"Popped in here for lunch while exploring for a fishing trip, and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. After a slump in post- Brexit shellfish exports to France the team here have been buying direct from the boats. Well done them. A very tasty fresh lunch and we were supporting local fishermen."

"Lucy was wonderful and helped us choose some starters, mains and side dishes to suit the varied tastes of our family. Food was frozen so that you can take it home, defrost and then eat when you want it. The food was amazing and had so much flavour to it. Definitely good value for money and would totally recommend!"
