What minnie1985 likes about Smugglers Inn:
Really liked this pub… very welcoming.. it’s gets very busy they could do with more staff!? Really enjoyed it here though good prices for the drinks it’s very cheap food okay area for the kids also! Will be back again we come every year! View all feedback. What Emesel256 doesn't like about Smugglers Inn:
Went with a family with young children. We couldn't stop more than a few minutes due to the foul language in the family room as well as the drunken shouting and chants. Hasn't been the same since Coastfields took over as it's lost it friendly family vibe. View all feedback.

This restaurant has become a point of contention among visitors, with opinions ranging from disillusioned criticism to fond nostalgia. While some lament its decline in family-friendly ambiance and cleanliness, citing foul odors, peeling furniture, and questionable pricing, others celebrate its welcoming vibe and enjoyable auction events. The outdoor seating and family-oriented activities, such as pool tables and games for kids, are highlights for returning guests. Friendly staff often receive praise, though inconsistent service and rising drink prices have left some patrons disenchanted. Ultimately, this establishment evokes a spectrum of memories, both good and bad, for its guests.

Lovely bar and family area, great selection of drinks and sweets for the kids but come on £2 for a game of pool, not from my pocket, great apart from that.

The restaurant could use some renovations, but we appreciated being able to bring our dogs inside. The bartender was very friendly.
