modernised friendly pub/restaurant overlooking the beach with various outdoor areas. 3 real ales, 2 local. Good food.

The standout feature of this bar on the Esplanade is the large front terrace with views out over the beach.South facing ,it's a sunny spot to eat,drink and watch the world go by.The interior has a wooden floor,a restaurant side section but little of note,functional and a little sparse.The small bar sports three handpumps but only two working on my trip with Cotleigh Tawnay Owl and Goddards Fuggle -De-Dum,in OK condition.The food we ordered was really very good,generous portions and fairly priced with lots of seafood options. Although it's in the 2014 GBG,this didnt feel the place for an extended session ,but as somewhere to grab a meal it ticks a lot of the right boxes.
