“ Staff where amazing, food was well prepaired and tasty, view is amazing, coffee was the best we had around town. ”
“ I took my wife and 3 year old here for lunch on Saturday 1st Feb 2025. This by far is the best fish and chips I have ever eaten in 30 years. The salad was amazing - only would have preferred more radish and red onion. The chips make other chips taste like those potatoes that sit in a cupboard too long and grow roots from them. I couldn’t recommend to go here more, specifically for this dish. Will be back again the next time I am down :) ”
