Whether you are visiting for a quick lunch, an evening meal, or a pint or two on the terrace, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. The bar sits at the heart of the pub, with well-kept ales, familiar lagers and something cold ready after the beach. There is plenty else besides, from wines for the table to a nightcap before heading to bed next door.
