Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Battered oyster was tasty and fresh."
  • "The lobster was well-cooked and the fish & chips was among the best we had ever had."
  • "Fish and chips are delicious. The outer layer was crispy and addictive. Inner fresh was juicy."
  • "The calamari was exceptional, not in the least bit chewy, as you often find."
  • "The seafood is fresh, served hot and tastes scrumptious."
  • "The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside without any fishiness whatsoever."
  • "Langoustines were garlicky and nice!"
  • "The fish & chips with tar tare dip 🙌 Was great after walking around 7 miles."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately, front line staff of such wonderful food are those not well trained."
  • "A good portion of fish and a bit short for chips."
  • "Another big thing I think was really bad you had to pay £1.50 for any sauces (ketchup, mayo, etc)."
  • "The staff could do better though. The waitress we had felt a bit rude and lacked any kind of enthusiasm."
  • "The chips were hearty and crispy (but lacked salt)."
  • "It is a bit expensive compared to other places which they do not use frozen chips."
  • "Waited for a good 15 minutes in the queue without an acknowledgement."
  • "I ordered delivery and the squid was simply terrible, overcooked and dry."

  • "Been waiting to eat here for a while now and wasn’t disappointed. Price pretty reasonable and quality was very good."
  • "Considering it was a Sunday in August around mid-afternoon, service was quite slow and it took around 20 minutes from the start of the counter to get to the front and served."
  • "We stayed local 5 days, first night we had evening meal here. The atmosphere and food was that amazing we returned on our final evening."
