Top notch traditional old world pub. Great ale and real bar maids, not vacuous students with piercings and tattoos. The toilets are worth a visit alone, where you can take a slash in 1970's Britain. Fantastic.
Old fashioned pub. But doesn't take card payments. You need to have a look at the decor in the toilets. The lady serving was nice and polite. BIG WARNING, beware of the speed bumps going into the car park
I really want to give this great old pub a good review. The lady behind the bar was lovely. The 1970s toilets were clean and a real blast from the past. Unfortunately the interior is a bit grubby and threadbare. They don't do food and on the evening we visited closing time was 7pm. Not ideal for a sea-side pub in the middle of summer.
Initially made to feel unwelcome and on the strength of that, wouldn't have gone back. There are three pubs in the town so we went back under duress as a pub crawl would be difficult otherwise. The Landlady was absolutely lovely and took on board our feedback. Just goes to show that sometimes you need to give a second chance. The toilets are awesome. If you have a love of brown seventies suites and tiles, this pub is for you. Give it a few years and they will be preserved as historically important.
Large open plan pub. Friendly enough. Perimeter seats not that comfy. Beer was cheap. Toilets are so dated they have come back into style. Hopefully they don’t get refurbished.
