About

A classic seaside fish and chip shop that is a staple for many holidaymakers. The general vibe is positive, with many praising the fresh, crispy fish and generous portions. It is a great spot to grab a feed and head to the nearby park or beach. However, wait times can blow out during busy periods, and some customers have been let down by inconsistent cooking.
