Surprisingly good fish and cheap tea. Very busy, especially if there's a show on next door at the Festival Theatre. Booking advised. We will definitely be back.

Popped in here for breakfast/lunch and the food and service was unbelievable. I got the breakfast roll with 3 items (sausage, rashers and egg) and this roll was stuffed with 2 sausages, 2 rashers and an egg extremely great value for less than £6. The menu has something for everyone. Highly recommended this place if you're looking for a quick bite to eat.

Visited this restaurant for lunch and had traditional fish and chips. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The prices were reasonable. The food was delicious. The fish was battered to perfection, the chips were thick cut, and the mushy peas were very tasty.

Came here to try their legendary fish and chips and it did not disappoint!! The fish was extra big, I had to take away and left me both super full. It was fresh, the fish meat was not smell fishy at all, batter was extra crunchy and flavourfull.. I like their tartar sauce and brown sauce too, it adds depth. Pancake stack was just ok though The staffs were all lovely and quick. Good job. No wonder this restaurant has been running long 👍🏻

Overall great experience, lovely staff. Also we're from Belgium and weren't expecting fries with an omelette so just know what you're getting into. We also had a milkshake to go, and that one was amazing

I have visited a couple of times now and I can say that with every visit I have been met by welcoming staff and I have been seated and served quickly. The food was lovely and very competitively priced. All in all a lovely dining experience

It's a nice restaurant for from the city centre with friendly staff. We tried fish and chips and the steak pie, and both of them were delicious.The deep fried mars bar is also worth trying.

The waiter was so sweet, I am a deaf person and it’s quite a loud atmosphere she was very accommodating, writing down her questions in case I didn’t hear and even offered to turn the music down (which I said no to but flattered). She went above and beyond. Overall it is a loud atmosphere but the food and the staff make it great.
