I will not return to this restaurant because the chips and Southern fried chicken fillet burger were cold, and the bap was not toasted.

The food at this restaurant was terrible. The fresh cod was barely edible, while the chicken goujons were so overcooked that the batter just cracked off and the kids couldn't even chew them. We were not offered any salt or vinegar. The staff were unfriendly. I would recommend avoiding this place as it was a total waste of money and we ended up throwing the food away.

Ordered a cod. Got home and it was so over cooked I could have beaten off the kitchen counter. Hard batter not a good sign box it came in had a layer of grease on the bottom. Picked around the fish inside the horrible hard greasy batter until I chucked it into the bin. Never again. Docs get your act together there is a lot of chippy out there.
