Love to stop here for coffee and the occasional scone when walking dog along beach. Log burner is great , really warm. Coffee and scones are really good. Gets busy .
Definitely some of the best fish and chips I've ever had! Bit of a wait but more than worth it; all freshly cooked, chips crisp outside, fluffy inside and fish full of flavour. Delicious!!!
Brilliant little cafe with a very jolly owner nothing was a bother to any of the staff...would we visit again...we will indeed..but only downside were the portion sizes were a tad small if im being honest and paying extra for mushrooms in my curry was a one I didn't expect..but apart from them little niggles it was a delight
First Class Fish and Chips nice fresh cod not soggy batter excellent chips well worth a visit

First time visit to this cafe but will not be the last. Lovely friendly cafe plenty of choice to eat. Ideal for dog walker's.
Very busy seafront cafe. Delicious fish and chips
Went here for lunch and had tater tots with garlic mushrooms and garlic and chipotle sauce. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot, very tasty dish considering this was my first time sampling tater tots. Rest of the family enjoyed their food and overall it's a reasonably priced place so would definitely recommend.
