Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly point to the arcade, where the 2p machines paid out nothing for one player, though that reviewer still calls it a decent arcade with plenty of prizes and tickets. Close behind are the sea views of boats and ships, good for relaxing. The chip shop draws the complaints: one calls the fish and chips overpriced, with a wrong order handed over and curry sauce forgotten.

“Balled out on the 2p machines and won nothing. Still, decent arcade, lots of prizes and tickets up for grabs”

“I wouldn’t even rate the chip shop as a 1. Horrible lady serving with a brown stain on her lip. We ordered our ridiculously over priced fish and chips and sat down, I heard the lady shout Haddock so went to collect she gave me the order. We proceeded to walk away but she had forgotten our curry sauce. Turns out she gave me the wrong order and blamed me, not only blamed me but shouted at me In front of the whole shop and my Little girl. Disgusting service, disgusting food and a vile human serving customers.”
