We have literally just left and I was so compelled to write a review. We came here with our dachshund and our 5 month old. We had absolutely excellent and loaded plates of Sunday dinner. The meat was beautiful. We then had really lovely desserts (I had a massive slice of choc fudge cake).
The food was brilliant, but more importantly the service was incredible. Way above and beyond. When we arrived they made space for us, the barman made sure we got best value for money on the meal deal, he pointed out baby changing and offered to heat bottles or whatever we needed. Not only that but as I was eating dessert our baby started fussing... A lovely lady (who I think may have been manager?) literally rocked the pram keeping little one happy so I could eat my cake in peace! Just the best service we have seen in ages. I would strongly recommend a visit!!

We spent the morning looking for sea glass in Hele bay and then popped up to the Hele Bay Pub for some lunch.
We were greeted with a friendly smile and a chat.
We chose to sit inside (with our dog) though there was a garden with a sea view.
The lunch menu was lovely and the kids menu was great (and good value).
The food was delicious and didn't take long to come out - everyone loved their meal!
I had the pulled pork on chips - wow!
There was a nice selection of local beers available.
There was even a downstairs with kids things to keep them entertained.
I'd definitely go back again!

The pub a slightly mixed bag. The service was great and the host lovely but we were seated in a slightly dark corner, although we did meet some lovely dogs at our table. Downstairs was a nice tough but signs of damp and a funny smell. Food was good and reasonably priced

Lovely pub in Hele Bay, looking out onto the beach. Seating inside and outside with food and drink options. Best book for food, it's gets busy. Lovely Sunday roasts and decent pub food options during the week.

Cannot recommend highly enough. The food was lovely, the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. We had the roast dinner, the portions are great, loads of veg and perfectly cooked meat. So glad we stumbled upon this pub! Extra mention for the young lad serving food, he was polite and charming and is sure to go far!

Stopped at Hele beach for a quick lunch.
Plenty of outdoor space in the sun at midday (open time) on a Friday.
Chicken burger was very good, moist, big chicken breast.
I was told the burger was also good. Only had soft drinks so can’t comment on alcohol. Area outside could be made to look a bit nicer, they were people putting up parasols and moving furniture around. About 9 outdoor wooden picnic benches and also some rattan style seats with tables. Inside and outside looked clean. Would return.

Food here was great, three people in our group had fish & chips and said it was lovely, the portions were huge and extremely tasty! I however had the ribs and WOW… these were absolutely stunning, the size of them was huge and full of flavour - highly recommend.

Lovey pub great for families, there’s a soft play area downstairs and plenty of room inside and outside for people to sit. Food was very nice also (there was gravy and vegetables that came out separately that does not show in the pictures) pricing was fair aswell.
