Are there parking spaces available?

There are some free parking spaces around the pub building and some more slightly beyond the pub on the left hand side. Unfortunately, we are unable to reserve spaces for our guests, If all the free parking is taken, we are right next to the seafront parking which is free between 6pm and 9am and £6.60 for the day.

We always have vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and diary free dishes available. Please let a member of staff know of any dietaries before ordering or booking.

We have a ramp that we can put up for wheelchairs and mobility scooters for the side entrance.

Dogs are very welcome; we charge £7.50 per night per dog and they are not allowed to be left alone.

What time are you open?

We are open from 10am until 10pm. For lunch time food reservations we are open from Monday until Saturday 12pm until 2.30pm and then again in the evenings 5pm until 9pm. Sunday our opening times are 12pm until 7pm.

  The most delicious burgers I've had in a long, long, time. Great spot, great view, great atmosphere, great service, such welcoming staff, me and my wife were given a table even though the place was fully booked. Thank you.

  Had a lovely meal here 13th April. Friendly staff.
Didn't get a receipt and realised when I got home we had been charged twice for drinks, paid by cash and then charged again by card when paying for the meal.
So although I would recommend check your receipt. 😊
