The reason I have given one star is that we booked a table for 3.30 and was shown to our table when we arrived. 15 minutes later we had not had a menu or any offer of a drink etc. I felt very very sorry for the staff as they were so busy and could not keep up with service. My advice is not to pack out the tables if you don’t have the staff to cope. Not their fault

No fault of the staff but no fish and chips. The alternative was fine, though.

Staff were great, food was superb, only downside was that there were two very noisy men and some noisey children at a table next to us - they were part of a table of 9 people, 4 adults and 5 children!! Shouldn't be allowed after 7pm on a Saturday night!
