Harbour Inn in Dumfries & Galloway

Came here for a drink on my first night arriving in Garlieston, restaurant very busy so decided to book for a meal the following night, was still full from a battered sauaage supper from Newton Stewart!! Staff all very welcoming and pleasant. Lovely old small bar at front, and lots of tables and benches outside to enjoy an evening dusk pint and relax. Food was ok, restaurant very busy, was taken into table at the back room but this seemed to be where all the children are, music pretty loud so not that relaxing, ask for a table at the front part if you can. Would gladly eat in again, wasnt rushed and evening nicely finished off with a leisurely pint in the back garden

Visited for food and drinks during our week long stay in Garlieston. Staff were attentive and welcoming. We dined in the bar and also ordered a takeaway, on all occasions the food and service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Lovely location; spacious bedrooms with harbour views; good pub grub; a friendly welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit despite Covid's best efforts to put a dampener on things.

Booked an hour ahead , lovely food. pleasant atmosphere and good friendly service. Fish and chips as it should be served with great soup and desert

We had a wonderful lunch here on our first visit to the area. All staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Drinks were of a high standard and all at a good price.

Arrived on Wednesday for a two night stay - room was much bigger than we had thought it would be with an excellent view - had a fabulous two nights sleep in one of the best beds ever ! Staff were extremely welcoming and food was superb - would highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay again if we are ever in the area

Our meal here was excellent! We had steak pie, mac and cheese, and sea bass. The meat in the pie was tender and juicy. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy and perfect consistency. The sea bass was very fresh and perfectly cooked. For dessert, I chose the Scottish tablet ice cream. This was like a sundae, with tablet in the bottom and vanilla ice cream on top. Was delicious. And all pretty reasonably priced. Staff all very friendly and attentive, and all covid related guidelines etc followed.

We stayed in Garlieston for a week and ate in here 5 nights out of 7. Food is superb, staff are amazingly friendly and going the extra mile to provide whatever you require. Dog friendly, even go out of their way to encourage dogs. Would highly recommend this pub if staying in the area. 10/10 Harbour Inn

We had eaten lunch at The Harbour In the day before, the service and food was excellent so we looked forward to attending for our evening meal the next day !! Well the two visits could not have been so diffferent !!! The restauarant was not busy, we were seen to promptly and food order placed. Between ordering our food and it turning up was a joke !!! The staff it would appear have been programmed to look after regulars and people they know - which was clear when our main courses turned up and we hadnt had our starter !!! The waitress offered to keep our meal warm until we had our main courses !!! NO !!! recook the main courses once we have had the starter !!! Waitress who took our order couldnt even look us in the face as she fannied about hotel guests and people she knew !!! My daugther works in a busy eatery and can look after 20 covers on her own no problem because she has been trained well and understands that customers pay her wages and give her good tips for the service and professionalism she displays !!! Only tip I have for The Harbour Inn waiting staff is dont bother turning up if all you are interested in is chatting and cuddling your regulars, all customers matter !!!

I recommend booking as there aren't many pubs in the area sadly and there is a near by campervan park. We did the local walk to Craggleston Castle then returned for lunch. I had the beer battered fish and chips and it was one of the nicest fish I've had, really crispy batter. 1 real ale, Belhaven 80 shilling. A beer garden out the back but too cool for that today.

Its the only restaurant for miles around so it is very busy. We tried to book a table but unfortunately fully booked!

Visited whilst staying in Garlieston. Phoned the day before to book, left a voicemail, but no return call. Managed to book a table eventually. Food was good and plentiful . We were served by a total of 4 waitresses. Same waitress forgot to bring the dessert menu when requested, she eventually remembered BUT the second pint my hubby ordered at the same time as dessert never materialised. He couldn’t be bothered to wait any longer and no one picked up on the fact there was an empty pint glass at the end of the table! I’d finished my wine by then so we paid and left. It was a shame because some of the other waitresses seemed far more diligent.

We have visited many times before over the years, but felt that the Harbour Inn, while still excellent, isn't quite as good as it was.They have careful coronavirus precautions in place and good social distancing between tables.However, we felt the menu was not as good. We did find something to eat but it just didn't seem as fresh and creative as before. We will definitely return but I hope the limited menu choice was a temporary thing.

We were really looking forward to eating here after the reviews but it didn't live up to expectations. Service was slow and we waited a very long time for drinks although we did receive an apology as they had forgotten. Staff were friendly and explained they were really busy as there was a birthday party in another room. Food was ok but nothing special, the fish was fresh and a good portion but the batter was very oily. I think we were just unlucky.

Called with my wife last Thursday for dinner and we weren't dissapointed, the food along with the service and price was fantastic. We ate outside and there was ample space between all of the tables. Well done to all concerned, we will definitely look to go back again in the future.

Great value, excellent location with some stunning beaches nearby. Very good value, honest home cooked food in the pub. Apartment was very clean with everything you need including washing machine. Some of the furniture is cheap/dated but it is comfy and clean. Entrance stairway way is not the most appealing but considering the price of well below £100 a night for four people we felt it was excellent value and the staff were fantastic and friendly. I Would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet get away surrounded by fantastic views and beaches. Thank you very much for a lovely stay :)

We had a lovely lunch in the beer garden in this dog friendly pub.We hadn't booked, but were still fitted in. The staff were fantastic, and so was the food. My partner had the turkey carvery, I had steak pie. Had to wait a wee while but didn't mind at all as we were seated in the sun. Highly recommended, lovely pub, extremely friendly staff, hope to be back next year. Thank you all at the Harbour Inn! And Killie, The huge dog thanks you for the bowls of water!

Wat een heerlijke Inn. Het gebouw al meer dan 200 jaar oud. Goede pub met gezelligheid, karakter en top personeel.Vriendelijk en gastvrij, zowel bediening, keuken en eigenaar.Het eten is geniaal!Het enige wat minder was, voor ons betreft, was het kings-size bed. Dit was erg zacht.Verder een zeer grote aanbeveelt, zeler gezien de prachtige locatie.

Whilst on a short weekend break visited the Harbour Inn for lunch and a couple of evening meals. Food wonderful. Stayed one night in a double room overlooking the estuary. Lovely views, comfortable bed, great shower, breakfast great.. The owner Harry and all his staff go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Excellent service.

Ordered from takeout menu, vegan cheeseburger, kids had fish and chips, onion rings were amazing and the tablet ice cream is to die for! 10:10 highly recommended

Lunch here was excellent. Owner had plenty of good banter and very knowledgeable about the local area. Definitely would recommend.

Whilst on a visit to The gorgeous garlieston bay we stumbled across The Harbour Inn. What a lovely place, staff so friendly , lovely outdoors beer garden at the back , ( dog friendly )with all social distancing in place . Food was delicious . We will definitely return

At the busiest time of the year (Hogmanay) with the place bursting at the seams, we were served excellent food, good portions and at a reasonable price. The staff were always pleasant and had a smile on their faces!

Food was great and plenty of it and staff very friendly great atmosphere would recommend to anyone it's well worth a visit

Very warm and welcoming, very dog friendly, the food was excellent, wide choice with a varied menu all freshly prepared in the premises, the apple crumble and custard was outstanding, the best we've ever had. The staff very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble, would highly recommend.

We arrived after they had stopped food service, however the kitchen staff stayed to feed us, the food was excellent and the service even better. Highly recommended

Went for a meal tonight and all I can say is amazing, fabulous. Had the most delicious soup, cheese, bacon and cheese burger with chilli chips. Wow wow wow loved it. Thank you Laura (I believe it was you in the kitchen tonight). Always great service from the fabulous Wendy. It was the best ever.

Visited again & wasn't disappointed, food, service & prices still great. Will be back on my next visit to the area.

Those of us who are sufficiently fortunate to have the 'Harbour Inn' on our doorstep throughout the year are never surprised at its popularity when the holiday season commences such is the ever present warmth on entering from all who pleasantly service this place, until leaving. Yesterday evening held no exception. The weekly tempting variety menu apart, Friday seafood specials from our experience provide succulent 'Starters' and spoilt-for-choice 'Mains'. "How about":- Cajun spiced fillet of Halibut with oven roasted vegetables, lime and parsley butter with a choice of side order. (That beautifully cooked dish really 'hit the spot') My wife thoroughly enjoyed 'Pan seared fillet of Sole' served with Haggis mash potato, cheddar and (Arran whisky sauce thoughtfully served separately) with a side of vegetables. Thank you all at the 'Harbour Inn' for the past 12 months of 'Friday Seafood Specials' and now looking forward to the next twelve months. (- lack of 'foody photos' I'm afraid. It's taken several years for me to appreciate that my photographs never ever reflect the amount of effort in presentation nor convey the lovely aromas or flavour)

Our second new year visit to the village and this pub.From the moment you walk in through the door you know you have found a real gem.We are a family of four with two teenage children and a dog-We were all warmly welcomed and made to feel at home.We ate twice but visited most days on our week long stay.The food is fantastic-I had a steak with Blue cheese sauce cooked perfectly.The Harbour Inn "Gold" must have something in it as the first pint doesn't touch the sides and you have to have at least two more just to confirm how good it is !But the real draw is the people-We visited when it was quiet and also when it was packed to the rafters on New years Day.Without exception every single member of staff ensured we were looked after and welcomed us as if we were family.The locals were similarly friendly and sociable.Thanks for making our holiday such a pleasure.

Great wee night out. Lenny the Quizmaster set some cracker questions. The bar staff were lovely and funds were raised for charity. Thanks Lenny and everyone at the Harbour Inn for a great wee night...will be back for a MOT!

My parent and my husband spent the night here. Every room has a view of the sea. The staff is very friendly and efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace in the bar and our rooms. The staff was very attentive

Over priced pub meals and noisy.

We were staying at the Caravan Club site which is just a stone's throw away from this fantastic establishment. Arrived in the Saturday and went for a late afternoon drink. The staff and locals are very friendly and wecoming. Had a couple of drinks and decided we would book a table for the Sunday carvery the next day. We were so glad we did as the food and value for money was excellent.

As the sole eatery and watering hole in this harbour village, you could easily think that they don't have to try to hard.... however this could not be further away from the truth. What a little gem!!

pleasant welcome from all the staff, nice and flexible over children's portions, famtastic value Sunday roast, nice sweet courses esp terrific and plentiful homemade crumble. Only modest note would be couple of the veg but that's to be expected with Sunday carvery depending when you come.

We throughly enjoyed our visit. Friendly staff and excellent food. I skipped the starter but my husband had the Haggis Balls which were excellent. To follow I had a small fish and chips and was glad I had not chosen have the medium or large, mine was more than adequate. Chicken dippers were the choice of my husband and he pronounced them delicious. We shared an ice cream dessert to finish. While the prices proved to be reasonable it would be good to see them on the menu on the website just for peace of mind before booking.

Visited The Harbour Inn for early dinner on a mid week evening and the staff managed to squeeze us in as most tables were reserved. I had a really good burger (chicken and haggis) and my wife chose a large haddock and chips. Well, when the meals were served I had food envy as the fish really looked superb. There was choice of normal fish, or large (which is what she had for) £11 and an extra large for £14, which quite frankly must be enormous.

Had a lovely meal in the harbour inn while on holiday in Garlieston. Such friendly staff and dog friendly. Well worth a visit to this lovely inn, if you are in the area.

First time in the area ad booked a Sunday Carvery Lunch here. Great welcome for a drink at the bar, then onto a nice table by the window overlooking the harbour. Super food particularly the Lamb, all locally produced. Staff are a great asset here and so cheery ,polite and helpful.

Great location. Good food. Good value. Good friendly staff - We were very impressed. Will call again if in the are. 10 out of 10 . Thank you.....

We were staying on the nearby campsite and on recommendation, we booked in for the carvery. So pleased we did. The staff were all welcoming and friendly; the food was excellent and our dog was welcomed too. What more can you ask. We'll be back.

What a great pub ! Dog friendly - great selection of beers, wines and spirits - great menu, with vegan, veggie and dairy free options - friendly locals - in short, just about everything you could ask for in a pub. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into what their customers might want and have delivered in style - many thanks for your hospitality and may you always be the great community pub that you are !

Great little old pub with restaurant room, situated in lovely small seaside village. Excellent meal. I had the 'Cock and Bull' in a mushroom sauce with proper chips and tobacco onions. Wish I was going again tomorrow !

Very warm welcome, friendly staff, good food on the evening and breakfast. Would recommend the Harbour Inn to anyone visiting. Dog friendly Beautiful views of the coast. On plus it has a history to do with WW2 Will be coming back.

We stayed at the Harbour inn and had all our meals there. There is a great variety on the menu, the prices are reasonable and the portions are very generous. On top of that, the staff were delightful. If you're in the area it's well worth a visit.

A lovely old pub serving good food by friendly staff. We had a weeks holiday at the caravan club site and had Sunday Carvery then went to the fish night on Friday night and really enjoyed it all plus the staff are very friendly too.

Stayed at caravan site for 10 nights and visited the Harbour most days. Fantastic food in this dog friendly pub/restaurant, staff are excellent and couldn’t be more helpful. If you don’t like dogs then it might not suit you.

Couldn't fault a thing, food wonderful, room immaculate, staff helpful and friendly and the location heaven

Staff and customers very friendly we stayed on caravan site very good for walking. We didn't haven't any meals this time but we have in the past and they have been good and hot.

The food was excellent, the best carvery we've had for a long time. Staff were friendly and efficient. No hanging about waiting for service. You need to book as so popular.

Lovely evening meal food lovely and staff very friendly place is a fabulous little gem on a lovely area for walks and kayaking.

Went here for dinner and found the service and food really good. Menu had lots of choice with specials also available. Had steak pie and it was really tasty. This is not haute cuisine but good honest grub.

Average food in a setting with little charm. The bar is full of character but both restaurants fail to meet what I expected from the outside of the pub. Staff were great and very helpful but the food was no better than average. We had been meaning to go for a few years, but won't be back.

This is a little late having stayed in early June ,Stayed one night to dine with friends ,Very nice hotel ,very busy ,and a pleasant place to stay .We had booked a table which was the right thing to do given how busy it was .

We turned up and quickly realised we should have booked and after you eat here you realise why it’s busy!, the menu is quite varied and has enough to cover most tastes and the kids menu is good value too, and all the meals we ordered were all well cooked, well presented and served quickly, It’s always nice to see familiar face faces too when you go somewhere different as you know you made the right choice to give it a try. The outside is deceptive as the inside is very spacious with plenty of tables. I’ve already booked to go back for the Sunday carvery.

We visited the Harbour Inn last evening having booked a table in their restaurant. The food was great and the staff very attentive. Wish we lived nearer so we could visit more often.

We turned up late last night, just after they had stopped serving food, fully expecting to be away. Instead we were greeted with a warm welcome and "we'll see what we can do." Soon afterwards we were tucking into steak pie - good quality meat, nicely cooked, then proper homemade banoffee pie to follow. The staff displayed a great attitude which was a credit to the place and greatly appreciated. Happy to recommend.

Very welcoming local inn serving great and reasonably priced evening meals.All staff were superb. Lovely atmosphere and booking in summer is sensible.

The inn was seconds away from where we were staying - The View. It was just lovely. The staff were so warm and welcoming. We went in for drinks and enjoyed really lovely blethers with other holiday makers and locals. We also went in for lunch. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch - warm and plenty of it. The food was very well priced and presented.

Fantastic dinner,fish was superb only got the large one and that was Moby's wee brother by the looks if it..The macaroni was also scoffed.The haggis n tattie scone stack and haggis balls were great starters.Nice Harbour Inn IPA to wash them down.Very friendly staff,aye a braw place to eat.

Girlfriend and I stopped for a quick lunch after a walk round the costal path and botanical garden. Food was very nice and the staff were very welcoming, prices are good to. Mixture of lite bites and big meals.

My wife and I went for a meal here when we stayed at the nearby Caravan site as it was recommended.My wife had the fish and I had the fish pie both were fine apart from the pie had the smallest prawns I have seen and could have used a spoon to eat them however I did finish the lot off.The fish was of a fair size but had a hard bit on the spine of the fish which my wife had to leave on her plate.The staff were really friendly and the place was quite full in main to the Caravan site next door.A really nice wee place to spend sometime in with an open fire in the bar.

Lovely location on a summer's afternoon. Dog friendly dining.choice of menu some changes can be made to menu for gluten free. Friendly staff and host. Bed and breakfast available too.

This pub/restaurant gets a lots a lot of business from the nearby caravan site, and as such has good throughput of customers. The food is well prepared pub food, and the staff arfe very friendly. Good range of beers and wines. When you cannot be bothered preparing a caravan meal then this is the place to come.

Visiting Sorbie Tower from the US and was recommended to Harbour Inn. The staff was very accommodating, the service exceptional and the food fantastic. I do hope to return one day.

Went today for a spot of Sunday lunch..made we come from entering the pub..best service ever staff could not do enough superb ..well done to the staff

Staying down the road so thought we’d try out the food. Good choice, friendly service, changing specials. Steaks excellent, sides great and rhubarb crumble amazing! Came back for a second night! Recommend booking a table.

On a lovely sunny day we took a drive to Garlieston. We had heard about the Harbour Inn so decided to give it a go for lunch. So glad we did, it was super.

Our second visit and no complaints from us. The skillet meals looked fab but we chose other items, DH and DS1 enjoyed traditional fish n chips... huge portions, I had monkfish skewered on rosemary served on a tasty and filling pearl barley rissoto and DS2 opted for macaroni cheese which he polished off.

Just returned from a terrible experience at the Harbour Inn. We had high hopes for this establishment given the recent good reviews. We both decided to plump for the carvery, as we were not keen on the standard menu items which sounded a bit like a motorway service station menu. We had to leave our table and walk past the toilet corridor and into another room to collect our food, We probably realised on first sight that this was not going to go well as the food looked rather like school dinners. We both decided to give the roast beef a try. The lady struggled to carve it it was so tough. A lady who we think was the owner had to help pull the end away...then two tiny slithers were allocated to me, .A Yorkshire pudding was then flung on to my plate, two roast potatoes and help yourself carrots and peas. We then made our way back from the other room to the main restaurant and started to eat. Everything apart from the meat was cold. The meat was as expected, completely overdone. I can’t describe the roast potatoes, so I won’t try to. We called over a waitress to tell her and she said well no one else has complained. There was no attempt by any of the owners to come to the table and so we asked the waitress if we could pay for the drinks. We told us to pay for them at the bar, which we did. Very disappointing.

Worth booking to eat here on Fridays, as the chef cannot tell you what will be on the menu until the fish arrives on the Thursday. We had fish kebabs and fish soup (more like a stew) as starters, followed by mixed fish crumble and lemon sole with samphire and smoky bacon mash.Good to see monkfish, pollock and coley on a menu for a change. Good varied menu available if you don't like fish, the staff were friendly nd helpful.

Great Fish & Chips followed by yummy Sticky Toffee pudd with ice cream washed down with Harbour Inn Ale and looked after by excellent staff. Thank you team Harbour Inn - we had a great cycle down, overnight camp and loaded up for the next days cycle back.

Excellent food, would recommend it on food alone but staff were very friendly, chatty and helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

We were hugely impressed with the menu especially the veggie/vegan and gluten free section. I do eat fish so opted for it on this occasion but on our next visit I sm trying the veggie haggis/ tattie stack!

An extremely busy pub both with locals and visitors. Booking is a must. Staff were very pleasant and very hard working. Food was very god and a good choice. We visited twice during our week's stay. All tables were reserved on both occasions.

We found this little place after a lovely morning spent at Galloway House Gardens. Popped in for a drink and a sandwich. Beer was great, sandwich and spicy wedges very tasty and such lovely friendly staff too.

Popped in for lunchtime snack, had cheese and onion toasties which arrived with a side salad. Cost £4.50 each. This is a dog friendly pub as long as it is on a lead and stays on the floor.

What a delightful place, attention to detail was second to none. I was traveling to visit family nearby and booked this two bed apartment which is separate from the hotel. On arrival we were shown to the property by a young staff member, there was tea, coffee, milk, bread, bacon, sugar, butter, jam, fruit scones and biscuits left for us. All usual toiletries and clean towels. All white goods washing machine, fridge, microwave, Hoover, iron, ironing board. Staff couldn’t have done enough for us, we’ll definitely be back. We are a retired couple and enjoy our privacy without being isolated and this certainly suited us down to a tee.

Popped in for lunch, staff were very friendly and food was very tasty! Already planning a return trip!

Stayed self catering at Garlieston and used the Harbour Inn for a couple of meals and a drink most night. Great quality great value great welcome and very dog friendly.

Ate here twice while we were on the campsite. Very friendly, good service good menu and the food was tasty. In particular the vegetarian/vegan menu was excellent with plenty of choice. A real revelation in a small village pub.

I had reservations about staying somewhere so quiet but I was so wrong. The pub was great, the locals and staff so friendly I wish we could have stayed longer. The food was good and a huge choice so well done will certainly come back

The Harbour Inn is a cosy bar full of character - we loved the open fire. The bar meals were delicious - good portions for a reasonable price. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The inn really added to our stay in Garlieston.

Great meal and prompt service, I had sea bass daily special and other half had hunters chicken. Both were delicious. We decided on dessert but was just too full after our main to finish. I had the strawberry cheese cake and other half had chocolate fudge cake. A great meal and the merlot was great!

6 of us dashed there to arrive at just gone 8.30pm but they were very accommodating to serve us very quickly, with friendly staff .

Well quick 6 miles popped in for lunch great food great service and the local brew is lush... The steak pie was more steak than pie and the fish more whale... Both excellent... Staying for a few, more ales... Could.get messy!!!! Well worth a visit anytome

Have stayed in Garlieston in campervan a couple of times and always pop in here for glass of something and food and never disappointed. Warm and welcoming for us and dogs, food is always great and just love the veggie options. Seafood always fresh and delicious. And q family run business too which is good to support. Highly highly recommend.

Had been out for a walk at nearby gardens with the dog, and popped in on the chance they were dog friendly. Made to feel very welcome, as was our dog! Lovely pub grub, good sized portions, friendly staff and locals. Will definitely return.

we opted for the harbour inn somewhere ive dined at before so we went bar was quite busy as was dining room but wendy got us a table and gave us a warm welcom the place is clean and has a well stocked bar and a wide menu we opted for the carvery which offered roast pork /beef and turkey with wide selection of sides the deserts of the day were also delicious we definatly will return here especially with the quality of the food and great service from our server wendy and the rest of the team

Whilst visiting the caravan park regularly, we always make time to visit the pub. Great food, fantastic atmosphere and dogs welcome, a huge plus point for us as we have 4!

Very friendly pub/restaurant......very dog friendly, unusual beers, extensive menu, very warm and inviting. Would highly recommend.

Not to detract from the daily menu but yesterday was a welcome return of the 'Friday Evening Seafood Specials Menu' following a break during December over the Christmas and New Year festivities. The usual high standard of cheerful pleasant service from Laura on entering the 'pub' continued through to Wendy and Rachel in the dining room.

Just stayed locally over the New year period very close to this lovely pub and restaurant.

We arrived on a Saturday night and thought that we would get a table no problem given that it was November but the pub was packed full of locals all celebrating something. We managed to get a table and the food was served by a friendly local girl who chatted to us while serving us our delicious food. I can’t pick one plate over the other as all four plates were delicious. We went to the bar where the friendly locals made us feel really welcome. Would I go back? You bet. I can’t wait.

Not just a pub in an idyllic location but, the staff hospitality is second to none. The food is lovely especially the Sunday Carvery. What is worth a mention is on our trip this time my wife had a bad leg and was having a job to walk. I just happened to mention this to the landlord who said "Hold on a minute let me have a look out the back" A few minutes later he came back holding a stick! "Will this do?" Perfect, I said. We also attended their Free Halloween Disco which had a fantastic DJ who sang as well and there were free nibbles provided. This pub adds value to their customers and is a real asset to the Borders.

Went for a few beers n have supper the pub is nice n cosy with coal fire roaring awa in the back ground. We ordered were food n the bar as we had the dog along with us from the campsite. Went through the house to the seAted area for food it was fantastic food thank god we only ordered mains as they were massive

We were staying at the local caravan park. Popped into pub after lovely walk. Got warm welcome as did the dog! My husband had steak pie beautiful flake pasty and succulent beef! I had the fish pie. Just missed a wee bit off seasoning but I added it at the table. Very good crack in bar after meal with the dominoes gang! Haven’t laughed so much in a wee bar for a long time. Well done all.

Very good quality pub food , great service very friendly.Plenty of seats good children's menu.The steak pie and fruit crumble were particularly tasty.

We were back in the area again on holiday after an 18 month abscense. The last time we visited here it was excellent in both Food, Drink and a good Craic. The problem they have is it is such a good pub is how can they improve it and the answer is they dont need to. They have added a Fish on Friday Menu with varied sea-food but the fire is still there, super dog friendly, Superb Harbour Ale and Guinness. Nothing fazes them the host Harry and his Son Frankie are genial, welcoming and you are at home in an instant. This is not a Gastro Pub with ever more outlandish dishes, they focus on being a pub with Steaks, Fish and Chips, Pies and a choice of about 4 wines. Nothing is too much trouble, their staff are hassle free and actually believe in customer service, Laura is outstanding. The locals are mostly quite mad or they are sane and the visitor is mad, I am still not quite sure but it is enormous fun finding out. One of the best Locals I have been into and I have been into a few.
