Kev.

Hi kev

You have been gone to long..... Green Shutters is under new managers. Has had a referb and is the nicest pub to drink in.

Hotel aqua now does food in the bar Fridays and sat. Beers well kept

Both places are clean. My definition of a clean pub is one that you would still eat and drink in when you see them in daylight.

cheers

I still have the scar and broken teeth to back this up

Hi guys,

Thanks for the info. In the end we walked down from the YMCA to the breakwater, had a bit of food, then headed up to a local by the YM. There was a ska/mod cover guy on in there and the female volleyball team staying there were also in the pub, so we had a good night

Cheers, Lloyd.

We went there yesterday and it was lovely, one of the best places, and certainly the best views, in the area. They do knock out bacon butties and have a realy good sunday lunch menu for £5.95 (or 2 for £10). Definitely worth a visit. You can sit on the wall outside and see the whole of Chesil beach . Beautiful.
