We made a booking on Monday evening, it wasn't busy at all, but the lovely guys explained that they just opened. We had fish & chips, which they also make gluten-free. Portions were very generous. We tried their delicious Ice cream (they customised it just for us so we could try more than one flavour, we loved it! Thanks guys!). Overall it was a great experience with quick service and delicious food.
