Sea views right outside the window are the main event here, and the double opening doors mean you can get a pram straight in without a wrestling match — with a car park next door, free, and plenty of accessible bays. Service is quick, which matters when someone's hungry and wobbling, and the team are relaxed about mixing and matching the menu; families have found them genuinely willing to work around allergies, autism and fussy eaters, with a separate gluten-free menu that's more than an afterthought. Portions are generous — the double-patty beef burger and the fish and chips get the most praise, and one parent rates the breakfast with a sea view "10/10". There's a pet-free section if dogs are a problem. It gets busy, sometimes with live music, and the menu is on the shorter side.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
