Eat
- Matricardis. An Italian style bar/restaurant has a decent selection of continental beers and wines, good food and a lovely beer garden for the summer months.
- The Bluebell. This was a traditional-style pub, but following a recent refurbishment probably now sits best in the eat category as most of the space has now been given over to tables so more suited to diners. A varied menu of modern European and gastro-pub English favourites.
- Seaspray Serves fish and chips of the typically fried variety, pies are also available and ketchup is often present
Drink
- The Three Tuns, is a warm, friendly pub often with the landlord's beautiful golden retrievers in the bar to greet you. It doesn't serve food, but does have a couple of large plasma screens.
Sleep
