If you fancy a takeaway, this is EXCELLENT. It doesn't look much as it's just a trailer by the the edge of the road but the food is really authentic, run by 4 Thai women with all the right sauces, pastes and garnishes. Call ahead as it is extremely popular (07788 378309) and the wait is between 45 mins to 1 hour, but it's short drive from the house or actually not far to walk and collect and the food comes hot, fresh, tasty and on time. Generous portions for the money. Open until 11pm.

One beach café and next to that also very tasty ice-cream, try the clotted cream with strawberries or the honeycomb. Superb.
