This place is lovely nice decor, very clean, owners are friendly and the staff that served me and my mum. We had the Fish & Chips and it was lovely and fresh. Toilet facilities exceptionally clean. Overall whole place was lovely would definitely recommend this place. If I came again don’t think I’d eat anywhere but here.

I'm from South America and I'm traveling by motorcycle in England, My experience was excellent at this restaurant, an attendant that I don't remember the name was super attentive and patient in explaining each typical dish, I'll definitely be back one day...

Popped to Sounthend on Sea after a visit nearby and we always get our fish and chips fom the front take away counter, this time as the weather wasn't ideal we decided to sit in and glad we did. The food was delicious and it felt a bit more "posh" served on a plate with a knife and fork with side salad and peas. The staff were very friendly and very welcoming. Will be eating in again next time we visit.

Lovely place right by the beach, with sea view. Friendly helpful staff, and spotlessly clean, including the toilet. Freshly cooked food, very well presented, and generous portions. We went for lunch, and liked the place so much that we came back for breakfast the next morning.

1st time visiting, got given a menu and told order at the counter. Ordered: kids chicken nuggets and chips, orange fruit shoot, bacon roll and hot choclate all come to 19. Staff were friendly, had the heater going which helped as it was cold outside and view of the beach. Will be returning soon!

The best chips I have had in donkey years... brown and crispy. Not soggy or undercooked chips that you normally get from such places. The fish was delicious. Well worth a visit from the other 11 fish and chip bars by the pier. They also do great ice-creams too!

I had the fish and chips and I have a 9 month fussy eater and she loved a munch on the fish and chips my 12 year old son lives off chicken nugget chips and beans and he said they were best his had we'd definitely return again. Very clean environment and the staff were so friendly interacted with kids and pram friendly also best donuts they were 10/10 and cookie dough & ice cream demolished by the son. Thankyou very much again see you again soon xx
