What to order
Battered Cod and Chips
Considered a 'very reliable' staple of this 'venerable chipper,' the cod is praised for being 'carefully cooked' with a thin, non-soggy batter that has a 'pleasing crunch.'
Grilled Halibut
While the restaurant is known for its 'super-generous portions' of fried favorites, the 'fresh grilled fish is always superb, particularly the halibut,' according to frequent diners.
Berry Crumble with Hot Custard
An outstandingly comforting traditional dessert that reviewers highlight as one of the best they've had in years.
