Unfriendly and unwelcoming atmosphere. Staff were grim faced and unpleasant. The entire time felt as though we were unwelcome and unwanted there. Won't be going back.This bar used to be vibrant and full of life, it's sad to revisit my home town and find such a staple of the area to be a shadow of its former self.

Lovely food, young waitresses so service is lacking a bit but I have a feeling that will be sorted as they gain more experience.Nice size carpark to the side and disabled access on the front of the building.Very good atmosphere.

We were lost and happened upon The Playa Freehouse and Restaurant. What an incredible find this was! We were welcomed warmly into a beautiful space with a crackling fire and lovely atmosphere. The portions of food were immense and the service was really great! I would definitely highly recommend for beautiful views, lovely vibe and awesome, friendly service

During my recent visit to this charming pub I was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the food and the warmth of the service. The culinary highlight was undoubtedly the chili con carne, served with a delightful blend of sour cream, guacamole, and jalapeños – a perfect harmony of flavors. Equally commendable was the burger, accompanied by a side of crisp, perfectly cooked chips.What set this pub apart, however, was not just its food. The staff's friendliness contributed significantly to the welcoming ambiance, a sentiment echoed by the geniality of the fellow patrons. This combination of great food and a congenial environment makes for a truly enjoyable dining experience.An additional practical advantage is the availability of a car park, ensuring convenience for those arriving by vehicle. Given the quality of the experience, I strongly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. This pub is evidently a popular choice among discerning diners, and rightly so. It's a gem that promises both culinary delight and a pleasant atmosphere.

Turned up unbooked with my elderly mother. The food was excellent, inexpensive and we were made welcome by the staff. A great location. Recommended.

Thought I would give the Playa another go as I didn’t enjoy my last visit and really shouldn’t of bothered. Went safe with nachos and some garlic bread and OMG they was both terrible. My child can make better also, massively over priced for what the chef produced. Would probably pop in for a drink but no chance I would pick up a menu.

Giving caravan clubhouse vibes.The staff were friendly and lovely, no complaints there but the establishment is run down and dirty looking (it may well be clean but looks filthy). Your served coffee in paper cups, drinks in plastic cups, the tables at the front smelt like urine.The decor is as basic as can be and just in general looking run down.There were boxes of sauce packets on the bar to help your self to.While we didn’t eat there were plastic laminated menus that looked like they had been through a washing machine. What’s wrong with a nice printed menu that can be recycled, much more hygienic.It used to be one of the best places on the island.I wouldn’t mind if they were charging normal prices. But they are still charging a premium.I have recently hear stories from other people of bar fights becoming more normal.It’s a shame. This place has so much potential

There was a little mix up with our main meals being served 30 seconds after our starters arrived, but that was quickly rectified. All in all a nice lunch in the beer garden.As a side note I do wish that the management insisted that guests keep their dogs on a lead as I do not appreciate other people's dogs begging for food at my table.
Had dinner on Sunday 18 September.Really nice vegetable lasagne and chips.All the staff were ever so friendly and accommodating. Would definitely eat there again.Vegetarian options: They offered us a nice few veggie options.
