    Always good quality and variety. Great service and sitting outside on a warm evening is perfect. Something for everyone from marinated trout with soba noodles to soft shell crab burger and traditional fish and chips.

    Very busy night and staff did their best. Orders taken after us came out before ours. Busy stream of takeaway orders - lots of people crushed into a small space making it a bit noisy. Credit to the staff managing it all but the constant stream of people and long wait time for food did not make it a pleasant dine in experience.
