Telegraph Travel wrote: “No airs and graces here. The Globe is a relaxed Georgian pub with rooms, in keeping with the relaxed seaside resort in which it sits. A mix of walkers, bucket-and-spade families and touring dog owners hang out in its rooms and tables, which overlook a leafy green at the “posh” end of town, a short walk from the quayside razzamatazz.” Expert rating 8/10

Food & Drink

Food is at the heart of The Globe’s appeal. The kitchen champions seasonal British ingredients with a focus on fresh seafood and locally sourced produce. The menu balances elevated pub classics with more contemporary dishes, making it equally suited to a relaxed lunch or celebratory evening supper. Sunday roasts are a popular fixture, and breakfast for staying guests provides a hearty start to the day before heading out along the coast. Behind the bar, you will find well-kept local ales, a thoughtful wine list and a range of premium spirits. Booking ahead is recommended, particularly during school holidays and summer weekends.
