Never fails to be cool here, so unique and chilled out. Gets busy so book if you want a table but you can also get pizza to take away and eat on the beach which is just as good.
It's a bit of a walk down so be prepared to haul yourself back up after a pizza and a few beers.
Steep steps to restaurant but well worth the effort . Very memorable meal . We loved it so much we came back twice in 1 week
Book in advance as gets full at busy times but an absolute must if you come to Jersey as it will be an unforgettable experience . We loved watching people arriving on boats just to collect their take away pizzas . Thank you for looking after us all so well on our visit to Jersey ! 🤩
We enjoyed it. The view and the lunch. Thanks and good luck for the future.
