Been coming here for years. The sourdough is always spot on, and you can tell they use fresh mushrooms, not the tinned stuff. Good for a simple, light lunch.

Lovely little spot, the owner was so friendly! He even played a few songs on the guitar while we waited. Made the whole thing feel really cosy and personal. The food was nice too, but that little moment was the highlight for me.

The staff are so friendly, they even took the time to chat about the wine list. Felt like a proper welcome.

Love the vibe here, feels like a proper local pub. The owners and chefs have created something really warm and quirky. Just a nice, relaxed spot to unwind.

The cod and chips were cooked just right, a proper portion too. Service was quick, which I always appreciate. My only small note is the seating could be a bit more comfortable for a longer visit.

The Sunday roast was the star for me. The beef was a proper thick cut, almost like a steak, not just thin slices. Really generous portion, left me happily stuffed. Desserts were a nice sweet finish.

The fish and chips were spot on. The batter was crisp and light, not greasy at all, and the chips were proper thick-cut. The mushy peas had a good minty kick. Just what you want from a seaside pub.

A proper cuppa with a slice of their homemade lemon drizzle cake. The owner mentioned it&#39;s her grandmother&#39;s recipe. That kind of personal touch, paired with a decent tea selection, makes for a very relaxed afternoon. The cake was spot on, not too sweet.

The breakfast was hearty and the price was right. Just a heads up, the outside loos could do with a little TLC.

The Christmas platter had good variety - curry goat, fritters, lobster. Solid value for the price.

A nice little spot on the pier for a quick bite. The fish and chips were perfectly crispy, and the staff were really friendly. My only note is that the stools are a bit high and not the most comfortable for a longer sit.

Service was spot on, really friendly and quick. The owner even let me sit in the main dining area when it was quiet and offered a tea on the house. A nice touch that made a difference.

Popped in for a flapjack. The place has this old-school charm, really cosy. Staff were nice, chatty. Pancake was spot on, not too sweet. Just a solid, simple stop.

The pie nights are a highlight, but do call ahead as they&#39;re not always on. The ingredients taste wonderfully fresh.

The toffee apple cake was huge, easily enough for two. Coffee &amp; walnut slice was good too, but the apple one was the real value. They do change the selection, so hope it&#39;s there next time.

Been coming here for years, and the fact they never charge extra for gluten-free options is a big reason why. It&rsquo;s just consistent. Had the dairy-free afternoon tea again last week, and it was spot on as usual.
