"Visited this time last year after checking on their website that they did food. It said they did but when I got there they said they wasn’t doing food at that current time and they hadn’t got around to updating their website. Back in the area now and checked their website again. Looked like its had a revamp and said that it was open from 2pm and that they served food from 2:30pm. When I got there at 2:40pm it was shut and the sign outside said it wasn’t open until 4pm. So so frustrating. Can’t do the very basics of keeping their website up to date and keeping potential customers informed of when they are open and serving food. Pathetic."

"I stopped by for food but was informed that there were no available tables due to quiz night, even though the restaurant was empty. We decided to go down the road to the Zetland for drinks and then had a meal at the Rising Sun. As we walked back past the restaurant, it was still empty. It seems they may not welcome campers on quiz night. Our experience was disappointing, as we ended up spending our money elsewhere. They were not willing to accommodate us, even though we would have been happy to sit at the bar or in the tap room. The response we received from the staff seemed defensive and unwelcoming. Despite this, we had a great meal and drinks at another establishment nearby. It seems like the issue lies with their kitchen staff's inability to handle a few extra customers. Overall, we were not impressed with the service or atmosphere."

"What a fantastic pub. Went for my wifes 60 birthday for Sunday lunch, we messed them about with numbers and changed a few things. They could not have been more helpful and accomodating, the young staff were fantastic, polite, efficient and lovely, nothing was to much trouble for them, and to be fair, dealing with a lot of oldies must have been hard. The food was superb, probably the best Sunday lunch I have had in a pub, I never knew cauliflower cheese could taste so good, and the meat was cooked to perfection. If you are ever down that way, definitely not a pub to be missed."

"Loving the eclectic style and vibe. The cooper whisperer Lady that spoilt our pooch . Very friendly experienced chatty staff. Definitely an experience of a gastro pub lunch. Roast had super depth of flavours, not much meat small little slices of perfect cooked beef. Think our food went to another table they didn't order pigs in blankets) hence 4 stars also was a tad on the expensive side for a roast. The entry level red and white wine, vin du pay herault where good value and tasty £24. Ps roast has gone up £10 quid since last year . £55 quid per head. But as you know fuel food wages have all increased. Makes hospitality tough."

"We have eaten in this pub many times over the last 10 years when it was a Free House, it has always been a gem and a pleasure until now, it has been taken over by Shepherd Neame brewery, they certainly know how to ruin a previously good pub. Staff were friendly and attentive but lacking knowledge in food. The meals we ordered were over priced, poor quality, the smoked salmon fillet looked like something from Tesco, the veg wasn't present and the meal was tasteless, the scampi was all batter, fries average and no tartar sauce as they had run out, £19 for the salmon, £16 for the scampi, such a pity! We won't be eating here again. They're trading on the beautiful location of pub on a beach, apart from that it has nothing else to offer."
