"The food was excellent, my family all had pizza's and we enjoyed every bit of it and you get plenty of slices."
Cons:
"Average quality fish, so over priced. Cost me £230 for 5 fish and chips £23 each and £7 for a pint of beer."
"The cod was so thin that it had dried out and was inedible (it was literally 4mm thick)."
"The food was substandard, the tops of our fish were cold and soggy, the bottoms were so hard that we had to remove the batter."
"4 out of the 5 dinners were poorly cooked...fish and chips was okay..wasn't expecting the crab to be so bad, it was also cold."
"The piece of £9.20p cod they sold me would of not won any awards."

"None of the food was hot as expected after waiting an hour."
Service
Pros:

"Service was perfect and food was really tasty with a good selection of beers."
"The staff are very polite, very helpful and attentive but not intrusive."
Cons:
"All of the free tables were for 4 people so we started to move them around so we could eat together, a staff member arrived and what i can only say is shouted at us to stop moving the tables."
"Whilst we were eating staff were cleaning up around us, dragging in chairs and sweeping etc. we felt so unwelcome and irritating, we had to rush."
"Absolutely appalling. Took my wife, 2 children and Mother and Father in-law to have lunch here... they were not serving food at the moment and they couldn't tell us when they would start."
"Very rude staff. Outright refused to let my six year old use the toilet because we weren’t paying customers."
"We visited this restaurant this week and were appalled by the sloppy disregard for covid precautions."
"Rude and incompetent service doesn't deserve custom."
"The service let the place down slightly as they didn’t check if the food was ok and didn’t take the plates when we finished."
