Intimate pub serving a wide range of real ales and the fantastic 'Weapons Grade' alcoholic ginger beer. The menu full of comfort food (suet puddings, sausage and mash) will help soak up the tipples.

An eclectic selection of vintage shops specialising in different decades can be found between Albert Road and the Palmerston precinct. Start with Tango Tea and their flapper and Art Deco collection then onto Style in the City and the One-Eyed Jockey with clothes from the Seventies, or for a real Fifties and Sixties experience step into Dead Man's Glory and bop away to skiffle music playing on the turntables whilst riffling through the rails.

Live at the Bandstand happens every Sunday through the summer and has a huge following. There's a different theme every week - this year has swing, urban, rock'n'roll, jazz, country etc. Take a rug and a picnic and relax - there's nothing better on a Sunday afternoon!

Your average local - but with over 30 ciders on offer! It's a nice little place nestled down by the seafront, the kind of place filled with regulars at all hours. Divided into two sections - an old school style pub section and a 'games room' style area at the front - it's a lovely pub. Be fine for the family or for a sociable pint - it's not rowdy but it's not boring either. But the real appeal is the cider. You name it, they've got it. From local concoctions like the lovely Florence Somerset Scrumpy (the patron's beverage at bargain prices) to your Swedish perries and even a 15% perry, the menu keeps changing.
