This is a very cute place with great views. Food was good and well prepared I had the fish and chips. Service was friendly and they were competent. My only feedback is that some of the tables inside were very close together.

The steaks were extremely salty and inedible. Triple cooked chips were just standard chips. Salads were very sadly seasoned. Beetroot starter had so much vinegar, it was inedible. The cheese plate thankfully wasn’t salted - great achievement , hats off to the chef that didn’t touch that dish. The table was outside in a little tent - no air, very cold, no waiters coming in a regular basis. Absolutely appalling experience.

We booked the early bird menu. However, on arrival this had been changed to a more expensive Christmas dinner menu even though we were still in November. The hotel had not advised us before of the change. We opted for a pod outside but this was quite a squeeze and more like a shed with windows. Food was lovely and the staff were great. Wouldn’t have gone so early if we knew the early bird had been cancelled.
