Manager Kylie Brook said: “The current owners have had this place since 1988. It’s a very unique pub inside. There’s lots of character and lots of history here. We serve pub classics and a selection of seafood.

“As for drinks, we have a variety of ciders, lagers, and ales. And the atmosphere is really nice here, it’s always filled with locals.”

People praise the coastal pub for its tasty fish pie, dog-friendly atmosphere, and excellent breakfast.

A review from this month said: “Unquestionably one of the best, if not the best coastal pub in the county.

“As ever, the food was served piping hot and carefully prepared. The staff were attendant but not intrusive and their attention to detail regarding food allergies was some of the best I’ve encountered.

“The fish pie was plentiful and delicious. The bruschetta starter was garlicky and a meal in itself.”

“I highly recommend the salmon and scrambled eggs dish. The kids loved the American pancakes. This place is definitely worth a visit.
