The location proved convenient, with access to the pier and local shops.

I was quite let down by the Sunday lunch carvery. The beef was tough (almost inedible) and overly well done, while the pork was dry. The roast potatoes seemed to be of the frozen variety and hard as rocks. the sprouts were practically raw.
