    The staff and ambiance as always were welcoming and helpful. The Oysters were so fresh and delicious, as were the langoustines. I had the famous fish & chips which never disappoints and my wife had the Dover Sole which she really enjoyed. We can’t recommend this place enough

    We received a warm welcome. Prompt service good food. The staff we attentive but not intrusive. Also it is not often where you can take your pooch and feel welcome and not cast out into a dark corner. We will return and recommend to anyone visiting the area.
