Customer Review Summary
Buffets are what reviewers return to most, with a christening, a wedding reception, a family party for 25 and a workplace lunch all described as arriving on time, piping hot and freshly made, and guests complimenting the food. Close behind, the takeaway earns praise for generous portions, with salt and pepper chips and sausages called fresh and delicious, and one regular says they have never had a bad meal in years of visits. Several mention friendly, lovely staff. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says the last three orders had missing items or went to the wrong customer, another found the fish dry, yellow and old looking, and a third called the salt and pepper chicken bland and expensive for what it is. A few note the shop gets busy at weekends and parking outside is difficult. One reviewer says the party buffet felt stress free, arriving at their door on the night.

“Its alright, Nothing special - Expensive for what it is, Salt and pepper chicken was very bland, hardly any seasoning on it. Probably wouldn't return for awhile.”

“Thank you so much for Ocean Food Bar for catering our little girls christening. Food arrived on time, piping hot and it was absolutely demolished before I could even take a picture! Every single person raved about how amazing the food was. Couldn’t believe the quality for the price and the staff could not have done more for me leading up to the christening. Would 1000000% recommend.”

“Heard good reviews about this chippy, but we were disappointed. We got fish chips and curry sauce for 2, which cost just on £20. The chips and curry were OK, but the fish was awful, looked old fish, dry and yellow looking. Certainly won't be going back”

I highly recommend the buffets and takeaway. Been going here for years and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. Lovely food and lovely staff. Thank you again xx”

“The food is lovely but the last three times I’ve ordered the order has had missing items, or the order has been given to the wrong customer. I don’t know if I’ll bother again.”
