It's quite pricey and portions aren't huge but the chips are possibly the best I've ever had. Delicious again on a recent visit. Great stuff.

Should have noted the place was empty when my girlfriend and I went in. Now I know why. Ordered fish and chips and scampi and chips with a pot of tea for two. Amiable enough blonde (no hairnet) lady took our order and we found a table in the corner. Cups were brought and then a pot of tea which needed quickly refilling. Table and dinner mats needed a wipe but cups and plates were just placed there. Food arrived too quickly, was greasy, dark and tasted of old oil. Couldn’t finish. Toilet hasn’t been cleaned in an age, detritus on the pan, black ring on the water level. Soap watered down. £17+ for that. That will be our last visit.

The chips were lovely and my scampi was lovely, tender and beautifully breadcrumbed. They also allow dogs inside which is a big bonus on a wet day like today!

It's a shame as it's been there a long time previous reviews said it looked like old oil! I agree it didn't look light and crispy as what fish should look like and for £6.40 it's not even fit for the seagulls. The management either don't read reviews or just don't care and wait for the next tourist to come in.
