See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

This narrow corner pub extends from the High Street to the beach. The middle part was the alehouse in 1798. The restaurant with sea views and upstairs deck for drinkers were added in 2010. Nautical maps and pictures featured on the walls reflect the previous landlord's interests. Highlights are the paintings of Rorkes Drift and the battle of Isandlwana.

L&B Restaurant Co purchased in September 2023 from Stewart and Wendy who ran the pub for 38 years.
