Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Senior citizens' menu fantastic value at less than £8 for 2 dishes."
  • "We opted for the £5:99 combo & its so good value for the 2 of us."
  • "We had the Christmas menu which was very well priced, such good value that my wife thought there was a typo on the menu!"
  • "Either Haddock and chips, Scampi and chips or a salad. It also included a sweet for less than £8 each."
  • "Very generous portions, the medium was more than enough and a great price for what you got and the high quality and great service."
  • "Gorgeous food!!! We got the family meal deal which had 4 small fish, 2 chips, a fish cake, a pattie, a small sausage, chicken nuggets, and 2 side orders all for £12.99!! Absolute bargain and great value for money. It was cooked to perfection too! All round winner!!"

Cons:

  • "Surprised at Medium Haddock and Chips £12.99."
  • "A bit costly at £30 with two drinks."
  • "I had the seniors meal then found out it was an extra £1 for the dessert. Its already gone up this last year and I cannot justify this extra."

  • "The food was quite expensive but you did get quite large portions."

  • "The service was reasonable, although empty glasses and bottles were not removed and our coffee order was overlooked but it did arrive after we prompted it."
