There has been a pub on this site since 1751. From the outside seating there are stunning views across the harbour to Scotland. Four handpumps dispense local cask ales and both these and the good selection of meals are reasonably priced. All-you-can-eat Sunday lunch at �6.50 is highly recommended!

An annual World's Biggest Leek and Onion Competition is held here with licensee George Kemp frequently winning. Be wary of well intentioned wind-ups as the landlord has, for the third time, won The Biggest Liar in the World Competition 2015, sponsored by Jennings Brewery. Good Beer Guide entries for 2014 and 2012.
