Three for the price of one here, with the Anchor Hotel, Harbourside Restaurant and Ship Inn all combining to entertain the leisure hours of those who come to this pretty place to enjoy the peace and, if you look carefully, solitude.

However, no solitude to be found in the trio above where good fellowship prevails as the courses are rattled out, though a preliminary drink in the Ship Inn, right alongside, makes an even more sociable beginning to the evening.

Starters of grilled sardines topped with whole grain mustard, and smoked chicken and avocado, both with salad can be followed by rabbit casserole, marinated in red wine with carrots, celery and mushrooms, or a whole seabass with spinach and prawn sauce. Helpings are generous to the point of extravagance, but somehow there always seems to be room for a dessert, perhaps cheesecake well laced with ginger bits, or an elderflower and gooseberry posset.

An attractive wine list offers a range of choices from the world over that simply must contain something for everyone. Service is attentive.
