As such, ‘The Mags’ has been a very popular choice for winter warmers amongst promenade walkers and those seeking a traditional pub dining experience.

Landlord Stephen Brady, who has recently celebrated 25 years at the pub, said: “Dean and Andy really have been a revelation and we’ve literally doubled the takings on food since they came on board at the back end of 2023. Mary and I are grateful to the whole team for the work they put in to maintain our reputation as an iconic pub and raise our standards even higher.”

Stephen continued: “The food here has never been better and whilst we remain a traditional pub, we’ve moved with the times with some improved furnishings and necessary maintenance and repairs to the outside of the building. We have some exciting plans for the warmer months with a bar and grill in the beer garden and the big beer festival in July, whilst we have great live music every Friday and Saturday night.”
