Very good variety and quality of food, with a warm and cosy country pub feeling. More based towards a restaurant than a general pub.

The Ridgeway Inn is set in our local village, and within a 5-10 minute walk (relatively steep hill). Good food, but opening days and times are very erratic, so definitely call ahead if you'd like to book.

Sightseeing

Great seaside town, with a lovely, flat walk along the sea front. Nice shops, and cafes. Highly recommend going to Jacobs Ladder cafe at the far end of the beach - nice gardens up there too.

Kids theme park. Indoor and outdoor areas. Quite pricey to get in apparently, but someone told me that if you buy a ticket, you can go back as many time as you like, within 7 days. That maybe just during school holidays. Look out 'things to do' brochures though, sometime you can get free ticket coupons.
