"We booked early at 6:30pm mid week. We were greeted very pleasantly and shown upstairs to a table. The restaurant was already half full. The service, however was slow. The server omitted to to tell us about the special . The menu had a heavy bias towards fish which we expected but seemed rather pricey. When the server arrived , I asked about the special, which was sea bas on a bed of mashed potatoes, with a decoration of green bits for £24. Unfortunately the ceiling is low the floor is hard, so the result is excessive noise. There was a party of raucous young men and as the restaurant filled up, the noise got worse. At times I struggled to hear what my husband was saying across the table. The food was piping hot and mine was nicely presented. My husband had battered fish chips, the chips served in a chipped enamel pie dish. When the bill arrived, my meal was £28 not £24., I could not be bothered to quibble about it, so we paid left. Overall I think it’s trying to be trendy, without succeeding., without enough attention to detail. The staff were barely coping we’re running up down stairs. There was only one server with help from a young man downstairs. For the size of restaurant, this is inadequate. The prices do not justify the quality overall it felt like “ rip off the tourist” time in a short season."

I got to say I don’t understand the negative reviews, I just took my family out and dined here, I was so thankful I didn’t take any notice of the bad reviews as my experience was absolutely fantastic, the food was amazing, cooked to perfection, and very tasty, the staff were very attentive and friendly, the manager went out of his way to make our visit one to remember, we will definitely go back again Kid-friendliness: Great food portions Service: Dine in

Wish we had seen the reviews before getting a take away from here. We ordered 2x fish and chips and 2x very overpriced sausage and chips (9.95) For the price we would have expected proper chip shop chips but these were likely frozen chips, and very dry. The fish was ok but not very much of it. The sausage was awful, burnt and tasted vile. We pay less in London and much better quality. Not what we expected from a seaside fish and chip shop. Probably one of the worst we’ve been to. Avoid and go elsewhere.
