One of a small chain of marina bars which are open to, and use by, the general public as well as marina berth holders. This one overlooks Sparkes Marina and the unspoiled mud flats behind it. It is housed in a former industrial building and retains a maritime/industrial feel to it. The single room is rectangular and has a concrete floor. The servery is in one corner, while some of the stock is stored in cages in the public area. They offer a fairly modern range of food with a mixture of trendy 'pub classics' and pizzas with 'fusion' toppings. One ale on handpump, Wainwright's Gold, plus a keg range of Shipyard, Guinness, Estrella, Inch's Cider, Carlsberg and Brooklyn Stonewall IPA. A good enough place to spend an evening if you're staying in the Marina, though it's predictably popular with families especially in the Summer.
