Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This pub has recently had a facelift, and boy does it show. It looks fantastic. The staff are very welcoming, I didn’t have an alcoholic drink but other customers seemed happy with their drinks. The food holy smokes the food was amazing, very well presented and tasted brilliantly.
Overall very successful visit. I know the new landlady so I’ll be back multiple times! Good job folks

Meeting with family tried Steph's breakfast absolutely epic was willing to change items for a fussy eater with no issues even suggested alternatives. We were able to have another coffee after to relax with no rush to leave. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Called in for tea yesterday and we were so impressed! It’s now under new management and has been beautifully refurbished. The menu is not traditional but new and exciting - definitely worth a try. We ordered the flavoured chicken wings, jalapeño poppers & smashed burgers and they were all delicious. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

New food offer is fantastic, really is nothing like it in the local area.
The smashed burger tasted so good, it was so flavourful with sweet bacon, tangy pickled onion, spicy bbq sauce.
The chicken tenders with honey buffalo sauce were excellent as well.
I highly recommend a visit. I’ll certainly be back.

We ordered two meals. Scampi and chips and Hunters chicken with chips. After 20 minutes we were told they had no Scampi and was offered Fish goujons but in batter not breadcrumbs. Why tell us after 20 minutes ? And not after we had ordered. Surely the chef should know what he has in . Another 25 minutes of waiting, the food arrived
. Only to have some Scampi on it and some fish goujons. Over cooked. Fries not chips. The Hunters chicken had way too much cheese on top. Bit dry and not much bbq sauce. Shouldn't have to wait 45 minutes especially when it wasn't busy. Only positive was the staff were friendly.

I came on a pub crawl night out with friends and I ordered a gin and tonic at the bar. I was asked for £8.30 and when I questioned why it was so expensive (it was a single!)- I was told because it was a Tanqueray?! I showed them the gin menu where it said £6.50 and the barmaid wasn't having any of it.
I reluctantly paid and left.
£8.30 for a G&T?
Won't be back anytime soon...

We went here today for my dad's birthday, we all ordered very different meals. We had starters and mains. For starters we had prawn cocktail, garlic flatbread, and fish goujon sandwich which was delicious, just the right amount to enjoy. The mains we had gammon, rump steak, fish and chips, cheese and onion pie and chicken burger. All homemade, fresh and the best we've eaten in a while. Even my brother said "wow" he was impressed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, even on top of their Covid-19 guidance which makes you feel a lot safer eating here. Both chefs are brilliant and heard nothing but good things from everyone. All staff made sure we was topped up on drinks and made us feel welcome. Definitely will be heading back there very soon.

Excellent food, excellent service and value for money. The menu is simple but with plenty of choice, portion sizes generous but not over facing and the food is good honest home cooked food by a chef who obviously knows what he is doing. It’s a long time since I’ve eaten at the Bay and I will be going back for more. We’ll worth a visit.

After a couple recent positive visits for food and drinks I thought we could arrange a long awaited family get together to Celebrate so many missed special occasions over the last few months .. we decided to use the marquee area ( even though the rest of the pub take hygiene VERY seriously). Ben and Kerry suggested a buffet due to numbers, I even met with the chef to choose options ! Boy we were not disappointed.. the food was lush ... freshly prepared and served with a smile and an attentive service ! This was not an ordinary boring buffet !! It was fresh and varied and I’ve never sent compliments to the chef for a buffet before . We’re really grateful to the team at The Bay for making our day so special . Means a lot xxx

We stopped by here on our way to the coast.
Given a warm friendly welcome by the barmaid.Ordered drinks and asked if they were serving food.Told sorry no finishes at 2pm,it was 2.03pm.However off she went to check with the kitchen and told yes you can order food.That's what you call customer service.
We both ordered club Sandwich.Pub wasn't that busy and we did comment food was taking a long time for sandwiches.
Oh boy,was it worth the wait.Toasted bloomer,with a side of fries and side salad.It was absolutely gorgeous!.Huge portion.
Just to note 2 guys arrived after us also wanting food which was also given the go ahead.Maybe they should extend their lunchtime hours.
If your're passing can definitely recommend this pub.

We visited as a couple and some of the food was good - chips were delicious. Service was excellent. We were seated next to a fruit machine which was noisy because it was played on constantly by one person the whole time we were eating which detracted from the experience of eating out.

Ive been coming here the past few weeks with a gentleman I care for. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. He loves the ambiance!
Great facilities, especially as we need disabled access, staff can’t do enough for you. After our first visit Kat knew our order, today we stayed for food and it was Lush, I’ve been told we are definitely coming back again. Service was really quick and food was amazing.
Fab measures to make us feel safe we can enjoy a drink and still be socially distanced from the other patrons. Great place to eat and drink we sat outside in the marquee!
