Food scene
Lots of scrumpy fish on this menu. with in 7 min walking from the farm house. You can take your own wine at lunch for a corkage fee, then stagger back up the hill for a late afternoon snooze. Non fish and vegetarian menu also available. Look up the website for more details and booking. Quite pricey but sometimes their is a set menu that is cheaper

remember to take some money with you when you head to the beach, cause the smell of coffee will tempt you to stop a while. good for burgers and ice cream after surfing or swimming. I like to walk to the beach with the dogs, have a coffee here then head home or sometimes I ring my hubby who comes down to join me for a drink, then takes me home!
