“Tried the crispy cod due to moving into the area and came highly recommended. Well what can i say, small cod and large and medium chips and fish cake. Absolutely lovely, portions sizes were perfection and to the point neither could be finished. Cheapest around i think also. Will be back very very soon. Atmosphere is only a three as I stood outside due to the heat and it being a heatwave 🥵”
