The "Three Mariners" pub is a Grade II listed building dating back to the late 18th century. Over the years alterations have been made to the pub but it still retains a unique charm, enhanced in winter by cosy log fires and in summer by a sunny terrace at the rear. From here customers can enjoy a meal or a drink while looking towards Oare Creek, which provides both an anchorage for numerous small boats and a link to the North Sea.
