    Nice to have a cuppa tea, coffee and a snack. Even though we are still dealing with Covid the atmosphere is very much Dorset style. Friendly, consistently pleasant and a good place to be in.

    Good fish & chips, fast and friendly service. Try the Fever Tree Ginger Beer as a drink.

    Had mussels and some fish goujons. Mussels were good, beer was okay. Not especially great but perfectly decent
