| I used to think that this was the best pub in the world. I 'drank' there for over 20years until the new Asian Bar Manager decided to tell customers that I was was a 'shirt lifter' a*se bandit (gay) so I don't go there any more for fear of getting arrested for punching a halfwitted personalityless fecker's lights out... What more can I say...? Don't go there if you have an oversion to tw**s This was my experience... js12345 - 15 May 2011 00:40 |
| A pretty decent pub overall without being "a must". The beer choice is nothing to write home about. But was in good condition. Personally didn't like the look of the conservatory restaurant. "Traditionally" low ceiling bar area. Garden quite big and views of the sea about 50 metres away. Worth a visit if in locality though for me The Ship Inn is better. mklw - 3 May 2011 15:08 |
| Nice enough Pub, pity the locals sit all round the bar then look annoyed if you work your way between them to get served. PBS - 11 Apr 2011 12:24 |
| I recently had lunch there, good menue, good setting, but it was spoilt by the pub's two black cats who were sunbathing in the restaurant. Despite being ejected twice one ended up washing it's backside in the middle of one of the tables! jazzylady - 10 Dec 2010 13:28 |
| This is a very nice old pub full of locals as it should be. It has a great atmosphere of the traditional English local pub. There are 3 real ales, Adnams Broadside, Abbott and I forgot what the other one was. All were very tasty and well kept. The locals in the pub are friendly and like to banter with the bar man Sid (I think his name was). I didn't have any food but my parents inform me it is very good and they do the traditional things you want like liver and bacon!! My most memorable part of the visit was when I was at the bar getting my beers and a local banged on the bar so the bar man stuck his head round and said 'alright I'll be there in a minute!'. I love that sort of thing. Oh and dogs are most welcome so don't be suprised if you trip over a few. This is probably one of the best examples of a traditional English pub so you must visit it.
