Busy late afternoon session. Always found this pub unrelaxing. It doesn't seem to know if it's a pub or a restaurant.

Just after midday. Handful of elderly customers sat by the window eating. Ghostbusters on the radio.

1980's new wave on the radio. Right odderty this pub. Like something out of the 70's when men wore white flares and Roger Moore was Bond.

Funny old place this. If it were fictional it would be the centre of some kind of rum smuggling operation.

I sat out the back on the patio overlooking the beach and the Cobb. It was about 5pm and the crowds were still milling about.

Funny pub really. Great views out to sea but the inside is a little like a surgery waiting room.

I've been coming to Lyme Regis for years and, from the exterior, this pub always had an odd feel to it. In fact it's not as rough as I always believed it to be. In fact it has some nice views of Golden Cap - that hill that round these parts is seen as a mountain. Anyway, at 12:30am on a Tuesday it was populated with a few elderly dinners and me. I stared out at Golden Cap; they ate fish.

Sharp's - Coaster (or Cornish Coaster)3.60GoodA bit cold. A bit cloudy. ...but it had that nice watery mandarin and strawberry flavour to it.
