The Clock Café is a cool little café that serves great coffee and delicious sandwiches, good place with a chilled out ambience.

The Dry Dock (converted barge boat) is located on the edge of town and delivers a fresh mix of just about every musical genre going, indulging in classic tunes and modern chart toppers.
