“This is a great country pub just by the harbourside with cheap beer, great food, pies and sausage rolls and if you miss dinner time, gaming if that's your thing, or good music playing on the tannoy, and a range of pay-tv sports options. I dropped in not long ago and the staff were very obliging at setting up the soccer which also had sound! The staff were really friendly, an eclectic crowd full of local colour. All this and then some bar snacks into the bargain!”
