Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Really disappointing. Staff surly, fish and chips - nice batter but very dry chips and tasteless fish. Husband had chicken n mushroom pie which was soggy and not properly cooked. Very expensive for the quality.

Food is OK. A bit expensive for take out option and staff really need to up their game. Some people are on holiday and made to feel a nuisance.

We've been coming here for years and it's gone downhill I'm afraid. My 14 year old son ordered a portion of chips and we waited about 15 minutes outside. I moved inside to see if we hadn't been forgotten about as it was about 3pm...and not that busy. After standing there for a while I was asked to wait outside, how long does it take to serve 1 portion of chips!!!!!!!. We will be going elsewhere from now on.More

We were originally going to go somewhere else on the other side of town for our cod and chips but passed this place en route to the coastal walk to Holcombe and decided to pop in on our return. Very glad we did. Good value...lunch time deal with cod and chips, tea and bread and butter for two. Food was very tasty and the service was excellent.More
