Firm favourite with the locals. Great food the Sunday Carvery is fab. Gets busy! Got a pool table and sports normally on the television especially football. Can sit outside and see the sea in the summer and enjoy a beer or two. Can walk along the beach from chalet to reach this pub. Doggy Friendly also.
