Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food, singling out a burger with freshly cooked chips and a creamy coleslaw, and a grilled salmon and prawn salad described as fresh. Generous portions and a large menu come up too, and one diner says a group of twelve was served together. The complaints are about the fish and chips: one calls them poor, another wants crispier chips and larger portions.

“Best fish and chips by a mile service very good considering they had to serve 12 of us all at the same time no one waited thank you to you all.”
- Albert Ross
“Visited it quite often but sadly the Fish and Chips were very poor, yes a big serving but after the last few disappointments we will reluctantly have to give it a miss for the time being. Sorry.”

- Julia Speed
“Absolutely fantastic experience! This is such a great restaurant with an incredibly extensive menu. I was completely spoiled for choice and kept changing my mind because everything looked so good. We were looked after by an amazing waitress named Kelly, who recommended the grilled salmon and prawn salad—and she was absolutely spot on! It was delicious and fresh. I can’t wait to go back.”
