The ferry was delayed due to tide so we were looking forward to a couple of hours in the Shipwright Arms .Unfortunately there were very few people in the pub, and the food was overpriced by a long way.- a baguette priced at £8-10 pounds was ridiculous!! There was a mackerel ploughmans on the menu, I asked the waitress if it was local, and she very kindly went to ask the landlord. He immediately appeared and told me it certainly wasn't from Russia but that the wood chips used to smoke the fish might have come from Scotland. He was so rude I felt speeechless, and the waitress and the bar tender looked so embarrassed. We went to the Post Office up the road and found a great locally made pastie without the hassle of a landlord who feels he has a captive audience who he can abuse because they have no other choice .
