“Came in at dinner time, steady stream of customers but not busy. Staff aren't particularly friendly and don't acknowledge customers when they come in. Bit unorganised, very long wait due to running out of chips with no communication or apologies for the wait (again...at peak time?). Food was ok, but nothing special, spoilt by the staffs attitude unfortunately.”

“Visited for the first time yesterday - was absolutely lush 😋 Amazing food and lovely, helpful staff. I finished it before I could take a photo after a long walk on the beach - will hopefully visit again 🙏 …”
