GAMES WELCOME
Catching up with mates or making memories with the family, our pool table draws out friendly competition most nights as well as our darts. There's always time for good sport and a bit of banter in our relaxed coastal pub.
I arrived with my miniature Schnoodle and I was welcomed warmly and the host replenished the dog bowl with fresh water for my Rocky which was really nice. I sat in the covered outside area with my dog and they waited on me bringing the menu and directed me to a nice little shop that sell locally handmade crafts and paintings hung on the walls for purchase as well as a Ice cream fridge and drinks and a few grocery items for sale.
Now to the food, I ordered the Beef Burger with fries, the burger had a nice thick patty with cheese melting down the patty with fresh lettuce tomato and I think was a beetroot mayo dressing, the chips were seasoned with chicken salt and we're nice and crispy with a soft center, beautifully cooked. Oh and they bought out a napkin and utensil caddy and of course a bottle of tomato sauce. The place was very clean and well set out with nice comfortable seating and a pool table and dart board with a full bar to quench your thirst with your favorite drink. Highly recommended well worth the visit.

“Fantastic to find well-cooked chips after a long drive and beach walk. The burger was also perfect, and the karage chicken was very tasty. Good selection of beers, including Panhandle, yum! So stoke up your appetite with a big walk on the beach, then back for a feed - and a cool wee shop too. Excellent

Wandered in on a winter day. One of those rare beautiful days to be greeted by wonderful staff members and a good casual luncheon. Tasy and fresh.
