Been going for years and the food quality was markedly down this time - Dec 2021. It’s not bad (apart from the very bad tomato sauce in the pasta and pizza) but standard pub food, rather than the special fresh seafood they used to have. Think chain pub type quality - so for the price, it needs to be better.

Visited this place for more than 20 years and never been disappointed. Really nice tasty beers, obviously well kept. Interesting menu that changes with seasons. Recently enjoyed the beef pie, haddock, ribs, mussels and lovely ploughman's type board. Delicious. Great after superb dog walk along the beach. Highly rcommended.
