Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the fresh, perfectly cooked fish and chips, often considering it matchless outside the seaside. The crispy chips complement the moist fish beautifully, making it a comforting choice for many. Additionally, the Chinese options, particularly the roast duck dishes and sweet and sour plates, receive consistent praise.
Patrons highlight the friendly demeanor of the staff, who are quick to accommodate orders and greet returning customers by name. The efficient service streamlines the ordering process—both over the phone and in-person—allowing for a remarkably quick turnaround time on orders. The affordability of the menu, with many items priced under £10, garners excitement, making it an excellent value for the quality offered.
Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the seating capacity can feel limited, especially during busy lunch hours. This can lead to a less-than-ideal experience for those looking to enjoy a sit-down meal. The restaurant’s cash-only payment policy occasionally catches customers off guard, leading to inconvenience if they are unprepared.
A few reviews pointed out that the absence of delivery services stands out as a drawback, particularly for those wishing to enjoy the food without visiting the location. While the ambiance is casual, some patrons feel it could benefit from a bit more decor to enhance the dining aesthetic.

I sat in the car outside while my wife bought the fish and chips. Lovely fish, wonderful chips. Probably only bettered by eating by the sea at (say) Blackpool.
