Wow! We happened upon as close to possible traditional British pub next to the beach in Capitola. Fantastic menu, great to have a Strongbow on tap! Our server was super fun and made our special day together even more fun!

I wanted to keep it a secret. Home to the best Chardonnay mussels, fish&chips, better than Britain, bangers and beans. Or maybe it’s the Arugula or ginger bacon blanketed prawns in Sid’s delectable sauce or Andy’s perfectly balanced raspberry lemon drop; they’ve all, along with...Read More
