The fish is always beautifully fresh, batter is light and crisp and the side salad is delicious with a very tasty dressing. Staff efficient and unobtrusive, yet friendly and welcoming

Excellent food. I opted for the fish taco starter. My wife had the Prawn Cocktail starter. Main meals of Crab & Lobster Roll and the Monkfish special with tikka sauce that was promoted on the day. The food was fresh, full of flavour and presented perfectly. Your staff are friendly and attentive, with a knowledge of all the food that is on offer. This was our second trip. We will be back soon.

Special joint birthday treat as we all like seafood. Service was very good, attentive but not in your face. Food - sharing seafood platters - was lovely and plenty of it. Having the lobster halved and the king prawns partly peeled made it easier to enjoy without messing around trying to get the flesh out. Only downer was they had run out of cider.

Very good! Only criticism … and the food was delicious - is that the plate looked too beige and needed something green on it to make it look more attractive imho.

Great venue - love the both style seating, service friendly and efficient. Perfectly cooked fish and amazing crispy batter and real chips, tartare sauce delicious. Scallop starter way overpriced at £16 for 2 tiny, albeit perfectly cooked, scallops. Would recommend a revisit
