    The fish and chips were average. I don't think the chips were hand cut. I can cook better hand cut chips at home. So for nearly £18 it was too expensive. Quite disappointed.

    As usual lovely atmosphere and staff. Only complaint was there was no chicken on the Sunday menu and the chips are far too big and difficult to digest. Otherwise food was lovely.

    We had a lovely Sunday roast portion size was brilliant. Pudding was not to hubbies liking but they took it off the bill. Very king gesture to do this.
