The area with tables has a beautiful view of the harbor, but needs a little updating. The food is fantastic after you finish taking all the shells and bones out of the seafood. The breaded fish had bones... the seafood pasta needed 15 minutes to shell all the prawns before eating. Taste was spot on after this... The service as spotty as we needed to ask for the bill 3 times before it was delivered to us.

Reviewed By daghim
We choose this restaurant because was late and the one we wanted to go was not serving meals that evening. The restaurant is simple but nice and warm but the meal was wonderful. I took a surf and turf and the meat was tender like butter. My wife and daughter took the fish and chips, crispy and light. My boy took an hamburger also very tasty and juicy. Apple pies with custard really good as well. We also discovered that on the bottom of the restaurant (where the toilets are located) there is a canteen with live music. We were tired but next time we'll definitely end the evening down there.

Visited with family on a Saturday night. We all had a meal which everybody thought was very nice and reasonably priced. I had the homemade pie and mash which was lovely. The young man that served our table was very polite and friendly. Dog friendly too which is great. Would definitely return next time Iâm in the area.

A true traditional pub with great character, friendly staff and a great range of drinks which includes a great selection of well kept ale. The staff and locals make a visit to the smugglers bar a gruelling enjoyable experience. The food menu is well priced and the food is of great quality, is well present and cooked. I had a sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection, I can highly recommend the steak. Wish I could have given a sixth star for the food alone.

Quaint looking Tea Room set up the hill from St Margaretâs Bay. We wandered in and got some strange looks for some unknown reason, so decided to have a quick look in the museum. Where were all the artefacts advertised? We made a hasty retreat and sadly didnât stop for a cuppa & cake.

Nice locals pub serving Birra Moretti among other others and interesting decor with the signatures of those who have been brave enough to tackle cross channel swim. Our intention was to eat at the White Horse but they donât serve food on a Wednesday but the staff were happy to recommend a good alternative venue.

We visited The Coastguard on a rainy chilly evening in October. The location of the place is just great, right on the beach. We even enjoyed the windy road down - my fellow travelers wondered how on earth I found this place! The food was excellent, the staff very welcoming, friendly, helpful. The only downside to our visit was that the pub was not very warm. They must have had the heating turned off. It would have been a lot cosier if the temperature was a little higher.Thank you for your review. Sorry that the pub was a bit cold. We are just at that time of year between having the heating on and off - also soon we will have our roaring central fire going! Hope to see you again.

Very good service here in a pleasantly updated building. We did find the lighting in the bar a little too bright. However, the service made up for it. Zakinah, the cocktail lady behind the bar was outstanding. Very nice service. Thank you.
