Best fish and chips not only for the quality of food, it is all about their services! We changed our table for 3 times before we settled, sorry that we were like Goldilocks, too hot too cold. The staffs really care about our feelings and helped us to sit at the table which suits our needs.

A really nice place to meet up with friends in a very relaxed atmosphere. The menu had a good selection of food and drinks. The service by polite, friendly staff was good. They did not rush us so it was great to relax and enjoy our time. Price wise it’s quite expensive so would only go back occasionally.
