Most Disliked
A few customers have noted that finding seating during peak hours can be a challenge, especially when the crowd swells during lunchtime. A limited menu on certain days has also left some patrons wanting more options, particularly for gluten-free meals, which are only available on Mondays and Tuesdays. While most dishes receive high praise, occasional reviews mention that the wait time for fresh dishes can be longer during busy periods, which might deter those looking for a quick bite. Overall, preparing for a bustling atmosphere adds charm but may require patience during peak times.

Best fish and chips EVER! I came in here with my family this week and was warmly greeted by Brad who had a lovely chat with us, even giving us great recommendations on our food and I even got my son to try scampi for the first time! Definitely recommend coming here!

Gluten free fish and chips (Monday and Tuesday only)!! Lots of care was taken in making sure everything is separated so there is no contamination. I ordered a medium haddock which was so much food but really really good! Service was outstanding! Thank you!

Delicious, freshly cooked "small" fish and chips was only £7 (including a drink) and as much as I could eat. One block in from the beach and you can eat in or take away. Highly recommended.
