The pub received a transformational investment in Spring 2020 creating a fittingly traditional nautical theme which pays tribute to its coastal location. A cosy snug, centred around the fire welcomes you as you walk through the door with the bar in front of you, focussing on selling excellent real ale. The restaurant area is towards the rear, complete with table service station, booths, a variety of seating choices.

The crowning glory for the pub is the beautiful garden that wraps around the side and rear of the pub.

It's the perfect setting both day and night.
