Gorgeous food and beautifully presented, I given dipped into the kids chicken wings and desserts ! I had the squid rings to start and they were everything squid rings should be and more, soft in the middle and with light crisp coating resting on a pomodoro sauce with a pesto drizzle, for my main I chose the mussels cooked in a white, cream and basil sauce they were simply devine, the mussels are served with home style wheaten bread and butter so you can soak up all the lovely sauce, my friend ordered the fish cake to start and the seafood risotto for her main, I couldn’t fault either, presentation, taste and a generous size serve, I’m am definitely having the fish cake on my return. Our other friend had the hake with prawns on a bed of smooth mash potato with a cream, wine and chive sauce, I took photos to post to show how it speaks for itself, but I can’t seem to post them however it was delicious you will just have to take my word for it …
Now for the desserts the steaming apple crumble was light and very moreish but my spoon was pushed away by the kids it came with a vanilla bean ice cream, the chocolate torte was divinely decadents as was the chocolate ice cream, smooth, creamy and dark …
I also loved the chips and the chicken wings Oohhhh la la, so great food, service and very well priced what more could one ask for… I know home delivery as I would never cook again!

I was here 2 years ago for dinner one evening which was very enjoyable — cozy pub and nice seafood. So I was looking forward to a long overdue revisit when I came here for lunch but my was I disappointed! The waitresses were very friendly but we were ages waiting for our order to be taken and our drinks to be brought to the table (seemed to be some mix up). When the food came it was under seasoned and in the case of our salmon, overcooked and the beef pie was poorly presented. Also have to say, very small selection of seafood mains to pick from considering where it’s located. Overall left very underwhelmed.
