   Had the fish and chips. The fish was enormous and tasted beautiful but the batter was uncooked on the inside so I was unable to eat it. The chips were dry and on the hard side, so I didn’t eat them either. A different potatoes needs to be sourced. I did tell them but no compensation was offered

   The food was amazing. I had potted lobster, and my husband had salt and chilli squid with Asian slaw and dipping sauce for starters. We both had haddock and chips with mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce. Although we tried our best, we couldn't finish our mains, although managed the fish. The fish was beautiful and the batter was so light.

   Wonder food and service. Quite bright and noisy. I found the upbeat pop music too loud and intrusive. more soothing choices would have been better. Very much worth dining here.

   No longer value for money- very little seafood in the linguine for £27!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious, our server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and there is a wide choice of dishes. Would return if we go back to the area.
