"If you want to feel transported to 1970s decor, this is the place to go. I think they 'd get more customers by hiring a professional designer to update the ambiance. Food was ok, but could have used something special that would likely come from hiring or consulting a modern professional chef. The fried haddock had a pleasant coating, so that should be kept. The french fries seemed to be from frozen, not fresh. The sampling of many types of salad with the grilled chicken was nice, but better seasoning of the chicken would have been nice. This is a tourist town, so they really ought to have on hand condiments (like hot chilli pepper sauce) that are standard in other countries. The Wi-Fi didn 't work, and staff said it was always terrible on the rare occasions when it did work. It was obvious that the owners failed to use a competent IT network professional, because neither their network name nor password were customized to be human friendly (just the garbled string of numbers and letters that the internet provider gives as a default). Bottom line: this place CLEARLY would benefit from the owners looking around at their nearly empty restaurant and saying to themselves, hmmm, perhaps we might make a lot more money in the long run by paying a short-term professional restaurant business consultant to bring us into the 21st century now. Heck, the owners should toss themselves in as a candidate for the reality show Restaurant Makeover."

"avoid them at all costs! the worst we ever had. first of all, when they go in no one big they are sure what to do. we sat on a dirty table while we found out everything. I went in and asked. a coworker for menus. I was directed to a dirty rack on the wall. plastic coated menus dirty with fat. we should have gone! I asked that the table be cleaned twice before I did it myself. you have to pay for eating first and we know why now! I asked the waiter about a few courts, but he didn't know the answer to any of the asking so that we played it safely (we thought) with two chickenburgers two child meals. they'll be handed over a summer that'll go out when you're ready to eat. for a £60 meal they would expect it to be served on their table. our summer went away, I went up to get our food, obviously I couldn't carry everything, so had to make some trips without someone offering a hand. back for salt, pfeffer and sauces, all in packages caffe style again this was £60. now for eating. a bite of my burger and I felt sick. soggy, fat, cold and disgusting, a strange sweetcorn and pineapple water sauce on the side, which was lukewarm! our children's dishes, where cold and tasteless rubbish. the speck on our burger was the worst ever 90% drop in fat. No one came by to ask if our food was okay. we've left the whole thing. I read some critiken at the table and knew that literally there was no point in complaining. we have risen and gone. it was a tourist trap and it must be closed!"
