We like it - nothing pretentious, pie and a pint country. Also, the portions are huge so it fills a family at a very reasonable cost when coming back from a day at the beach. Kitchens close early - 8.30 I think, so don't leave it too late.

I went there for a dinner and a few pints. Great value and great sized portions if your hungry from hiking. Has a very local feel. Will definitely be going there again.

Try here for great value, good service and large portions. Fish and chips 8 (Fri night special) .
Steak and chips with glass of wine 13 (Sat night special). I've eaten here for years and never had a sub par meal (it's not fancy but their chef knows what he's doing). They also have some very tempting (large) desserts.
"Pint of chocolate heaven" could give you diabetes just by looking at it. There's a large dining area, a beer garden and also a dining section for people with dogs.
Enjoy.
