Very happy with our recent meal at The Fish Factory. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. I am not a fish lover so I had the TBone steak special and it was delicious. We will be going back.

The Fish Factory was fantastic as I remembered from my visit a few years ago. We were disappointwd that the cod for example was only served in batter as I did like the option of 'breadcrumbs' - matzo dusting?? Or steamed.

This was our first trip back to the Fish Factory since the ownership change (it has been a while!) and we were really impressed at every aspect. We had Scallops and Calamari starters, and then both followed with the Lobster main course. Everything was perfectly cooked, tender calamari, tasty scallops, delicious Lobster in garlic butter. The simple salad with the lobster was clean-tasting which worked really well. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert - the Pistachio Tiramisu sounds interesting - but overall we were really impressed with the food and service. We will be back much sooner next time.

The quality & variety of the seafood is excellent. Generous portions, well presented & delicious. The restaurant is relaxing & service that is very attentive & customer focussed. I travel 30 miles to dine here & it’s well worth the journey.

Some of the staff were friendly, others really grumpy. The prawn cocktails was just meh - no real taste. The fish and chips my friend had were really good, and I enjoyed my grilled prawns. The wine was truly disgusting - sauvignon blanc horribly acidic and the chardonnay not much better. Just didn't feel really welcome - it was my birthday - and wouldn't recommend as a result.
