    Lovely food menu, with locally sourced produce and changing specials each day. Friendly staff and a fantastic front, lawned garden to sit in the sun and enjoy the vast views across the marshes to the sea. Great pub!

    Nice welcome on arrival, good window table, pleasant waitress (maybe still learning?). Plenty of space between tables and food was very good and reasonably priced.
