Very tasty, fresh fish and chips. Well worth a visit.Posted on Moon HandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We need more of these types of places for those who enjoy fish and chips. The overall experience is very good and service is friendly. The main comments would be three fold. First provide the consumer with information (and choices) about sustainability and fish sources. Second, offer vegan fish and chips (eg using banana plant). Third, the restaurant needs to be warmer in winter.Posted on Lynda SprongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a little gem. All of our dishes we top notch delicious. Cod, haddock and place freshly cooked. Served with hand cut chips and mushy peas. Fantastic friendly staff. Well worth a visit. 👍🏻Posted on Lyn ChristieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A delicious fish’n’chip lunch.

Good food and service!Posted on Leslie HurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything was very good. I had a takeaway. But,,, it was very very expensive. 2 small battered sausages and a SMALL CHIPS. Nearly £10. The small chips were nearly £4. I could have bought a bag of spuds in the shop. ....OUTRAGEOUS PRICE I THOUGHT. . Never again.Posted on Michelle ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had an amazing experience here! We first visited about two months ago after my operation, and we were warmly welcomed with open arms and fantastic hospitality. We decided to come back again since we were in the area, and we're so glad we did! The food is hearty and delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for families. I highly recommend visiting and enjoying a meal here!Posted on Jozefina KotruchovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a pleasant fish and chips restaurant.

Very welcoming staff with excellent customer service skills. We were offered a variety of menu options alongside our fish and chips – we were very happy that we could swap out our mushy peas for garden peas! Lovely fresh fish that, along with the fish was not greasy, just perfect! We ordered one large and one regular cod and chips and the portion sizes were just right. Very friendly staff had a chat with us after our meal and we felt happy to have stopped here on a whim.

Loved the friendly vibe and lovely staff here today! Thank you for the extra sauce – never had anyone offer in other places so made our day 😂 Food was tasty and hot too.

Friendly and conscientious service despite it being very busy for payday Friday supper. Used the self service screen to order and food which was hot and delicious was served quickly and with a smile from Nicky.
