A very warm welcome to all of our customers.

We are delighted to finally reopen our Café and hope that you will once again feel at home. Our staff have undertaken appropriate training to ensure that we are fully compliant with all the Covid19 Government measures. We will initially operate a reduced menu in addition to slightly shorter opening hours. We would kindly ask all our customers to adhere to the 2m rule and limit the time spent in the Café to no more than 60 minutes. Please bear with us as we come to terms with a smaller capacity. The safety of our customers and our staff is our top priority.

Thank you from The Coastguard Team.

Home to a number of local art groups, this venue is a wonderful and unique exhibition space. It can be used for book launches, readings, small musical recitals and plays.
