The staff were very accomodating and friendly. The food was excellent. The staff messed up one of the requests we made to a meal and were distraught about it when they realised. As soon as they did they immediately whipped the plate away and recooked it from scratch. It came back correct and along with profuse apologies they insisted we were not going to pay for it which we felt was above and beyond what they needed to do, fixing the mistake would have been fine. I hope I get the chance to eat here again!!

Booked a table for 5.30, but arrived early. The staff happily accommodated us on a table well away from others as we had our husky with us. Very friendly & attentive staff who tended to our every need & ensured our dog had a bowl of water at the table. The combo platter starter we shared between us was delicious & came to the table well presented & hot. We had 4 separate dishes for mains. The chicken & bacon Caesar salad & sticky chilli chicken & halloumi salad were huge & very tasty. My son had the fiery Korean noodles which lived up to their name & were very flavourful & my husband had the katsu curry which he thoroughly enjoyed. 3 of us were too full for dessert but my son had the honeycomb cheesecake which was presented beautifully & was rich & creamy. Together with the real ales & the delicious mocktails, especially chillin' on the beach, this was one of the best meals we've had out in ages. So much so we've booked to go back again next week! Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

We hadn’t booked and were shown to a nice table. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The food was spectacular. Good portions and full of flavour. We had the Jerk Chicken and Cod. Thank you!
