Characterful olde English pub, thatched roof, wood beams etc. Great views across the harbour. Dog friendly. The food was the highlight though, exceptional!

Really fresh seafood. Plump salty oysters. Classic British decor. _Service was friendly and helpful__Everything you'd expect from a seaside quaint restaurant.
