Opening hours in a coastal village shift with the season. Here's the practical read on when food is actually being served — and why ringing ahead is always the fastest answer.

The seasonal pattern

Peak summer (June-August): most kitchens open through the day, last orders into the evening. Shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October): standard pub-food hours, often a midday closure between lunch and dinner. Winter (November-March): shorter hours, some places close on quiet weekday lunches.

Late food

Kitchens generally wind down around 9pm even in summer. If you arrive after 8.30pm, ring ahead — you may need to push the booking to a quick-service option.
