Absolutely amazing Sunday carvery! The beef was beautiful and the helpings are generous. We took out French Bulldog who had the dog carvery. He absolutely loved it! Wonderful atmosphere and I would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Went here for Sunday Roast and wow what a roast it was, Meat was absolutely lovely choice of Beef, Pork, Honey Mustard glazed Gammon or turkey, Roast Potatoes were spot on and plenty of hot Veg to choose from and huge Yorkshire Puds, and for desert the Jam and Coconut sponge and Custard was sooooooo nice would definitely recommend having a carvery here, but booking is essential as it is very busy on Sunday and don?t always allow walk ins

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. The atmosphere was very welcoming and bright, and the complimentary WiFi was a nice touch. The food was excellent, especially the chili and the cod and chips. Our only slight disappointment was that the kitchen closed early, which limited the dessert options. However, we would certainly be happy to come here again.

This is a review for The Shack, in the front area of the Smugglers Inn. We had pasties and sausage rolls for a lunch snack while we were on the beach, all of which were good value, top quality and hot. What more do you want in life?

We came for carvery, the food and service were great. Paige was so friendly and welcoming. She made sure we had everything we needed.

We found the location ideal which is next to the beach and a play park. Unfortunately the meal was very expensive and the service was quite poor because we had to remind the staff for drinks and food orders. The toilets were also very dirty.

What a bad bad experience we had.
We booked for a family meal for 7 of us for 19:30 we arrived to a queue at the bar and no staff to show us to the table after 10 mins we intercepted one of the serving staff who said she will get someone so show us to our table. The young lad eventually showed us to are table and offered to take our drinks order but then returned and apologised but they were not doing table service that night and we would have to order at the bar. I then spent a further 15 mins in the queue to get our drinks order.
I requested if we could put the drinks on a table with our food, this was accepted and I said I would return with our food order upon I was informed that the kitchen was closing in 2 mins when I challenged this stating that we had booked and was not a walk in the only response I got from the girl that served me was what time did we book for and when I told her and explained that we had been there for the last half an hour and have been in the queue for 15 mins to get served and when I complained about it I got no response and she started serving another person. After returning to our table the young lad was taking the order for the table adjacent to us who had arrived after us we requested he take our order because my daughter had produced our own list of what we wanted. Then another one of the waiting staff appeared to take our order. Then to top it off my starter came with my main course. All I can say is that the food was okay considering all the above comments.I was amazed also that they held a quiz night when we had just got our meals there was no mention of this when booking.
My suggestion to the owners that the Web Site be more informative and that if there is entertainment of any sort on the date of the booking it informs you. Also there needs to be more bar staff to cope with the demand.
