The food was super delicious! Seafood is as fresh as what I had in Cornwall (my fav seafood place in the UK). Scallops so juicy. Prawns and mussels and oysters are sweet. Even dessert is great! Abi the restaurant is so welcoming and gave great suggestions. The world class service that she gave was the highlight. Will come back Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This was definitely the best fish and chips I have ever had, everything was a amazing including their service, atmosphere and food! Two things I did not like was butter with fish flavour really not sure about that combination Tomato sauce for mussels was very watery and not rich in flavour I would definitely be back for fish and chips though! : Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fish and Chips with Green Pea Mashed

Perfect atmosphere ! The lady who served us at stage was kind and lovely! We were glad to have dinner here as our first meal in town! The fish and chips are generous with good quantity. And the wild white prawn was amazing. One of the best ! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Honestly, this is the best fish and chips I've ever had! The cod was incredibly fresh, and the batter was crispy without being greasy. Normally, I don't finish my plate of chips and mushy peas, but I was surprised that I managed to clear my plate (the portions are quite generous)! This is definitely a must-try when you're in Bath.

I never expected to write “the best fish and chip of my life”! That was something else! The fish is so good and the process of roast so exactly that it does not look fried, but it tastes like fried! Just incredible! A pleasant surprise
