&mdash;worn wooden floors, mismatched chairs, and big windows. Just a comfortable spot to unwind with a meal, nothing fancy.

Been coming here for years. Their fish and chips are reliably good &ndash; the batter is crisp, the fish inside is always moist and fresh. It&#39;s a simple thing, but they get it right every time.

Wasn&#39;t expecting much, just grabbed a burger. The patty was actually fresh and juicy, not like the usual fast food. Chips were the highlight though, perfectly crispy. A solid lunch spot.

Good spot for takeaway fish and chips on the harbour. Portions are generous for the price, and the batter is crispy without being greasy. My go-to for a quick, filling meal when I&#39;m in the area.

Menu&#39;s got a good range, even vegan choices. Noticed the food&#39;s stepped up this summer &ndash; my veggie burger was actually juicy, not dry like before.

A proper local pub, quiet and friendly. No kitchen, but you can bring in your own food. Their ale selection is decent - had a pint of their house bitter that went nicely with my fish and chips. Just the spot for a relaxed evening.

Megan was so lovely and attentive. That mushroom linguine with grilled chicken was the star for me - the sauce was creamy but not heavy at all. My husband enjoyed his small plates too. The whole place just has a nice, relaxed vibe.

The team here is so lovely. They really took care of us for our little get-together. Everything was handled so calmly, which made the whole afternoon feel relaxed and easy.

Been coming here for years. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Just be prepared to wait a bit at the bar if it&#39;s really busy. That&#39;s the only thing, really.

Been coming here for years. It&rsquo;s a proper local, and they&rsquo;re always welcoming to dogs. Tried the sea bass off the specials board last night &ndash; cooked just right, simple and fresh. That&rsquo;s what keeps me coming back.

Pricey but worth it. The steak was cooked just right, and the view from the window seat was fantastic. Good for a special occasion.

Loved the broccoli and stilton soup here. Got it with the cheese toastie on the side &ndash; the perfect combo for a rainy afternoon. Cosy little spot, felt right at home.

Came for the view, stayed for the food. The seafood pasta was generous, packed with prawns and mussels. For the price, the portion size is really decent. You get what you pay for here.

Russell was super helpful with recommendations. Got my food quick and it was exactly what I wanted. 👍

Popped in for a quick solo lunch. Food came fast, which was key for me. The steak sandwich was hot, well-seasoned, and matched the menu description. Good portion for the price.

Travelled a fair distance for this. The food came out quickly, which was perfect with our toddler. One of the better Indian meals we&#39;ve had.

The pistachio ice cream was the best part for me. They serve it with a dollop of cream on top. The flavour is so rich and genuine, just like proper gelato you&#39;d get in Italy. Really enjoyed it.

The steak was cooked just right, and the Eton Mess was lovely. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially the berries in the dessert. The atmosphere in the pub was quite nice too.

Been coming here for years. The shortbread is consistently good, just like it always was.

Been coming here for years. The roast beef on Sundays is always spot on, proper tender and flavourful. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. Staff are friendly too.

As a coeliac, I really appreciated the care here. They have separate equipment for gluten-free prep, which is a huge relief. Felt safe ordering, and nearly everything on the menu was an option for me.

Decent pub food. The crab and prawn spaghetti was pretty good, and the portions are generous for the price.
