Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Diners rave about the masala fish, perfectly flaky and bursting with flavor—a must-try for any seafood lover. The peri-peri chicken stands out for its tender meat and zesty sauces, often heralded as the star of the menu. Customers particularly enjoy the freshly prepared chips, with the right balance of crispness and fluffiness, which pair well with a variety of main dishes. Besides the delicious food, the friendly customer service leaves a lasting impression, ensuring a pleasant visit every time. The cozy yet energetic vibe adds to the allure, making it a beloved local spot.
Most Disliked
Despite the overall positive reputation, some customers have noted that wait times can be longer during peak hours, especially on bustling Saturday evenings. A few diners expressed a desire for more seating options, as it can get crowded due to its popularity. While the menu is extensive, some have suggested that certain dishes might benefit from additional seasoning or flavor variations. A handful of reviews mention occasional inconsistency in food presentation, though the taste typically remains top-notch. These minor criticisms are outweighed by the strong overall experience but are worth considering during busy hours.

went here the customer service firstly was spectacular, young looking lad at the front definitely knows how to look after his customers as everyone was greeting him as they walked in, secondly the food was out of this world. Me and my wife had a large fish and chips, steak sandwhich and we shared a chicken and chips, honestly that was easily the best cooked COD i’ve ever eaten, so tender and flaky, quality was top notch. Great food, Best customer service. 100% Coming back . Thanks shak .
