Checked in and politely showed vaccination to security at entrance as requested. My vax proof is a printout from Priceline Pharmacy because MyGov still hasn't uploaded the deets. Accepted everywhere, including here on previous visits. Security told us he'd have to get the manager because they don't accept paper proof. What? You did last week...and the week before that... not only that, the guy was so rude to us and treated my friend and I like garbage. We were planning to have dinner and drinks but left and went elsewhere. Management should make sure whoever is at the front entrance is better informed

What a shame, had a lovely meal then asked for a take away box to be told the chef is refusing to give the staff one because there too busy bringing out food and to complain to a manager. After complaining to a manager still no joy as staff told to just bring out food. After a 20 minute wait and the staff avoiding me I said Im going no where till I get my pizza box. What a ridiculous and unnecessary end to what would of been a nice meal just because of some ones bad attitude.

Always a personal favourite even with covid, warm day, nice music. Always brings a good crowd to the pub. Good selection of drinks and food, quick enough service. Plenty of outdoor setting, smoking or non smoking. Sometime you can catch a DJ playing or just someone playing a guitar with a solo singer. What ever mood you have it can be filled. So close to the beach and best location in my eye's. Maybe you might even bump into me one day.

Sat in the courtyard and ordered food from the bar. It was awful and overpriced. All the chips were undercooked and cold. Pizza bases were burnt and stale. Nothing was fresh and all seemed straight from the freezer. It seems like theyve tried to cut every possible cost and get the cheapest possible supplier whilst still having a really high price. No value at all. I feel for the staff, they seemed hectic and exasperated. They couldnt help with our food complaints.
