Lovely chilled out place. Friendly team and cheese garlic bread was to die for. I had the lentil stew with cheese mash and my other half had the half roast chicken with hand cut chips. We would recommend. Very tasty food. Thank you!

We normally stop in here randomly after a walk on the beach and the food is always beautiful (I love their mussels) but we just had our first Sunday lunch there and it was incredible. Couldn’t fault any part of the meal – the veggies were delicious and were just as much a star as the soft roast pork that I had. Shout out to Meadow for being our waitress/server as well, she was an excellent host. 100% recommend this to everyone and anyone.

After a day of hiking, Instow Arms beckoned to us as an oasis on our way back. Even though the pub was full, we were offered a snug spot near the entrance. This seating offered us the delightful privilege of watching a beautiful sunset.Culinary-wise, the mussels were an absolute treat, and opting to switch out the fries for garlic bread proved to be an excellent choice.They serve non-alcoholic Guinness beer.
