We would like to say a big thank you to Vicki, Mitch and Morgan along with all the other staff at The Golf. We held a wake there on 9 January. And nothing was too much trouble for them. They were all so friendly and accommodating. The food was plentiful and delicious. The occasion went very well thanks to the efficient and kind service you all provided. We really appreciate everything you did. Many thanks, Sheila, Chris and Kenneth

I put my dad up in here when he comes over. It does the job and is close by. Doesn’t cost much for a night. Pretty quiet and beds are okay for comfort. Curtains could do with a wash and bathroom renovating. Some damp water patches about but it’s expected for size of building. Enjoy it! My dad always does! We prefer it to others on same road

Great village pub in a lovely setting. The menu was really good and you didn’t have to have a roast if you didn’t want to as there were other choices available . You could have roast beef , roast pork or roast turkey or a combination of all 3. Served with a Yorkshire , roast potatoes and a nice selection of vegetables . Plenty of gravy which is great as I hate having to ask for more. Lovely friendly staff and great service. Looking forward to my next visit .

Perfect place for a short sea escape get away to unwind. Sea front location, fantastic, warm and cosy quiet room with comfortable beds, fresh good food and the most important very welcoming staff! We stayed with my daughter here to celebrate her 16th birthday and we felt welcomed from the start. In our room there were waiting a surprise gifts for her with balloon included! and staff didn’t want me to pay for it. On the evening there was a nice entertainment, singing group in the traditional, well kept pub downstairs and in the morning we got a good selection of breakfast, we opted for a full English breakfast. Definitely I really recommend The Wash & Tope for a sea escape. We will come back. Thank you!!!

Sadly we had the skate and it tasted so bad it could not be eaten. I asked the waiter to check and he said the kitchen said it came in fresh that day and was fine. The smell was so bad. No refund offered. I have never had skate before so did not know if that was the terrible taste and smell. Having looked it up it seems this strong amonia smell is ftom fresh fish but to get rid of this taste and smell it should be left for 24 hrs and soaked in milk etc. put me off for life and put me off returning. It was really pungent in taste and smell. A shame as I have been there quite a few times It cost a fair bit for something we only had a couple of mouthfuls. Sorry but we should of been offered a refund on this one meal. The other meals were fine. The owner will need to look at honest reviews and up his game with the chef and when a customer complains and just wants honesty, or he will risk losing his business.

Christmas lunch v good. Warm welcome from friendly attentive staff. Excellent service & food ( many people needed ‘doggie bags’).Diners in good spirits. Only criticism, no heating on so rather cool temperature, towards end of meal several guests put their coats on. Would still recommend this place. Thank you to all who made Christmas Dat a pleasure for us. Happy New Year

Went down for the football with my partner great atmosphere food was lovely great value for money great service Ryan was so helpful

Very nice Sunday dinner, the gravy was top tier and convinced they use bovril or something in it, was delicious, ordered pork, only things I would say disappointed with are below: Pork roast gravy was all over therefore made crackling soggy (this is my own preference and may work for others) as before the though the gravy was amazing so it wasn’t enough to put us off as the meat and everything else was amazing. Cauliflower could do with improvement as very dry however portion size was big! But the roast as a whole was just tasty, all the veg etc that came with it was great! Staff were great and attentive.

Had a great meal for my Sister in Law’s birthday. Staying nearby at Wagtails and really recommend this pub. Friendly staff, lovely food.

Went on impulse for Sunday lunch to see what the new owners had done with the place . No suprises on the decor front which is always pleasant but they plan a shutdown to revamp the place in the near future . We had lunch and it was really lovely at resonable prices and the staff and service were brilliant . Will be returning for sure , thank you .

Felt very comfy and warm with the log burner going. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing will definitely come back again.

It’s a nice little pub with a huge garden so great for summer! However, I took my 91 year old Nan and it was a bit claustrophobic for her, the seats were in were a bit low for the table as well and she’s diddy now so it was hard for her to eat her meal. The food was nice, wouldn’t say it’s the best roast I’ve had but worth a try, I had the pork which was nice some parts a bit tougher and Nan had chicken which was nice! Staff were lovely and polite 😊

Worst fish I have ever eaten The batter tasted dreadful it was not cooked enough. Inside still raw batter. The fish was bland and watery had no taste at all. Defo was not cod. Waited ages, my fish was cooked 20mins before it was served to me and was just warm. Need another member of staff to serve. Most of the food ready and cooked just sitting in warming area until this one chap was able to serve.

Super food and friendly service. The portions were huge (and delicious, I loved my chicken curry) and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We attended for a family member’s 70th birthday and they allowed us to bring our own cake and decorate before hand. We recieved a discount because of staying in the local air bnb, which was another bonus! We would definitely visit again, but unfortunately we do not live locally, however, I would recommend The Criss Keys to anyone else staying locally.
