If you want a pub near the Chine there's the Crab Inn and Chine Inn at the top and Fishermans cottage at the bottom.
Have not eaten in them in years so cannot recommend.
I was in The Crab a month ago. Food by numbers really, nothing special. The Fisherman's Cottage seemed better but we didn't eat there in the end. All these places are swamped in summer. We also had a medioce Chinese so I can't even recommend that. The place next to "The Steamer" on the prom was probably the best meal we had.
There must be some good places locally. The Thai restaurant in the High Street was recommended to me but my daughter didn't fancy it.
You don't really go to that part of the island for fine dining though. I'd suggest that you fill up on the B&B breakfast, have sandwiches for lunch and fish and chips for tea.
