“In my opinion, what truly stands out is the pub's welcoming vibe, which seems to draw people in and encourage connections. Located atop Southbourne clifftop, it seems to balance stunning sea views with a friendly, community-focused atmosphere. Though some areas might show their age, that's easily outweighed by the warm service and consistently praised food.”
