Foodwise, there’s Welsh Rarebit and posh fishfinger sandwiches for lunch and some additional more substantial plates including a handmade pie of the day for dinner.

Get a taste of the Mediterranean at this revamped old country pub. There’s cured meats and The new sister pub to the Gunton Arms, with similar interior vibes! The menu is Spanish tapas inspired and is generally very tasty! The cocktails in the upstairs speakeasy style cocktail lounge are fab.

This sprawling pub has lots of different restaurants with different menus but the standout has to be the amazing marsh seafood bar which has stunning views over the salt marsh.

For something a bit different, this sweet restaurant cooks most of its dishes over fire, both in and outdoors, but they also do a stunning lobster pie for a real treat.
