Went in for a light lunch. Very busy but service still polite and reasonably quick. Good and varied menu. Ours was well cooked and presented. Dog friendly inside and out which is a must for such a tourist area. We'll recommended.

The staff at this pub are amongst some of the nicest and most efficient I have ever encountered. We had a fantastic lunch here on Sunday. When there a mistake with our order (which was most certainly our fault) they fixed it so quickly for us. The quality of the food was really fantastic. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Next time we're in the area we will most certainly be back!

We popped in today with our pup for a nice pub lunch after lots of walking around the area. It is the cutest little spot with lots of character and we had the fish finger sandwich which was lush! What made our visit special however is the lovely lad that visits all the dogs on his round to offer them a treat! He politely asked first if our cocker would like a treat and he even threw in some training getting him to sit and gently take it from him. He really made our day!

Spending two nights at the pubs Hotel. Lovely old pub owned by Adnams, one of my favourite brewers. Staff very friendly and most helpful. Our room was simple but very nicely presented. Food and drinks very nice. The location is tremendous. Please note the car park is for hotel residents only, as it is quite tight. Lovely garden though around the back. Situated off the village green and short walks to the beach. First time in this part of the country, it's a great base to explore and would recommend to all.

Lovely pub with nice beer garden that has plenty of tables in. The Adnams beer is well kept and the food comes relatively quickly. It's slightly expensive for what it is, but you are paying for the location. Staff are also excellent; friendly and attentive.
