Cons:
"Quite expensive for fish and chips too."
"£2.40 for a very small portion of chips from the Takeaway."
"Its not cheap to eat fish and chips anymore and I understand they have increased in price at most places but looking around the restaurant today that is normally full on a Saturday some people may have agreed with us that this was too much of an increase."
"Prices up again ok happens but bread and butter no longer free have to pay by the slice coffee has no taste."
"Not happy with price increase and charging 30pence for one slice of bread."
"£17 for a large fish and chips and had better at the local chippy."
"Not value for the money. 14inc plate dribble of mushy peas 12 frozen CHIPS cost £35 +drinks."

Accessibility & Convenience

"Good access for disabled people and wheelchair access, plenty of accessible parking."
"The click and collect service is excellent."
"Parking is pretty good as long as you don't pick peak times as they do get busy."
"Decent food, clean premises, well organised provided napkins and forks for takeout meals."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, a bit too far to walk from the city centre but worth driving to when the urge for fish and chips takes you."
"Just puzzled as to why when your driving round and in circles to get a parking space when there's a local walking group abandoning their cars in car park and we couldn't get in."
"At present it closes at 8:00pm."
"New ticketing system in the takeaway is ridiculous."
"The whole point is to order and pay before you get there to save time I am fed up of having to ask other customers if they are click and collect."
"The meal was lovely and staff so helpful, but could I give a little advice to the sanitizing of the tables which not only have a surface but edges that are touched more often than the surface yet were not wiped."
"The cook did my pathetic looking tail end of my so called regular fish."
