Grab a bite to eat at Ann’s Pantry
This charming café and restaurant has a rich history dating all the way back to 1926. Originally two fishermen’s cottages, Ann’s Pantry overlooks the stony beach that once served as a bustling herring fishing harbour. The café is renowned for its commitment to homemade, wholesome dishes crafted from seasonal and local produce, including a selection of delicious cakes that are baked in-house using free-range eggs and natural ingredients. Notably, during wartime, it was one of the few places that managed to source chocolate, making it a cherished spot for many.
Visitors can enjoy a delightful afternoon tea or brunch accompanied by Bucks Fizz, all while taking in the serene coastal views. The café also emphasizes sustainability, using compostable or recyclable take-out containers and sourcing Fairtrade tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.
