"An exceptionally popular choice in Swanage based on great value food in a relaxed family atmosphere. The light, airy and contemporary setting with stunning beachside views. In season, you can moor your boat, row your dinghy to the restaurant and arrive in style. With a more exclusive feel in the evenings, try not to fill up on the delicious variety of homemade breads before dinner!"." Poole Audi Eat Out Guide 2009
