Popped in for a pint after work. Stayed 40mins.2 weeks later got a parking fine for £100.I had no idea I had to enter registration on arrival. Bar staff said nothing. No obvious signs.Signs on wall outside state free parking in big letters. Small print (on closer inspection when I returned to collect evidence for appeal) states conditions.I feel seriously ripped off. The pub was a bit of a dump also. Really wished I hadn't bothered.Such a scam to catch people out. None of the signs were illuminated so I didn't actually see them.

Firstly I appreciate that the time of year probably doesn't show the place at it's best.The food was mediocre and the staff were not the happiest I have seen. It appears to be a "local pub for local people". Perhaps serving mussels in a sauce on a flat slate without a bowl for the shells, or wipes isn't the best idea!However it was spotless even though there are building works in progress.

Went here for Sunday roast, beef and turkey on the menu. Service was good if a little slow. Food was ok not exceptional, aunt Bessie roasties and plastic bag veg, meat was very good. Explained several times that my wife is coeliac so can't have gluten but her roast arrived with a Yorkshire pudding ? then her Eton mess came with a layer of biscuit crumb ?. Both were replaced FOC with apologies.

Good food, the staff are very welcoming. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. We stayed overnight in our campervan.Woke to a wonderful view!

Great place to park up with a campervan or motorhome. Parking spaces right next to the beach.Register in the pub for a stay up to 24 hours free of charge, just eat and drink in the pub.The service was very friendly and there was a good range of beers and reasonably priced pub food ?

Overall was a basic stay. The staff were friendly and the food tasted nice enough but wasn't wowed by it. We stayed the night in one of the chalets. Room was clean and decorated nicely, was warm and comfortable too. The room had a fridge, microwave, kettle, plates, bowls cutlery, which are handy if your not eating in the restaurant.

We stayed for 1 night and although the room was basic, it was adequate. Dinner was exceptional and the staff were amazing. I would definitely stay here again.

Me my husband and our dog stopped for lunch. The staff were exceptional from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious and you got alot of it. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and we would definitely return again with our children. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

I really enjoyed my long weekend at Poachers Pocket. We parked the motor home in the car park. We had a seaview. Just steps from the beach. The pub had 24 hour access to toilet facilities. The food was delicious and plentiful. The owners and staff were lovely. They met all our needs and were very friendly.

Wanted to leave a good review as saw some not so great reviews. We stayed overnight in our Campervan and had a lovely stay. I had been earlier in the year too and both stays were great, fab food ( we had 3 course meal at night with gorgeous sea views in restaurant upstairs upstairs and a roast dinner the next day) and you can?t beat the location. It was lovely to sit outside on a lovely day with amazing views. There was a skip as another reviewer said but it was over towards the corner and surely it just shows they are doing some work to the place which I don?t see anything wrong with. We would definitely be back as the staff were lovely and friendly and the beach amazing.

Such a shame. We?ve visited before and loved it here but came away disappointed. Building site, overflowing skip in seating area, all of the tables were sticky and heard everyone complain of the same thing to which they were wiped with a dirty cloth. Decor is dated and tired. Food was okay but expensive for what it was. The service was slow and unfriendly server who were swearing and shouting at each other. Our food was sat on the side for ages whilst the server was seemingly standing playing around with a tablet and not paying attention to anyone. Music far too loud as well despite asking for it to be turned down. Unfortunate as this used to be a nice spot and the views are fabulous!

Went to the Poachers Pocket for a drink. It was busy inside so we sat outside where we had a delightful view of an overflowing skip. The drink of beer was terrible and we felt sick afterwards. Dirty, tired and tatty. Won't be returning. Nicer pubs nearby.

Stay for two night camper van. Free to park just book in end of bar able to get rid of rubbish and to get water, Direct access to beach which is lovely and sandy and mega bonus lavazza coffee. Very clean and pub dog stunning would highly recommend. Definitely visit again good bunch of honest people.

Great location right next to a superb sandy beach with plenary of parking for cars and space for Motorhome pub stays! The food, however, was very disappointing to say the least! But the worst part of our experience was the loud piped radio music interspersed with log periods of advertising which they didn?t turn down when we explained that it was spoiling our visit! We will not be going back for seconds!
