"Messed order up, prices on the high side for the quality of the food which I have to say was not the nice at all."
"3 times out of 5 wasn't given full order on departure and had to go back."
"Very rude staff who asked us wait outside as we were blocking the airflow to the restaurant."
"Awful rude owner who berates customers in front of other customers."
"Major disorganisation behind the counter, to the point that we almost left."
"However, we had to go back as the fish for one order was missing which was a pain."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Not really cheap but definitely value for money."
"It was so nice and pretty good value for money."
"2 portions of haddock and 1 chips £16.20 very nice huge portions enough chips for 3 people."
"2 medium cod and a medium chips to share left 2 of us nicely full."
"We sat outside so paid takeaway prices which is good value."
"The portion sizes were on the generous side too with even my appetite defeated by the amount of chips I was given (large portion)."
"All the food was great! We weren't able to get a pizza the first time due to staff shortage but we were told ahead of time on the website."
Cons:
"And 9.80 for a large haddock is a little pricey too."
"The fish was slightly dearer but the menu has an asterisk saying it might change so I took that risk."
"The worst pizza margarita ever. On one side of the pizza the dough was still dough."
"The ham and pineapple is a bit bland but the base was so nice."
"The most mediocre fish I’ve ever had in a seaside town and remarkably expensive."
"Had both cod and haddock - the batter wasn’t crunchy and the portion sizes really small for the high price."
