    Sunday lunch was fabulous. Very tasty generous portion. Crispy kale was delicious and an unusual vegetable to be served. Meat very tender and plenty of gravy. Will return asap thanks.

    Lovely riverside pub with tables on many levels and outdoors, looking out over the water. Dog friendly, and with a good gluten free choice on the menu. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food was all fresh, well presented and really tasty.

    A lovely spot on the estuary. It would be hard to beat re location. Be aware that parking could be a challenge. They are dog friendly which is fabulous. The food is very good. The service was good although we did go when quiet. Overall, I would definitely recommend. We have been a few times when we are here on holiday. And we would go back again and again.
