We received a warm welcome from very pleasant staff. Our meal was really good. I can honestly say the prawn cocktail was the best I’ve ever tasted and my gluten free haddock was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Service was slow, I had a pitiful starter of BBQ Squid, which honestly, given the £10 price tag, was tiny. Not only was it tiny but incredibly chewy. I brought this to their attention when paying the bill and only response was “sorry to hear that” ? Normally a reduction would be offered. The main course was ok but nothing to write home about. Won’t be rushing back

I ordered dressed crab salad which can only best be described as an offence as a trade description as I had to hunt through the salad to find any crab. The parts I did find were tiny and very little of. My husband ordered the fish supper which for £16 was no better than any fish and chip shop. Will not be back.

Food and service was brilliant, only thing that let it down was the lady on the front desk, rude and abrupt, seemed annoyed we asked for a high chair, was no hello or smile as we came in, and no thanks or goodbye as we left. For a first point of contact coming in to restaurant is not a great first impression.

I was gifted a voucher so decided to visit with my husband, mother and a friend, both myself and mum are Coeliac and the fish & chips were fab. The Lobster was succulent and tasty too. The staff were very attentive and friendly Will certainly be back soon

Food was delicious. I had the half lobster with garlic butter. Very tasty if a bit small. All others in the party had battered haddock and utterly enjoyed it. Batter very crispy. Would recommend visiting but one suggestion would be for the waiting team to volunteer information on the menu such as different fish options available that day.

There was no sirloin steak on the menu the evening we arrived. This precluded any order of surf and turf or steak alone. We were seated directly beside the kitchen which made it noisy and smokey at our table. we ordered the BBQ squid which was very disappointing. No flavour and a very small portion. we also ordered the sour dough bread which was tiny and yet priced highly. The platter for two to share was very nice, However the soft shell crab in batter just tasted of batter, perhaps no batter would have been better, it could have done with some type of bread to soak up the lovely sauce and ordering the corresponding 5 rolls would be over £25 which is excessive for bread.The crab coleslaw was delicious.
