We live half an hour drive away so eating in is definitely more convenient. It was very busy which was good to see, and a great atmosphere with clearly a few regulars present. We had a salt pepper squid for starter, the medium cod chips with mushy peas and two drinks. The squid was lovely, cooked just right and the cod was perfect. Just the right amount of chips (most places give you way too many) and nice to have mushy peas that don't taste of their soaking liquid. Given how busy it was, the service was pretty good, and friendly too. We will return again.

The first time I called, a friendly gentleman assured me that they have a separate fryer to cook gluten-free chips, which was greatly appreciated. However, the next two times a woman answered and informed me that the chips are fried in the same oil as the batter, so they cannot be considered gluten-free. Despite my previous experience with gluten-free options, she was dismissive and unhelpful. Fortunately, the gentleman answered the last time and kindly agreed to turn on the gluten-free fryer for us. It is important for all staff to be aware of the restaurant's capabilities, especially when it comes to accommodating customers with autoimmune diseases like celiac or food allergies. Despite some inconsistencies, overall, it is a decent place to get fish and chips.
