Very pleasant staff, easy to order.

Lovely table looking out to the sea.

Will definitely be going back for fish and chips as it looked lovely.

Not good service

Lovely afternoon with afternoon tea however the girl serving us did not offer us more tea or drinks in fact I had to keep asking and then the teapot turned up with no milk so had to ask.her again.  I have been before for an afternoon tea and it was faultless.

Ruined birthday meal

Very disappointed!

got our order wrong twice. No apology!

burgers were tasteless. Tea was Luke warm as was the food. Ordered a naked jacket potato for health reasons for a 90 year old lady and received a normal jacket potato. Was told that's the only potatoes they had!

ordered 2 side salads. Only received one. Was told well I can't give you the second one as you didn't pay for it! Re ordered but my meal was then cold.

with a total bill of over £100 for 6 of us I expected better service and food!  Trying year for my friend and really wanted to treat her to a nice meal. Sadly it didn't happen. So very disappointed. I now know why there weren't many people eating here!
