    A beautiful place for lunch on one of the best beaches in Britain! Highly recommended in every respect: food, staff, atmosphere and environment.

    Location is perfect. You couldn’t ask for a better view. Food and options were delicious. Our visit was somewhat let down by the service, initially was good but the longer we were there the less timely the service became.

    Lovely setting and Sunday dinner was good. The cauliflower cheese was raw, I forgot to mention to the waitress but apart from that it was lovely.

    Great staff in a beautiful venue. The menu is not huge and is quite pricey for a beach lunch but everything was well cooked.

    Extras are expensive and menu very limited. Food very well presented and good. Table not cleared away after finishing the meal even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We waited quite a long time for desert to be ordered and when it came the main course was still not cleared. We will try again.
