Went here Monday just gone and we thought we’d go somewhere different and a little change of scenery and we were very impressed with the quality of the food here and the portions are really decent as well. Everything was all up to standard. My misses pointed out to the waitress/bartender just as we asked for the bill to say how amazing the food was. We will come back again ☺️

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Food portions are massive and are great value for money. I had the fish fingers wrap with a side of some of the most amazing chips I've had. My partner had the cajun chicken which was flavourful and cooked perfectly. However I just wished they grilled my wrap as it was rather plain and the side of salad it came with could've used some sort of light dressing for added flavour. Overall, this pub is highly recommended and we will surely visit again.

Went here for a meal with a visiting family member, from the outside it doesn't look anything special, maybe a little run down but once you go it's a different story.
The decor inside is very fitting of the name, sea maps used as wallpaper, blues for the paint just a very nice atmosphere.
Then you get to the food. The food was incredible, good portions and great quality food, my only complaint would be the food portions for a kid were huge but can you really call that a complaint??
Hoping to go back soon!!
