First visit and it definitely won't be my last. Fish and chips was amazing, even better than Anstruther. Staff were lovely and friendly, my friends all said the same.

Staff very welcoming. Especially main manager (I think he was maybe Italian, didn’t catch his name sorry… apologies if he wasn’t Italian too) Would come back. Great food.

Important Update:

Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

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
