Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The starter of King Prawns was the best I’ve ever had, huge prawns with very tasty garlic butter sauce."

  • "The food was brilliant and the staff were all really attentive."
  • "The seafood platter for 2 (pictured) and there was so much variety and excellent quality."

  • "The quality of the food is excellent with a very substantial menu sure to suit any lover of fish and chips and related meals."

Cons:

  • "A little too much seasoning but I like it. The lobster was fresh and the sea bass was ok."
  • "It's fine. Some of our party had the haddock/chips offer. Chips were poor, floppy, with a grainy exterior."
  • "The Malaysian seafood curry is good...Theres no good soundproofing, noisy but nice view."
  • "A little too much seasoning but I like it. The only side dish was chips."
  • "The Malaysian seafood curry is good. The grilled cod was so fresh, doesn't even need the capers."
  • "The fish was cooked perfectly and the mushy peas were lovely. The chips were very nice but I prefer them crispy."
  • "Food was nice but not really good value for money."
  • "Staff were great but the food was bland. Had the cod and chips - absolutely no taste in the fish at all."
