Gluten free options. Excellent service. Right by the car park which is free for 30 mins but pay to stay longer. Beach is right there so good for a pit stop and view of the sea!

Stopped for a cuppa. We'd found a phone and the team here managed to find the ice number and left a message for the owner. They kept the phone to pass it back to the owners when they got in touch. That's pretty amazing customer service
