Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The crispy whitebait here stands out for being fresh and properly executed, earning rave reviews from many customers. The friendly and efficient service makes for an enjoyable experience, whether dining in or getting takeout. Those who opt for outdoor seating appreciate the casual atmosphere and proximity to the beach. The menu features well-portioned sandwiches and rolls, offering exceptional value, especially given the prices ranging from £1 to £10. Regulars love the Smoked Mackerel Special, which delivers on flavor and freshness. Overall, it is easy to see why the locals and tourists alike keep coming back for more.

Most Disliked

Some patrons have noted the limited seating possibilities during peak hours as a downside, which could lead to longer waits. Although the service is generally quick, busy times may result in slight delays. A few reviews mention smaller portion sizes for some items, which could leave diners wanting more. Additionally, while the casual vibe is appreciated, some customers might desire a more extensive and refined menu selection. It’s worth noting that the lack of extensive amenities might not appeal to those seeking a full-service dining experience. However, these minor issues don’t seem to detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the food.

Love it! The take away shop is right at the seafront. I ordered special mackerel sandwich and white bait box. So tasty, so fresh and full of flavour. Will be back

If you like fish, there's nowhere to go wrong with visiting this place. A nice little shop on the beach walk with good, decent portions of fresh fish and a welcoming staff.

I couldn’t decide which one to pick between the white bait and the scampi at first, but I chose the white bait. It was the best white bait I’ve ever had. after that I thought the scampi would also great so I tried it and It was good. The lady was so kind and she let us know that we could see a starling murmuration today so we were able to see the amazing show:)

Excellent local business serving high quality food at fair prices. I chose the smoked mackerel roll with horseradish and beetroot. Wow - a brilliant combo of flavours and texture, perfectly executed. Also, service with a smile. Highly recommended.
