The Thatched Tavern

After a morning spent Coasteering with Ziggy from Rock Solid Coasteering, we popped in for some lunch. The Thatched Tavern is a hidden gem with an amazing outside space. The sun was shining and the food was excellent. The choices are superb, including a whole bunch of locally sourced ingredients. Staff were friendly and helpful. This is well worth a diversion and sits in an amazing valley along the coastal path.

Fabulous food & great setting. Excellent service & lovely decor. Pity it's so tedious to get to, lots of narrow lanes, constant stopping, often having to reverse when busy. Parking meter only takes cash (no phone signal means it can't take cards) you do get a partial refund from restaurant if you show your parking ticket when you pay your bill, as long as you'd paid at least £3.60. We had to park then go to pub for change for the machine but the staff as obviously used to that!

I read some of the not great reviews about the food. But honestly my mussels were really good, made in a creamy sauce with wine and the fish and chips much better than the pub traditional. A great old building, with a gorgeous garden that I will like to have at least one similar in London. As well the decoration inside at the restaurant was modern and comfortable. It’s a long way to anywhere but the road to get there is lovely and you pass some small british traditional villages. As well you can have a nice 5 min walk to the beach.

A lovely thatched pub selling a range of alcoholic drinks and food. A well laid out garden with plenty of seating. Be aware during summer months or holiday periods this pub is extremely busy and parking can be difficult. There is a one-way system to and from the pub village. There are walks to a nearby beach.

First visit today for lunch. What a find!!! Decor impeccable, garden quaint and tidy. Service brilliant and friendly. The icing on the cake is the fact they are dog friendly. We ordered fish and chips. It was a generous portion of gorgeous light battered cod, chips and yummy mushy peas. We will definitely be returning. A perfect destination for us. Thank you Team Thatcher Tavern .
