The Sloop Inn

Good food. Good selection of drinks. The staff were all friendly and helpful and keen to serve. I had the best ever black pudding scotch eggs. The steak, and the fish pie were also really good. The sticky toffee pudding is highly recommended too.

We went to the Sloop Inn last year and I had the best fish and chips I have ever had. I was compelled to go back today and I was thrilled to say still the best fish and chips I have tasted. The batter was crispy on the outside and the size and thickness of the locally caught fish was very good and very fluffy. I took half home with me. The chips had a non invasive coating that made them really crispy and I think homemade tartare sauce. The cost was average but the quality was excellent. Paul who was serving us and very attentive to making sure we had a good time and a good meal.

Really disappointing lunch - food was extremely average; salt and pepper squid clearly out of a frozen packet, very salty and very tough and rubbery; goat's cheese and spinach parcel very indifferent and also cooked from frozen. Don't get me started on the fish pie...very watery, super bland, loads of pre-prepared vegetables which do not belong in a fish pie. Service lacklustre and food even worse. Really disappointing for what should be a beautiful pub in a beautiful location.

Reading some reviews I cannot believe we were in the same pub! The barman did not welcome our family and friends. Insisted that both families ordered together, not separately then split bill after eating. What on earth…..? We moved into bare courtyard with some tables and had to go back into pub due to dreadful smell from drains. The food was not good, no one asked if everything ok. Total disaster. Barman disinterested and verging on rude-dreadful hospitality. Can only think they get business due to position just up from fabulous beach.

A lovely impromptu early dinner at The Sloop Inn, following a sea swim at the beach whilst on a weekend break away. The bar man was super friendly and welcoming, with a good sense of humour, adding to the relaxed vibe. We ordered the mushroom scotch egg starter which was delicious, followed by scampi and mussels. Both were equally delicious, well presented and plentiful. All in all, a very enjoyable meal. We will be sure to return if back this way in the future.

Regarding paulajt2017 review on 9th October. I was sat at the bar when you came into the pub. The staff at the pub were more than courteous to you. Jamie answered you as quickly as possible when you came to the bar, even when he was trying to serve an elderly gentleman with parkinsons. Clicking your fingers at the waitress was also completely out of order, and actually thoroughly rude. You need to learn manners if you use the hospitality industry. I hope you are not seen here again, as if I had been working, I would have thrown you out myself.
