The gluten free fish and chips was really excellent today and fantastic value at £15 for fish and chips and cup of tea( also bread if you are not gluten free). The fish was so fresh and in lovely crispy batter. Big portions as well! We have been often and I’m sure we will see you again soon. Thank you

Food was great. I’d been before but my husband hadn’t. We had the shared crab nachos which was fantastic. Then we both had the reg fish with chippy chips and we loved how the fish just broke away and the batter was so crispy and not greasy. The staff are so friendly and attentive, nothing was a problem. The value for money was good and pricing on menu wasn’t a lot more than you would pay elsewhere and for how good the food is you don’t mind paying a little bit more. The service was great. Will definitely be back again and again. It’s now our fav place to visit.

My wife and I had a great visit tonight. Attentive and polite staff, not overbearing, options explained, recommendations given. Food was lovely we ordered way too much but delicious non the less. Won’t be our last visit that’s for sure.

Mid-week treat/date night. Crab nachos amazing and mussels for hubby - delicious - wasn't too busy, service was good and quick - very enjoyable. (Car Park hadn't been gritted and was black ice all over - but can't control the weather especially in Scotland)
