• Get it in a delightful little joint with a classic retro 50's vibe

• I ordered a huge piece of cod with chips and ended with the sticky toffee pudding with strawberry ice cream
• The batter on the fish was light and crisp
• Im giving this restaurant a rating of 5 because the food and service were both excellent even though you can get these dishes in many other restaurants

• S fair to say we were pretty excited to finally be checking out their grub for ourselves
• The fish pieces are huge (I did choose large but still) and the batter is beautifully crisp and grease free
• The chips portion is ridiculously generous and they are the perfect chippy chips
• Super fluffy with a slight taste of groundnut oil but
