Queued for a little while after 3 pm on Saturday. Seats were slightly too close together. Great service, fab food, and a decent cuppa too. Haddock was tasty and cooked perfectly. Chips were delicious too. We specifically went for fish and chips, but plenty of people around us had other dishes which looked amazing and empty plates left. Good accessible toilet on the first floor, but you do need to be able bodied to get there, which I thought was strange. Nice touch with the mints afterwards!

Nice shop, but it would cost me more in petrol and parking charges to return the 2 salt and pepper pots I bought Friday 1st November! If thinking about buying the 'mushroom' salt and pepper pots, check the holes haven't been glazed over like mine!

Very rude shopkeeper. If you have a child with you, The moment you enter the shop, her eyes will be on you and she will find an excuse to say something rude in the end. Not a smiley face comment but angry looking , rude feedback. The moment I caught her eyes staring at my child (who was strapped on pram at the time), I knew something was coming. And a question followed in two minutes, “is her hand sticky?” (No it wasn’t) Spoiled my day but I guess some people are like that, full of poison towards children. Stay away.
