Amazing what they produce out of this little trailer on the sea front. Be warned, that it can often be a 45 minute wait when busy, but this allows you time to walk to the Co-op to buy drinks. Enjoy sitting on the slip opposite the trailer. Or, place your order earlier in the day and then you won't be disappointed that they've run out of something.
