It was my visit - but won’t be the last! It was so lovely - staff were attentive without being overbearing! Food was superb - my dad said it was one of the best fish & chips he’d had, specially commenting on the wonderful, light, crispy batter - a really lovely restaurant with really lovely staff

The restaurant is an unexpected gem. Based on a former fast-food building, they serve a variety of food, from classic fish and chips to shell fish to classic fish cookery. We ate from a starter board containing a selectionfrom the main menu, including amazing tempura oysters, followed by monkfish with a pesto sauce. Beautifully cooked and presented with prompt efficient service. And it is accessible and easy to park, which is a real asset!

We had been wanting to try out the Crab and Lobster for a while. It did not disappoint. Friendly and informative staff. Choice on menu was fabulous. We had starters and mains (no room for dessert), food for us was amazing, monkfish and calamari starters, haddock and scampi mains with sides. All served with style. We will definitely be back.

Restaurant ambience is excellent. Food is good. Great selection of drinks too. Sadly the service fell off a cliff, starting excellent but ended up with us leaving having waited 15 mins for the dessert menu. Shame as it was really good up to that point but we ended up leaving disappointed.

Food was amazing, cocktails were very good, good choice of wine. The visit was lovely but tarnished by a female member of waiting staff who was rude and extremely sarcastic, took the shine off the experience.

The food and staff were lovely! The service was just far too quick, within 5 minutes of sitting down we had been asked for our drink order and then someone came and asked for our food order. It’s nice to get your drinks and then order food. There was very little time between our starter and mains too, we were in and out in just over an hour!

Awesome selection to choose from- we went for the crab and lobster roll, and the special of the day monkfish, both served with truffle fries. We also had the side of pickled eggs. Every bite was absolutely delicious
