Been here many of many of times and cannot recommend a better place to go to down by the coast. Food is amazing, staff are sweet and drinks are cheap. When I say food is amazing I mean AMAZING. Best fish and chips I’ver ever had and salt n pepper squid is just as good. Had my family have some “pub classic” and never any complaint.
