Most Disliked
Some patrons mention the occasional wait for fresh fish, especially during busy times when demand peaks. While most appreciate the wait for fresh food, a few express a desire for faster service. The limited dessert offerings, predominantly centered around the popular pineapple fritter, leave some customers wanting more variety. A handful of visitors also note that the casual seating arrangement may not be ideal for those seeking a more formal dining experience. Moreover, the tight quarters may feel cramped during busy lunch hours, especially when families gather. Despite minor critiques, the overall consensus remains positive, underscoring the strong community support for this local fish and chip shop.

Marvellous fish and chips. We had large cod, which was made fresh, and two lots of large chips. The picture shows ONE portion of large chips shared between us. Very generous portions. Friendly, helpful staff and quick service, even having to wait for fish to be cooked. Great menu, including smaller, "Credit Crunch" options, and a children's menu. Definitely try them if you're in the area.

Excellent food, very friendly service and understanding staff who will go out their way to help. Very impressed with how fresh the food is and their pea fritters are gorgeous! I'm disabled and clinically vulnerable, when life was at it's worst they would bring food out to our car to reduce the risk and prevent the pain of getting in and out of the car. The other day they were even helping with a petition to keep school children safer in the village. Not only do they serve great food but care about the community they live and work in.
