The Lookout Cafe

Read loads of good reviews about this place, so as a late breakfast we decided to pop here with the family and the dog for a nice treat! We nabbed a couple of bacon and sausage sandwiches, but our son fancied a crepe which they unfortunately didn't sell so nabbed one from just down the beach. We're sitting outside with our son while we're finishing our sandwiches, then the lady at the cafe comes out, went to our son directly, and told him he couldn't eat his crepe - Saying "You can't eat it here, its MY tables, MY chairs" very rudely. Initially couldn't tell if it was silly banter, but nope she was dead serious! Was shocked, heard such nice things about the staff! They don't even sell crepes, and we'd bought two whole breakfast meals from them! It was just our son sitting with us, causing no harm, quietly to himself. There were loads of spare seats and tables - It wasn't like he was taking up someone elses space! He was just shocked, he has learning difficulties so he took it all rather personally. Its not peak season, there were loads of spare seats, not many people around, and he was causing zero inconvience - there was just no need for it. Do they tell off kids eating ice creams they got from down the road while they sit with their parents who have bought bacon sandwiches? Its just a wee bit overzealous on a quiet Sunday morning! The funny thing is, he was going to get a bacon sandwich from them for the road! Clearly after that he didn't! Really tainted the last day of the holiday, which is a shame.

One of the best places to sit to enjoy the views of the sea. A friendly, family run cafe with great selection of snacks, breakfasts, hot and cold drinks, all for reasonable prices. There is a large seating area outside with stunning views of the beach and sea, and across the unspoilt coastline. Well worth heading for, if you’re looking for somewhere to sit and relax. The owners are very welcoming indeed.
