Booked a table for two, late into the evening for the following days lunchtime. Friendly man booked us in and the same friendliness met us when we arrived, from every staff member we encountered. The carvery, stunning! The roasties melt in the mouth, cauliflower cheese was smooth with a perfect cheesy topping. Lots of vegetable options and choice of 3 meats. The meat was also delicious and tender. Came here as we're staying at the caravan site opposite. Contemplating making this an occasional Sunday treat, even though it's 90 mins from home. Beats the branded carvery pubs hands down. Friendly family atmosphere which also welcomes your 4 legged best friend. Well done to the team at Lighthouse Inn. 5⭐
