Links to the public transport network are just 50 metres away, the botanical gardens are 100 metres away and it lies 1 km from the town centre and the marinas. It is 2 km to the shopping centre, 3 km to the Moorish Castle and 6 km to the Apes' Den.

The culinary style has unashamedly absorbed influences from both Iberia and North Africa, as well as an obvious leaning to all that is good about modern British cuisine. Naturally it also takes full advantage of the Mediterranean location and the abundance of seafood available on the doorstep. A daily changing house menu is featured, as well as a full seasonally changing à la carte selection. There is also an extensive range of conference, banqueting and private dining menus and of course the chef would be happy to design ad hoc celebratory or corporate menus to suit any budget.
