The food is absolutely delicious, good portions, the service is excellent, with very friendly, charming staff, where nothing is too much trouble, with the added bonus of the harbour side view, I highly recommended this place.

The food was vile, the service terrible, the manners off the staff appalling and if you look at the accommodation above you would never eat there again. Needs condeming.

Very long wait for a portion of chips and it wasn’t busy at all. Not great customer service from the very young boys serving- just seemed inexperienced. Chips were average and I also got given a whole potato!Overall, the place just seemed a bit rundown and not a very inviting atmosohere.

Gross place, only gave them the 1 star because I had to for the review. Waiting times atrocious and the service diabolical. Rude staff, particularly the lady in charge. Won't return again and wouldn't recommend

Wait was well over half an hour, wasn't even busy. People that ordered before me had an even longer wait and in end demanded half their money back as only took half their order. Food finally came out cold, the lad behind the counter didn't have a scooby about what he was doing. Worse place I've ever eaten. No toilets available had to use public toilets across the road opposite and be charged 30p to use, resturants/cars serving sit down food at tables should have customer toilets this was not good enough. Avoid this place really not worth the money or the hassle.

Went here in a party of 4. 2 got their food and 2 were left waiting for 40 minutes before asking for their money back - Of the 2 that ate, 1 became ill the next day.Avoid at all costs.

Health and Hygiene should look into this place.... It's full of dirty unused fridges etc, the whole place needs infumigating. Filthy floors tables and chairs, glass cabinet displays covered in dust. Every thing about it is dirty The staff looked as dirty as the cafe. The toilet Oh my god... How can people who sell food be this gross and get away with it. Keep well away!!PS. I see the owner, who can't spell has told me the cafe now has 4 stars.... As we visited a couple of years ago why has it taken all this time to reply. Your scoring is low, your cafe was dirty, your toilets were disgusting. If the council has supposedly given you 4 stars, let's hope there the ones to eat in your hovel.... Everyone else... Keep away
Not even worth 1 out of 5 waited 20 minutes for chips tea and curry sauce take away. Tea arrived, still no food. One person waiting in front of me. When I saw his food arrive I wished I hadn't ordered! They then realised they hadn't cooked enough chips so put half a box in the warmer and more in the fryer......which they kept saying wasnt working. I asked for a refund and got a torrent of abuse from an old guy who told me to f@@@ off home!!! one of the young lads serving repeated this. Said I would leave a trip advisor review, they said they weren't on trip advisor! Avoid at all costs!!! Don't deserve to be in business!!!

Waited 15 mins for fish cake and savaloy.. Was something from scene from faulty towers, no idea what they were doing or who ordered what. After taste from the fishcake with way over used cooking oil will probably last til end of summer now. ?
