Had large fish and chips between 2. It was fantastic freshly cooked tasted great will come again and would recommend it.
The guy behind the counter was a really nice man and recognised my father-in-law as a regular customer.
Our chips were hot & tasty and the sausages were lovely.
Customers are also encouraged to phone ahead and place an order for collection.
A really welcoming and friendly service from a spotlessly clean environment.
Seating area is available and there is some limited parking directly outside the entrance. (Ideal for a car picnic!!)
Fish and chips was £11.00, it was a generous sized portion and served piping hot.
Definitely worth keeping on a list of favourites 😍 👌🏿
Fish and chips appear to play second fiddle to all the other food on offer, however the fish was freshly cooked, firm and crisp with a good portion size.
