I told the waitress who was very nice) I needed the peas to be cooked soft as I have difficulty swallowing hard food and to make sure they were hot. I assumed the fish would be battered, which I shouldn 't have done. When the meal came, the peas were too hard for me, so they hadn 't been cooked enough to my liking and only just warm. The fish was breaded not battered. It looked overcooked at one end as it was very hard! Both our fish portions were of the same size. I think this fish was NOT fresh but had just been taken out of a packet and cooked from frozen! Not good! The chips were nice and fluffy on the inside, but there weren 't that many of them! On paying, I told the another) waitress that I hadn 't been able to eat the peas or the outside of the fish as it was breaded not battered. All she said was Oh, I 'm sorry about that. That 'll be £20 please ! Awful attitude should have offered a discount) and won 't be having fish and chips there again. Fine if you like frozen fish!

The restaurant has simple decor, friendly staff, and a straightforward menu that never fails to make me feel welcome and at ease. I appreciate that they always offer a vegan option from their cake selection, as well as vegan milk for beverages. Recently, I tried the falafel and couscous dish, and was impressed by the quality and affordability (priced at less than £7). Additionally, they offer a vegetable tart and bean chili that can be easily made vegan, as well as a vegan lasagna that is frequently on the menu.
