Eat like a local
Fairport has great cooking/kitchen facilities, so there’s plenty of opportunity to create your own culinary masterpieces, but if you want to let others do the work, check out the great range of local eateries:
THE ANCHOR INN
The Anchor’s virtually on your doorstep. You’ll receive a really warm welcome there. In the summer, spill out to the sea-view frontage; other seasons, stay cosy by the real log fires. The Anchor is renowned for its mouth-watering fish and chips!
