Lunch

My favourite place for lunch with friends. Have never had any reason to complain in all the years I have eaten there. Friendly staff convivial atmosphere. The food is really good and one of the offers at moment is 2 fish and chips for 1 on a Tuesday and the fish is so fresh, but they have such a comprehensive menu with lots of options, one of the reasons my friends and I go regularly. Donald and Linda are brilliant hosts .

Family Lunch

A very enjoyable lunch with family. Food was first class as always Friendly staff and service was first class. . My brother comes out from Edinburgh and always has the fish and he says it is by far the best fish he has ever tasted it is so fresh and he knows a thing or two about fish . I love the butterflied chicken with spices. All in all a great meal.

Enjoyable Lunch

Most enjoyable lunch, really good deal on a Tuesday, Fish and chips, 2 for 1. The fish is so fresh and delicious, add a round of bread and butter and a pot of tea yummy. My friend and I have mobility issues and the owner Donald is so helpful, today when we arrived on mobility bus he came out to meet us and assisted us to enter premises. Lovely staff really friendly , it is a family run establishment . I highly recommend a visit.
