Nags Head Since September 2009, this has been a balti indian restaurant and takeaway, under new ownership. Since it still advertises its beer garden, and has kept its traditional name, it would seem that it regards itself as a restaurant and pub. It has a special deal on Sunday buffets. It's good that a new use has been found for the premises, as so many rural pubs have been converted into private houses.
