Strong pricing and a slightly sticky table and menus took the edge off what could be a really excellent place.We visited after an apparently very busy lunch service on a Sunday. Tables were complaining about long waits and missed orders.We waited a little while to be offered drinks but the staff were friendly and helpful.We had an Aperol spritz and a mojito, which came with black and limp mint in the glass. This was sent back and a fresh one was made. Who decided that was acceptable to send out…I had a salmon and crab open sandwich, which at £17.00 was a lot for a piece of sourdough toast with crab, salmon, avo and tomatoes. The Gf fish and chips was very nice though. There are a good range of GF options hereSticky menus, dirty tables and lack of cutlery did let the side down a little and other tables got up and left their food after waiting so long.In the sunshine I can see the appeal and would hope that things were kept on top of as it’s the only beach cafe/bar like it along the front. Nice that dogs are allowed and I’d visit again.

That is not a cake. That's s a very disappointing and expensive mouthful. 2 cakes" and 2 coffees £17.50. Never again. Wasn't even nice. Still feeling ripped off. Service was good. As were the toilets."

Great location and atmosphere.However, the food quality does not reflect the price of the bill. My partner ordered the club chicken sandwich - dry sliced chicken in white hovis bread for £12.Very slow service.Probably a good place for drinks but would not recommend food.

Waitress/host attitude poor, the table Waitress was great knowledgeable and advised on our choice of food,The reason i give 4star on food, becouse fryer was broken, we been served soggy chips first time, when we ask for second serving we have been told they are not able to cook them. Could be informed in first serving. Its not big issue just communication!And pork tomahawk was 5oz size i left hungry after that!

Dog friendly!A beautiful place for lunch, right on the beach, it was lovely watching the sea. We were sat quickly and given water and menus. Lots of choices for food, and a mix of alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks to choose from. We had a pilsner and an Atlantic ale but there was also cider, cocktails, spirits, soft drinks and hot drinks. We had the watermelon/Feta and mint salad and the peach/hazelnut and goats cheese salad with a side of buttered new potatoes. Everything was really tasty and we loved trying these flavour combinations that were completely new to us! The atmosphere was relaxed and the music was great, the service was friendly and efficient. We had a rhubarb trifle and coffee for pud and that was also very delicious! Bear was given a bowl of water. We would definitely come again and recommend to others!

Location, location, location! Great place for a meet up. We had the only three vegetarian items on the menu, bruschetta (£12), watermelon salad (£12), vegan burger (£15), and onion rings, and three ice teas. The tea and mains were good but nothing special, the onion rings were terrible, tasteless and oily. Overall struggled with the debate of price v value, at £65 for 3 of us on a midweek lunch treat was expensive for us.

Visited for breakfast on my birthday, managed to get a table outside on a glorious sunny Sunday morning. My order was coffee and the french toast - pan-fried buttery brioche dipped in egg, espresso mascarpone, toasted almonds, rhubarb compote & maple syrup. I also opted for optional extra of dry cured Smith's bacon. I am salivating again just writing that - it was cooked to perfection and every mouthful was an absolute delight. Well done kitchen team!My dining companion had the avocado toast and was equally glowing about their meal also.Atmosphere was very chilled out and everything a beach side cafe should be. I will be returning.

I had heard about little beach cafe on various sites and friends. We travelled for just over an hour to come and eat here. We managed to park with in a 5 min walk of the Beach Cafe. Upon entering we were greeted by a well mannered young lady who advised she would be with us shortly. With in two mins we had been shown our table and were given menus and a complimentary jug of water and glasses for the three of us. We were not disappointed with the food it was amazing and worth the travel and cost. I would highly recommend this beach cafe to any one passing bye or looking to travel to eat some good locally cooked food. My only gripe and it is minor, not enough staff on a Sunday morning to serve customer’s and they took their time to take our money after we had eaten. We will be back as it was amazing well cooked food, my compliments to the chief
