An old school Chincoteage institution, Mr Baldy's offers delicious, great value food and, as promised by the name, is family friendly. We're not afraid to say this is the best breakfast on the island, but the rest of the menu is great too. We recommend sticking to the seafood: the soft-shell crabs and oysters are a particular strong point.
