“ I went for a Sunday roast with friends. Staff were welcoming from the start and accommodated us even though we were half an hour early. The food was fantastic across all three courses; the roast did not disappoint and was probably one of the best I've had for a while. With the great atmosphere, staff, and views overlooking the sea, it made for a nice afternoon with friends. As we had all three courses with drinks, we spent around £40 each, but it's worth the price. ”

“ Very tasty Sunday roast! Well decorated pub, clean with views to the sea. Good portions, well cooked and plenty of veggies. Amazing cauliflower/broccoli cheese. Good drink selection (and non alcoholic drinks available too). Quite busy on Sunday so better to book it to ensure a place. Service is 10 out of 10. ”

“ Came on a Tuesday early evening for dinner with a friend and was very pleasantly surprised. The music was at a sensible level, and after a stunning sunset (which admittedly was not down to the venue) the windows were shut, the candles were lit, and the staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Our bill was only high, as we ended up staying and spending far more on alcohol than intended as it was such a lovely welcoming atmosphere. ”
