    We had a lovely time at Shoals. The staff were welcoming and attentive to us and our well behaved dog. The weather outside was appalling but the atmosphere inside was warm and lovely. The food was lovely but the fish and chips was a little expensive considering there were no peas and the fish was a little small. Plenty of food but generally an expensive night.
