“ Beautiful fish and chips and great friendly service. My adult kids and I love eating here. My son loves the scampi and my daughter loves the fish cakes and curry sauce. Delicious yummy food. ”
“ Best fish and chips in town. Beautiful fresh fish with light batter. Freshly cooked chips that are crispy not soggy. Portions are very generous (can definitely share a portion of chips). The batter on both the scampi and the sausage are light, not heavy and not at all greasy. There is a takeaway attached to the restaurant serving the same classics, same quality and taste. Perfect for a summers day or a cold winters night. ”
