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!

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.

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.
