Ordered beer battered haddock & chips. Fish was really good There was no coleslaw available, but I was able to get extra fries instead. My partner had a classic burger and enjoyed it. The employee was friendly and patient. Special instructions of condiments on the side were accommodated properly.

The best fish and chips I've had in a long time! The basic haddock and chips comes with coleslaw and a lemon slice It's very tasty! The batter is light and the fish has huge hearty flakes! Coming from England, I've eaten lots of fish and chips! Well done, it's fab! Highly recommend I added my own mango coleslaw, however is did come with a wee container of it.
