We were able to park for free on the beach after 4pm and easily followed the signs along the coastal path, which was only a 5-minute flat walk. The atmosphere at The Cracking Crab was fun and laid back, and the decor reminded us of the crab shacks we visited in San Francisco. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the service was just right - not rushed at all. This restaurant has become our new favorite spot, so make sure to check it out if you can.

Poor start as had to pay £4 to park, greeted well and surprised by the decor, which is a glorified cafe and sat in uncomfortable chairs and ordered drinks which were extortionate but looked forward to our meals. This was also a great disappointment, although tasted nice but meagre portions for the price, especially as we shared a small dish of vegetables for four. My dessert was a chocolate orange cheese cake with alcohol in a tiny glass jar priced £6.95, this was merely a biscuit base with whipped cream of no flavour topped with Chocolate sauce. The prices are Al A Carte without the experience, we are locals and we'll never go back again as we felt totally ripped off.

Cracking!! Location amazing and menu very tasty. Slight wait on service for deserts but well worth it patience needed. read more Cracking!! Location amazing and menu very tasty. Slight wait on service for deserts but well worth it patience needed.
