As a proudly independent, family-run restaurant, we bring together over 50 years of expertise and the very freshest ingredients around to create a first-rate, affordable dining experience in Weston-super-Mare.

Our menus are refreshingly honest, simple and uncomplicated; we serve brilliant steaks and top-notch seafood and our daily specials are second-to-none. We’ve got a great selection of wines and our bar is stocked with locally-sourced ales, continental beers and small batch spirits. There's a great cocktail list too!

The restaurant itself offers the perfect mix of old and new… original features, period charm and the only remaining thatched roof in Weston-super-Mare, combined with a laid-back atmosphere and a really-very-cool, beach-facing terrace area complete with glowing fire pits.

A discretionary 10% service charge will be added for parties of 10 or more guests.

    Have being going for years the food was excellent and service good . Just feel the place has lost a little bit of atmosphere. We were there on a Saturday and by 2200 the feeling was they wanted to close and it all seemed a little rushed . I think if they can lift the vibe again it would be a 5 star venue as it always used to be

    Nice family meal with the teenage children. Service was good and the food was prepared well. Would recommend for steak (which 3 of us had).

    First time here so didn't know what to expect. The inside decor definitively did not match the outside. We thought being a thatched roof cottage the interior would have been a bit more rustic. The food was nice. The portions were a bit small for the price but the taste made it OK. The service was good but not always attentive.

    Really nice atmosphere and a good menu to choose from. Beautiful presentation and very tasty. Served with a smile. Bit pricey compared to most places in Weston but really worth it.
