That brings back memories. At high tide you can sail a dinghy right up to the door of the pub.
Pretentious, but fun.

But does that mean you have to stay in the pub until the next high tide ?

Well, I'm not sure you HAVE to......... George

Actually, it means you have to time your trip carefully, and drink quickly. Cutting a dash by sailing up to the bar is all very well; but getting stuck in the mud for twelve hours until the next high tide rather takes the shine off things.
But it's a great pub. Years ago a fisherman lived in the fisherman's cottage next door (no longer, alas), and he would sell freshly caught and cooked prawns which people would eat outside the pub.

It is still a great pub, serving good food, but rather too popular with yachties, dog walkers, bird watchers etc.
