It's a really lovely location. The cafe is built into one of the towers that form part of Henry VIII's fortifications of the town. It has a few outside seats which provide a lovely view of the harbour entrance. They also provide blankets if it's a bit chilly.

This little local brewery creates award winnnig craft beers! It is situated in an industrial area, but don't let that put you off. It brews on the site, but there is also a quirky tap room, and an adjoining building which has been recently been refurbished to extend their space, where you can often find live music!
