Value for Money

Pros:

• "If you're visiting Looe and don't fancy wasting money on a restaurant, I can highly recommend it."

• "Best fish and chips I have ever had! The batter was cooked all the way through, not soggy or greasy at all."
• "Superb, recommend monkfish bites and chips, I will never eat anything else in looe again from a chip shop. Only 5. 99."
• "We drove 25 minutes to Looe specifically to get fish and chips from Catch."
• "The prices were a little high with cod at £7.95 just for the fish, haddock at £8.50 and a further £2.45 for the regular chips."
• "Price for the two meals£6:99+£1:50 for two fizzy drinks."
• "Very reasonable prices. I will definitely make a second visit."

Cons:

• "What a rip off! Go to Kelly's- much better portions!"
• "We payed a lot of money for our food to have to throw it away."
• "2.50 for cheese on top and barely a sprinkle!"
• "Paid £20 for 2 large haddock and chips, if the haddock was any smaller it would have been a fish finger."
• "I don’t mind paying if I feel I had value for money but I certainly felt cheated, very very average and not worth the money."
• "Not worth the price expensive for fish and chips and wasn't fresh."
• "Average prices...good portion of chips for kids..nice cheesy chips..fish was nice but small sat atop a non generous layer of chips."
• "Paid £40.00 for 2 large cod and chips, 3 kids fish and chips and chicken nuggets and chips. Mmm not the best I've had."
