We genuinely had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded so good. We settled on the fish of the day (cod), lobster, oysters and minestrone soup, everything was very flavorful and the staff was so nice.
Very nice restaurant. Went for the reviews and wasn't disappointed. We had lunch during the week and got to enjoy the lunch menu (2 courses for £23!) Don't be tricked by the "wee fish dinner" (see photo) it was big enough!! Had mussels as a starters and once again much bigger than assumed and delicious! Definitely recommend
Very happy with our experience, all three of us ordered different things and were very pleased with both the food and the service. The pasta was freshly made, the battered seafood was delicious, even the chips were particularly good. We'll be coming back!
My wife and I went out for a rare date night here the other month. This place has been on my list of places to go for such a long time, after many recommendations. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was clean and modern. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive but also weren’t felt rushed. The only downside was the price as it was expensive, but saying that it was very good quality. For starters I got the prawns and my wife for the calamari. Both were delicious and very well cooked. My only gripe that the prawns were quite a small portion but it’s probably a good thing as we shouldn’t be greedy. For mains, we had to get a fish and chips each. There were other appealing things in the menu but I wanted to see if their fish and chips lived up to the hype. It was lovely! The fish had a crispy outer with a soft and delicate centre and tasted great. The chips were very good too. The portions were large and not many people around could finish theirs. I also wanted to try the garlic roast potatoes. These were okay but would’ve preferred them if they were crisper. They did have a nice garlic flavour. We didn’t have a dessert because we were so full! Overall a very enjoyable evening meal and I’d love to come back!
Taking fish and chips to the next level! My prayers to the gluten free gods have been answered and I've found a GLUTEN FREE FISH SUPPER! I'm delighted. It's a smart establishment with parking just outside. It's disabled friendly with step free wheelchair access. It's been a long time since I had a fish and chips where the fish fills the box, and I'm happy to report that the fish did here. The gluten free batter was light and crisp. I'm definitely going back!
We had an incredible family meal here with such great service. The waiter was so nice and couldn’t fault the bubbly, attentive service. The food was also incredible and will definitely be coming back. Huge compliments to the establishment for a lovely meal!
The takeaway was closed at 3:30pm Sunday so I ordered in the restaurant next door. The service was very prompt and friendly but when you said "Ten pounds please sir" that's what I expected to be charged, not £10.30. Card payment surcharges have been unlawful since January 2018. I was obliged to wait outside. The fish supper while it looked great and had good texture was tainted by having been cooked in old oil. Disappointing for a multiple award winning chippy.
We Ordered a haddock and smoked haddock supper, amazing and the best fish we have eaten in a long time, as good or better than the Oregon Smoke House, in USA, or Doyle's in Sydney harbour, AUS. The prawns were also very delicious, XL and juicy, the beer batter had great flavour. Would give 5 stars, but the twice cooking in the chips was not evident, they were only average. Would definitely return and hope that we do!
Had α fantastic meal here last month. I ordered the mussels and husband had α fish platter. Both dishes were cooked very well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered α cocktail which was also well made. The restaurant was fully booked but that did not impact the service. The servers were polite and friendly and we did not have to wait for long to receive drinks and food. I would recommend booking on α weekend evening.
