    Very noisy indoors due to large table hooraying it up. As pensioners we would have been perched at the end of one table. So we sat outside in one of the two main seating areas under plastic roofing. It was very cold and wet and the wood burning stove which would have made things cosy was not lit which when the temperature is 11c and extremely wet was very poor indeed. Mains are around £20 plus sides so not cheap. The food was good though. I can see that on warm summer days and balmy evenings it would come into its own.

    Such a lovely little place. Quite a small menu, but to be expected from a small venue. Everything freshly made and very tasty. Dog friendly inside and out, so great to go for a beach walk too.

    Lovely food and drink. Surroundings are stunning. Only negative was table full of noisy kids whose parents didnt seem to care how much noise, or mess, they made - nothing to do with the restaurant or staff, guess you can't choose your customers
