This is a fairly basic cafe suitable for a grabing a snack whilst on the beach. Lots of parking and good portions. Thursday night is bike night.

On This occasion I was disappointed, and this was due to a young girl who was out of her depth. Totally stressed and not coping. I felt sorry for her. But that was the only time in years of excellent quality and service.

Small hut type cafe near to the beach. Had a coffee and cheese/tomato toastie. Both were ok. Pleasant staff and quck service. Not a lot of food variation on offer, but it is small after. Nice quiet location if you don't like crowds
