Taken over in April by Mike and his team, the pub was pleasingly full with a good blend of locals and tourists, despite the recession. The menu promised good, staple pub fare, and there was a choice of three red or white wines and beers to suit every taste.
Each meal is prepared lovingly to order as the quality of the dishes testified. I started with a beetroot, feta and olive salad, which was lovely, and Mel enjoyed pâté with cranberry sauce served with freshly baked buns, which she described as delicious. Then I undertook the true test of a pub declaring itself a producer of 'traditional fare': I opted for the ham, egg and chips and was not disappointed. The chips were lovely; the ham a substantial home-cooked slice and the egg perfect. Mel’s Cajun chicken foccacia was a huge chunk of breast meat, with a lovely blend of Cajun spices. I am afraid the deserts were beyond our capacity but for those with room, old time favourites like sticky toffee pudding sounded yummy.
There is plenty of space here for a bigger gathering, so why not contemplate this as a location for team days, Christmas parties or even client entertaining? Climping beach is just down the road for a bracing pre or post lunch walk.
