Took my son &amp; fianc&eacute;e there on Saturday - their first time- the sun was shining &amp; we enjoyed a selection of starters all excellent as always! Great value , the portions generous &amp; service superb

Jess provided fabulous service, and the classic pub food was delightful. The views from the restaurant added to the overall experience.

Always very friendly staff, nothing ever too much bother. We always bring the dog and they always have treats in a cup on the table and a bowl of water ready for him.

Every visit to The Arkle Manor is a delight, thanks to the friendly and attentive staff like Jenna. The ambiance is charming, and the food never disappoints.

The mixed seafood pot. The prawns and mussels tasted like they were just pulled from the water. That kind of freshness is hard to find. Had it right there on the beach, which was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years, the staff always take a moment to chat and explain the specials. Makes it feel like a proper local spot, not just another restaurant.

Love the funky decor and our corner booth was perfect for catching up with friends. The chicken burger was juicy and fresh!

Been coming here for years. The Vietnamese fried chicken is always spot on, keeps me coming back.

Lovely spot for a lazy Sunday catch-up with friends. The staff were so friendly and chatty, which really added to the relaxed vibe. Food was great, and it wasn&#39;t packed - could actually hear each other talk! 😊

Nice dinner with friends. Marta was a really good server, attentive but not overbearing. The food was decent.

The seats are really comfy, which makes a big difference for a relaxed meal. Nice spot in the centre.

The smashed patty burger was spot on, cheese melted just right. Vegan burger and tenders were a nice surprise too.

The mussels were the star for me. Really fresh, and the broth was so flavourful and hearty. It felt like a proper seafood feast. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal very relaxed and enjoyable.

The beef was cooked exactly as requested. Good selection of vegetables with the Sunday roast.

food was amazing and priced reasonably presentation was good portion sizes are a good size.. waiter was very helpful and happy to explain the dishes service was prompt. don&#39;t judge the food by the tired outside . would highly recommend this place  for authentic and quality food

The Thai curry mussels were the star. Plump, fresh, and the sauce had a lovely aromatic kick that wasn&#39;t too spicy. Portion was generous, which I appreciated. A solid choice.

Love the local Harvey&#39;s ales here! The staff really know their stuff and helped me pick one. Perfect for a chilled catch-up with friends over a pint. 🍻

Lovely hidden gem near the sea. The seafood linguine and fried calamari are standout dishes, and the staff are very attentive.

booked a table for five off us as a birthday  treat the booking was easy manager and staff could not do enough for us will definetly be back very soon

Grabbed a quick bite here. The nachos were solid, exactly what you want for a casual lunch. Food came out fast, which is key for me. Decent spot for a no-fuss meal.

The veggie Reuben here is my go-to. That toasted bagel with the melty cheese and tangy kraut just hits the spot every time. They&#39;ve got a good few other veggie fillings too, which is nice.

Nice spot for a family dinner. Staff are always friendly and helpful, which makes a real difference.

The chicken shawarma pizza was a nice surprise. Really appreciated how fresh the ingredients were, especially the veggies. It felt like a lighter option, not heavy or greasy.

The Sunday-Thursday set menu is a solid deal. About &pound;60 for two with drinks, and the food was genuinely tasty.

Venkat&#39;s service was spot on. The fish and chips were proper good, crispy batter and the chips were just right. Been coming here for years and it&#39;s always reliable.

The soft background music was just right, not too loud. It felt cozy and intimate, perfect for a quiet dinner. The lighting was warm and low. Really helped me unwind after a long day.

Service was spot on. They handled our group&#39;s dietary needs without any fuss, really attentive. Makes a difference when you&#39;re out for a meal.

The outdoor tables are tucked away just enough. You can people-watch but still feel a bit separate from the street. Perfect for a quick bite and a breather between shops. Food came out fast, which was a relief.

Loved the little garden out back. It&rsquo;s a proper little sun trap, just right for a pint when it&rsquo;s not raining. Felt like a nice escape from the street for a bit.

Nice relaxed pub. The pizza was pretty good - decent flavour, and the two size options worked well for sharing. Staff were friendly. A solid spot for a casual meal.
