Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
The Instow Arms is a hidden treasure overlooking the beach, serving up hearty dishes that keep everyone happy. From the moment Alice and her crew stepped in, they were treated to delicious roasts and crispy potatoes—nothing like a proper Sunday lunch. Chris felt right at home in the pub-like vibe, and the staff seem to be a key reason for the positive experiences.
You can expect a variety of dishes that please even the fussiest eaters, from fish and chips to tacos. Bex celebrated with friends here, and if you’re looking to enjoy good food with a view, this is a solid choice. Just be prepared for a lively atmosphere, and don’t be too picky about the little things.
