Most Disliked
Some visitors mention the cash-only policy, which can be inconvenient for those accustomed to card payments. The limited seating might also turn away large groups during busy hours, pushing some to take their meals to-go. While the takeaway service is efficient, the casual dining experience lacks elaborate decor, which may not appeal to everyone seeking a more upscale experience. Additionally, not every dish caters to all dietary preferences, limiting options for vegans or vegetarians.

I still think this place is a little gem of a chippy, I don't know what it is but I'm usually quite fussy when it comes to chippies. Food is always fresh and the chips are always golden brown on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle, the burgers are to die for especially the beefburger, as for the fish it's never too greasy, the breaded fish is my personal favourite. Prices seem to have risen but that's like that everywhere at the moment. Staff are always friendly and very welcoming.
