Nestled near the beach, this pub and restaurant impresses with its inviting atmosphere and excellent service. Guests rave about the attentive staff, cleanliness, and festive decorations, making it a pleasant place for gatherings across generations. Diners enjoy a diverse menu, though some have noted inconsistencies with food quality and presentation, particularly with certain dishes like the Wild Atlantic pizza and cheese board. Overall, the experience seems enhanced by the friendly team and the vibrant setting. While there are mixed feelings about the food, many patrons express a willingness to return, eager to explore more of the menu.

Came to an impromptu lunch yesterday and was really impressed. the coworkers were all very attentive (also the lad picking glasses took a coffee order from us)The eating came fast and was pissed hot. my man had the sausages and maic, which came with three good sizes. shot, mash and inherited and I had sampi and chips. all cooked and I just left a few chips so much for me. unfortunately we had no place for pud! would recommend def and if we ever get back in the opposite, we will certainly go back. well done to all employees.

Unfortunately, the restaurant by the beach has closed, it was the top pub-restaurant on the island. It was also a stunning spot to enjoy the sea view.

A large group of us went for our Christmas get together meal. We were seated far too close together for comfort. I was also disappointed that sauces were already on the meals rather than in separate pots. I left a lot of my main meal...because of the cranberry sauce coffee about in various places.

This restaurant provides an outstanding experience! The service is impeccable, making you feel welcomed and valued. The atmosphere is equally remarkable, with a delightful ambiance that enhances your dining experience. If you're looking for something to try, I highly recommend the beef burger—it’s absolutely delicious!
