Had a steak sandwich and a pint of cruz for 13.50 for the lunch special was lovely, cooked perfect for me. The land lady’s were very welcoming and made the pub like a second home. Will be back again

Great pub if you want a pint with a great atmosphere and a good view of the harbour. However we decided to eat there and I was really ill for 2 days.
Im sure my scampi was very under cooked.

Informed there was a 40 min delay on food, waited for well over a hour and 15 mins before one of our party had to leave, cancelled the ordered, no apology..the rest of our party left a got a take out on the way home. Absolutely poor service. Avoid for food even though we booked a table for 18.30.
The wait was fair to long.
People need to realise that you pay for service not just the food.
It is as a Friday night of course it was going to be busy, increase your staff at busy times ie Fridays and the weekends.
