Maddys Chippy

It is perhaps not unusual that time spent at the seaside should generate thoughts of seafood, notably fish and chips, now vigorously shaking off its 'common' image. Maddy's is strategically located a mere 150 yards from the sea, so if the weather is right set up base camp by the edge of the (outgoing) tide, leg it back to Maddy's, tool up with the fruits of the briny for under £5 and enjoy the view.

Pack o' Cards Inn

Some pretty rum things happen from time to time. Take for instance the aristocrat, a direct descendant of Nell Gwynne, if that is not too much of an anachronism, who thought he was a tulip and directed his gardeners to plant him and then water him.
