"While staying local for a holiday we stopped for some eat in food. The waitress that attended to us was polite and served us quickly.. my partner had a prawn cocktail that was a good size and tasted great, me and my daughter had cod and chips.. the fish was very good quality, very flaky and a good size. chips and sides were also fine. Would recommend and can't fault the place"

"Probably the worst fish and chips we've ever had. Batter was a wierd colour and stodgy, sausages were full of gristle and the pea fritter was unidentifiable.
Chips looked and tasted like yesterday's Chips. We threw away more than we ate."
Jannah Colston
"Great fish and chips, crispy batter and white fluffy cod. The tinned roe was doubled up ( 2 slices instead of 1 ) at no extra cost.
Lovely smiling lady serving. Very reasonable price. What's not to like. We will be back."
