"The staff were constantly avoiding eye contact so it was difficult to get served."
"We had lunch and was served by the rudest waitress we have ever encountered, she spoke to us like we were naughty kids."
"Pretty racist staff because I was with a coloured person the guy with the funny eye just ignored me and asked the non coloured people to come up first after I had waited over 10mins to be served."

Cons:

"A fish and chip shop that cannot manage to put salt and vinegar on the fish and chips despite asking."
"The 8oz cod they specify was so over cooked and rubber."
"The scampi is several times running has been near enough black on the outside, and mush on the inside."
"Food was disappointing; roast potatoes were shrivelled up rocks, soggy Yorkshire puddings, fish was overcooked."
"The chicken wings my husband had were tough and tasted like them had been done in the microwave."
"The food was inedible, the calamari as a starter was chewy and clearly not fresh."

Cons:

"But now, I rarely go as it has become a tourist attraction, with prices through the roof and quality on par with Mcdonalds."
"For £8.50 take away price for fish and chips (cod), the portion was pretty small."
"Food in the restaurant was a little on the expensive side."
"A bit on the pricey side, but for the quality I don’t mind paying."

Facilities and Environment
Pros:
"Great spacing and great with covid measures."
"Very efficient parking and queue system."

"Fully wheelchair accessible, the restaurant has a lift."
Cons:
"Waited another 25 minutes for drinks to come out."
"Chaotic queues reaching half way down the shop."
"Although we are aware the lobsters are to be eaten, is their any need to treat their last remaining days so badly. So many in a tank unable to move."
"The one thing that is a slightly off putting os the ostrich outside who seems horribly unhappy & is always pacing the fence & aggressively follows people as they walk by it’s enclosure."
"We were like headless chickens trying to get find out where the entrance was."
"The milkshake shack is not accessible for wheelchair users."
"Bit disappointed with other members of public in the farm shop one had no mask on and another couple just pottered around which made it difficult to pass them."
