Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the fish, particularly when prepared by the owner's young daughter—truly a family affair. Reviewers frequently mention the vast portion sizes that deliver great value for money, perfectly suiting a hungry appetite.

Many love the quick takeaway service during lunch hours, ensuring a fresh and satisfying meal on the go. The variety of dishes offered, including their famous fruity curry and rice, keeps patrons intrigued, making each visit unique. The establishment’s cash-only policy, while retro, adds a quirky touch that many appreciate.

Most Disliked

Some patrons have noted the cash-only policy can be inconvenient, especially for those unprepared, potentially causing delays in what is otherwise a swift service. While the atmosphere excels at being casual and family-friendly, a few have mentioned that it might sometimes feel a bit cramped during peak hours, especially for those with larger families. A limited menu can also limit options for those seeking more adventurous flavors, although the classic fish and chips remain a highlight. A few diners have also suggested longer operating hours would enhance accessibility for evening cravings.
