We had the Sunday roast deal with dessert. I had beef brisket, which just melted in the mouth. My husband had the pork, also beautifully cooked. Followed by sticky toffee pudding and biscoff cheesecake which we shared. Although after tasting the cheesecake I didn’t really share too much. It was the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted! Honestly you have to go there and try it. I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely spot to take the family with a frat view of the sea. Fish and Chips were very nice, huge piece of fish with a light batter.

Had a lovely meal this evening, all food beautifully cooked. Very attentive and we loved the cider samples which led to some great choices to go with our meals. We had also had coffee and tea cake stop on a long walk this morning which was also perfect. Dog friendly and highly recommended. Thank you

Bottomless Brunch Food was good. Drinks never ran out Nelly the waitress was so friendly and polite. The only thing I felt could have been improved was the bench we was sitting on got a bit wet on the one end due to the rain outside dripping in through the corner of the marquee cover. Other than that we all really enjoyed it. I would definitely go again.

We had a great meal at the watch house. I enjoyed a delicious crab linguini that defeated me! Lovely service and plenty of dogs to improve any mood! We sat in the outdoor conservatory bit which was very warm, and the seats didn’t have backs which may be a struggle for some. Would definitely return!
