Came to this wonderful location yesterday for lunch with my family and it was amazing. We were seated and served by Clare who was so lovely and friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. The food was wonderful, we had the calamari and the prawn cocktail for starters with the salmon and chicken pie for our mains and it was all spectacular. Well done to all the staff making it such a lovely meal 10/10!

Really nice, authentic pub just off a gorgeous view of the beach. The atmosphere is next level as the staff are more than accommodating. Not only does it have a vast choice of drinks, the food is amazing. Definitely recommend for food, drinks and all occasions. 10/10 all round!

Veg were raw, not eldente. Roast potatoes must have been yesterday's. The meat was OK. And a trickle of gravy. Not really what you expect for £20 from vintage inn's.

This place is located in a lovely spot right on the Tarka Trail with great views over the estuary.Very spacious with a huge outdoor space too and lots of tables.If you were walking fast or cycling on the Tarka Trail,you could easily pass by and not even realise it was there.I can't understand why they don't have signs and boards that the public can see,and do some promotions or specials to attract the many cyclists.We walks into the pub and a woman jumped out at us and asked can I help you.As it's a walk in pub,I can't see the point,very off putting tbh,not a warm or friendly place.We found a table and I went to the bar to order drinks.I asked for Gordon's gin and ordinary tonic.She poured a gin and topped it up with tonic from.a pull on the bar.Not offered bottled tonic,my husband didn't like the taste of it,I dont know what gin she served but I found out later they don't sell Gordon's but she never mentioned it No small bottles of Prosecco just a 125 mil glass offered at an extortionate price so I had a glass of Rosé instead which was quite nice.We both ordered the chicken and veg Penang curry which wasn't bad,a bit too much sticky rice.The 2 females and 1 male,just yakking all the time,very poor attitude towards the customers,and the one who jumped on us when we arrived was making such a noise banging the cups,saucers, coffee machine,that we got up and moved tables.The place has got so much potential but spoiled by the unfriendly staff with very poor customer service skills .We spent about £80 but as we left,all 3 staff behind the bar,one sitting on a stool ,yakking,no cheerio or thankyou.Whoever owns this place,your front of house are losing you money.I think they thought we were holiday makers,well we're not,haven't been here for a while so thought we'd try again.Needs a big shake up.

Went for Sunday lunch on the way home. Lovely staff and service and the food was ok, but not the biggest of portions for a roast, and the roast potatoes weren't roasted, still hard inside them.

Great venue, clean and tidy. Staff were friendly throughout my visit. The manger was welcoming customers when entering the venue and he made us feel very welcome. The food was brilliant and the waitress was lovely. Highly recommend this place and if the weather's good the gardens are simply stunning.

Was advised by a family member a visit was a must, beautiful setting beautiful food, service not good, after listening to a member of staff slating the company for being over worked during the summer months, he then proceeded to tell us we would not be able to use my sons discount that had already been accepted by the lady serving us! Miss communication she said but we though just rude, he couldn't be bothered to find out what happened or a suitable resolution!! Which really took away any positivity we thought of the pub!!! Won't be back!!!

I like this place. We’ve been a couple of times. They do a really nice roast dinner. Roast beef is very nice. The pork belly is particularly good. Last time I ordered the ‘trio’ which is all the meats and I should have ordered that again. Lots of roast veg. I love the gravy - salty and thick. Beautiful location. Service is very good and staff are lovely- though it gets very busy they seem to be on it all. And despite the rush a waitress came running after me as we left as I forgot my hat!

Originally booked for a meal, lots of items not in. OK this happens but there was a shortage of staff, ok again this happens. However antiquated way of queueing for a beer or food, with no structure. Such a shame as it lacked in atmosphere. 😔👎🏻so much scope missed out on.

Ok The food is not particularly expensive, but then it is of a poor quality. All the vegetables are far from fresh. The rest of the food differed from its description. Furthermore, we had to wait one hour for our food And when it did come, the waitress was surly and dismissive and refused to wipe our table. On the plus side, The bar staff were quite pleasant and sitting outside is quite nice.

And she yet again went above and beyond for us. She is an absolute asset to the whole restaurant and made us feel so well taken care of . Thank you Izzy and thank you to the whole team! Had the most wonderful meal for my birthday. The food was absolutely delicious and we had the most attentive waitress named Izzy. Her service was impeccable.
