Very nice. Welcoming staff who were very pleasant. Menu was nice and food good quality. Three of us dined and two out of the three chose well and had lovely meals. Scallops to start and mussels main. I opted for catch of the day which was a baked plaice. It was swimming in oil and not great but that was just my taste. Overall a pleasant evening and would recommend and go back again.

My mother and I decided to use the small plates as a tapas rather than have a big meal and it was delicious. The Sardines are the best I’ve ever eaten but the quality of the food is experienced throughout the menu. The table was comfortable and well appointed and chairs comfortable.
On top of all the above, the staff were excellent, good service and helpful and polite staff make the dining experience all the more better. Well done to all who work there.

The location is brilliant for visiting Lulworth Cove. On arrival the staff couldn’t be more helpful. They seemed genuinely pleased to serve us without being intrusive. We had starters & main course - both were absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this venue for location, staff & food.
