Friendly welcome on our lunch time arrival with extremely friendly service throughout our visit from the waitress and Barman. Drinks and food arrived promptly despite the inn being quite busy. We had a variety of six delicious main dishes which were also hot and plentiful. Definitely recommend being a short stroll from the seafront.

We booked a table for six - everything about the meal was excellent! As residents in the locality, it was good to see that the "Inn .." is returning to it's former ambiance. The service was exemplary - a real effort was made to attend to our needs and also explain the changes in recent times. We'll be back!

Lovely well run pub. Staff are very welcoming and friendly when you arrive. Great selection of ales and wines. You can tell the staff get on well as there was a really relaxed atmosphere about them and their communication with each other. Everyone was so attentive to our table and kept a real flow knowing just when to approach to offer more drinks or assistance. Really great team, well kept pub and toilets were immaculate. Well done Inn in the park team.

This was our first visit since you reopened. The service was great and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was very good. We enjoyed a steak and ale pie and a rib eye steak. We made the mistake of ordering flat bread starters, not realising how large they were. Perhaps we should have asked! Will definitely be back again.

Good choice of vegetables with Sunday roast. Large portion of meat (beef and lamb) but although tender, spoiled by being pre-cooked which left meat dry. Gravy too thick for my liking. Sweets tasty and big portion. Service excellent and friendly staff. Loved the hand sanitizer on each table. Would visit again but not for roast.

We sat outside but evening slightly spoilt by the fact had to pay up front and separately for every course. I appreciate that some people walk out without paying but if you are serving food outside block off the entrance to the car park so you come in and out through the restaurant.

We arrived on time but the table wasn’t ready so we had to wait 15 minutes for our table. The food was mediocre especially the sausage roll. The price was quite high for the quality of the food. We’ve eaten here before when it was much better.
