    For a completely different ambience, try this hip, upmarket bar and restaurant in a cleverly renovated Georgian town house with a terrace overlooking the harbour. The bistro menu focuses on fresh local produce, especially crab and lobster hauled in from the restaurant's own boat.

    Royal Oak Inn

    Suffused with character, this old inn was the site of the French surrender in 1797 and the table on which it was signed takes pride of place at the back of the dining room. The pub has turned into something of an invasion museum, filled with memorabilia. It also serves the best pub food in town and hosts a popular live folk night on Tuesdays where musicians are welcome to join in.
