Customer Review Summary
Haddock and chips draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing light, crispy batter and skin-on fish so tender it falls away easily, plus generous portions. Close behind, the meat pie with mushy peas earns mention as a "spectacular" home-cooked option with "fabulous meaty gravy," and tea or coffee with buttered bread served alongside meals comes up often as a nice touch. Service is consistently called friendly and efficient, handling large groups and solo diners alike without a booking. A couple of visits fall short: one reviewer found the haddock batter watery and undercooked for their taste, while another described chips as dry with a "rancid oil" taste and noted bread arriving late. Reviewers also flag the restaurant as quieter than expected, with one wishing for background music since conversations at other tables carry easily. Most call it good value for a sit-down meal, pricier than takeaway but reasonable, and several say they'd return, with one adding they'd stick to lunch rather than dinner after their experience.

“The service was excellent we didn’t need to book or wait. Staff very friendly to all customers. Food was excellent and really good value. Portion sizes very generous and staff honest we nearly ordered extra soft drinks without realising tea and coffee came with our dishes. My only negative was no background music or noise so you can literally hear everyone else. Just a quiet background bit of radio or something would be welcome”

“Lovely little restaurant. Staff are absolutely fantastic, super kind and just natural. We ate with our family and our young daughter on Sunday evening and our waitress was engaging with her, chatting and showing her round the restaurant. It was really adorable. Food is always delicious. Best haddock and chips!”

“Sunday chippy, had Jumbo haddock chips, peas, bread and butter and a coffee, partner had small , didn't disappoint. Fresh , well cooked, hot and plenty to go at, busy time but very comfortable. First time here but will recommend , bit more expensive than a takeaway but reasonable for a sit down for two 😎👍🏾”

“Very traditional British restaurant specialising in traditional English fare in a relaxed atmosphere. The fish and chips served here are as good or better than you'll find anywhere. The staff are friendly, happy to chat but never pushy. It may not be the cheapest place but it is the best.”

“The food was excellent, wonderful fish and the service was marvelous. Prices were reasonable and its easy to see why it has such a good reputation. The place was cozy but as quiet as a library....”
