With another busy week behind us and plenty more sunshine on the way, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to leave us such lovely feedback.

Running a busy seaside pub in the middle of summer isn’t always easy, but reading reviews like these genuinely makes every long day worthwhile.

To our amazing team, thank you for the hard work. And to everyone who’s visited, supported us, recommended us and left a review… thank you. It really does mean more than you know. ❤️

See you by the sea soon.

A NOTE ABOUT HAPPY HOUR - Every night’s a fortnight...and we’re doing everything we can to keep it that way! Over the last few years we’ve done everything we can to hold our Happy Hour prices, despite rising costs, duty increases, supplier price hikes and pretty much everything else the hospitality industry has had thrown at it. To keep Happy Hour sustainable for the long term, we’re making a small change from this week. Instead of a £4 drinks across the board, you can now enjoy:
25% off all draught beer, all wines by the glass & select cocktails 4-5pm everyday

🍺 DRAUGHT BEER FROM £3.90
🍷 HOUSE WINE FROM £4.90
🍸 SELECT COKTAILS FROM £8.60
🍕 ALL 8” PIZZAS JUST £8.00

The good news? Many of your favourites are still around the £4 mark, and even our most premium draught products remain at just £5 during Happy Hour. That means whether you’re enjoying an Ale of Wight at £3.90, an Amstel at £4.00, a Moretti at £4.50, a Neck Oil at £4.70 or a Hawkstone IPA at £5.00, you’re still getting some of the best Happy Hour prices on the Island. And let’s be honest…where else can you enjoy a discounted pint, a glass of wine or a cocktail whilst watching the sun disappear over the solent? So grab a friend, find a spot by the sea and join us for 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸.

Thank you, as always, for supporting an independent, locally owned pub. Your support helps us keep investing in our team, our venue and the quality products we love serving. Whether you’re a local who visits us every week, a holidaymaker discovering us for the first time, or somewhere in between, thank you for choosing to spend your time and money with us. Independent hospitality survives because of loyal guests like you. So wherever you call home, make time for that quick coffee, lunch with friends, family dinner or pint at your local. Support the places you love, because once they’re gone, they rarely come back. Thank you for helping keep our little happy place by the sea alive and well. Big love, Will, Justin + all the team x
