Cat & Fiddle: good to know
Do all your places have the same menu?
No, each one's a bit different. Luben does pizza. The Pullman, Harbour Inn and The Ship Inn do roasts and pub food. Cat & Fiddle is all about the drinks.
Can I just walk in?
Of course, if we've got a table free. Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch get busy, so it's best to book for those.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs are welcome at Panataria, in the bar at The Pullman, and at Harbour Inn, The Ship Inn and Cat & Fiddle. Luben hasn't got a bar, so we can't have dogs inside there, sorry. Please keep them on a lead, off the seats and away from the kitchen pass. If it's really packed, we might ask you to wait outside or pop back later.
When are you open?
It depends on the venue and the day, and each venue page has its own times. The Pullman, The Ship Inn and Harbour Inn open at 10AM every day. They close at 11PM Monday to Thursday, midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 10PM on Sunday. Food's served Monday to Friday from 10AM (breakfast until 12, lunch 12–3, dinner 5–9, or 9:30 on Fridays), all day on Saturday and until 8PM on Sunday. Luben opens from 12 each day, and Panataria's open from 9:30AM to 4PM every day.
Is there parking?
There's street parking and public car parks near each of our places.
