Eateries

— Restaurants, Pubs, Cafés where cruisers can eat, within easy walking distance…


For cruisers, who spend weeks, months, or even full-time aboard their boats, a restaurant in a harbour/anchorage is always a welcome change from their on-board cuisine—limited by the constraints of a small galley. With only their boat, dinghy, and “shank's pony” for transport, such eateries need to be within “easy walking distance” of a place where they can get ashore.

Here, we are attempting to list such places so that cruisers will know where, at the end of the day's trip, they can find a welcoming place to eat, within a couple of kilometres of getting ashore. [Two kilometres may seem like a long distance for some landlubbers, but cruisers have little choice but to walk, and so are used to walking considerable distances and usually appreciate the chance to stretch their legs.]

This listing provides brief information on each eatery and links to any known websites and Facebook/Twitter pages.
