We have a small free car park in front of the pub, however you can use Le Strange Arms hotel car park which costs £10.

Outdoor Dining

There’s always a reason to take a table outside. On warmer days, it’s an easy spot for lunch, a drink in the sun, or something cold after the beach. When the breeze picks up, wrap up and stay a while – it’s all part of it. Pints with a view, plates out in the open air, and the kind of sunsets that are best enjoyed without rushing off.

Our outdoor tables are available on a first come, first served basis, so simply find a spot and settle in.

A Proper Pour

Whether you know your wine or just fancy a decent glass, there’s plenty to get stuck into on our list. We’ve got the easy favourites, bottles from smaller makers, a few less familiar grapes worth trying, and wines with a bit of age and character behind them. Pull up a chair, have a look through, and find something that suits the moment.
