Most Disliked
Some diners have noted that the physical shop can appear a bit shabby, which may not appeal to everyone. While the food shines, the ambiance within may feel less polished than expected for some guests. It’s worth keeping in mind that the busiest times usually crowd the atmosphere, particularly on Saturdays at 6 PM when the restaurant operates at 100% capacity. This rush can lead to a cramped experience. Lastly, while the takeaway option is convenient, those desiring a sit-down environment might be disappointed at peak hours when seating is scarce.

The fish and chips were excellent. That's all I want when I go to a fish and chip shop, so thats all that really matters for me. I don't know why other reviews have been poor, the fish was fresh and delicious and the batter was crispy. The chips were excellent too, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue is the shop itself is a bit shabby. I was taking my order to eat on the beach, so this didn't really matter to me, but I probably wouldn't eat in.

Only tried the fish and chips and they were excellent. Straight out of the fryer, into the box and then into my big mouth! The curry sauce made all the difference so make sure you get a tub.
