Customer Review Summary
Chips are the main draw, described as fantastic, perfectly cooked and creamy, and often paired with gravy that one reviewer found gorgeous and another called awesome. A sausage, chips and gravy order is praised as filling, hearty and hot, and curry sauce gets similar enthusiasm. Close behind are the mushy peas, which one diner rates the best in town, and the fish, which a reviewer's husband called perfect. Portions are called huge, and several consider the food reasonably priced, though one finds it a bit pricey. The limited menu is credited for fast service, and the kids' meals are described as pretty well sized. The one clear complaint comes from a diner who bought pudding, chips and gravy twice and found the puddings had a funny taste, adding that they were not Holland's puddings. Reviewers repeatedly mention the lovely, friendly husband and wife team running the shop, with regulars saying they have been customers for years.
