They offer pensioner half portions as well as kids meals, a veggy burger and all the usual extras if required, beans, peas, pickles etc Always delicious and freshly cooked with breaded haddock being my mum's choice rather than battered. The veggy burger comes in a toasted bun so can be a bit dry, ask them to butter it tho and it's perfect. Music is now supplied thanks to a radio or mini cd player ;) The girls serving are always cheerful and polite too which always helps!

There is a nice variety of seafood on offer on the menu but the better choice is to select your fish from tonight's specials on the wall. That's what we did and we were very satisfied. The wine menu is limited. We chose a Pouilly Fuse that was unfortunately not drinkable. The staff were kind enough to take it back. I then chose the IPA that was much better. The appetizer recommended by our server was the mussels. These were best mussels I've ever enjoyed. It was served with a sauce made with garlic, butter, milk, and onion. It's good enough to be a soup! Our sides included brocholini and halumi. Both were excellent. The brocholini was flavorful and crunchy with a nice sauce-though know that the sauce has ham in it. The cheese, lightly fried is served with a spicy sauce that I really enjoyed, bit was too much for my wife. It was superb. We selected the monkfish and sea bass for our mains. Both were excellent, moist and flavorful fish-generous portions of each. This was an extremely satisfying and enjoyable meal. It was I've of our best in Scotland. We were frankly unable to eat more and we didn't have dessert.

So I went back the next day by myself, I did rsvp for 1 for 3pm, which was't necessary. After looking at the menu, went with: - Haddock & Chips with mushy peas. One thing I do like about this place was that, they offer different fish options, but no cod, thus I went with haddock. They do better job with frying their fish. The fish and the batter did not fall apart. The mushy peas was not my cup of joe :) When you walk in, to your right is the kitchen, where you can order for take out, walk towards the left to go to the dining room. The service was mediocre, thus only three stars. The wait staff rarely stopped by to check on you or refill your water, you had to hunt them down to get more water.

Service pretty sad at least from the young lady we had, seemed to forget us and disappeared at the end altogether (I think) to have her own dinner. As to food, I rather enjoyed the dough balls we had as appetizer and the fish and chips were decent. My wife thought her "katsu" - breaded chicken on a bao bun would have been better if the chicken was not breaded to give more taste. The salted caramel cake we had for dessert was, however, delicious. So a decent meal but - as my school reports used to say - could do better!

The place has very limited seating inside, they have a large picnic table and few tables out by the street, but the place does get busy. Most of the folks coming here were getting their orders to go. WARNING, they only have one register, you order first and if you are dining in, they will bring you the food. What the cashier won't ask you, is if you need tartar sauce, etc, it's assumed you know how to order. On top of that, the young lady working the registered looked beyond flustered and overwhelmed working. We waited about 5 minutes before we ordered (everything is a la carte, so if you forget to order something, you need to get back in line and order them). We got the following: - Battered Haddock with chips special (comes with a drink) x 2 - Calamari - Onion Rings - Chicken tender salad We got our food, then realized we had to order the tartar sauce, etc. So go back in line, by this time I had to wait 10 minutes to get: - Tartar sauce x 3 - Ketchup (yes they charge you for ketchup) - side order of curry The haddock - first time experiencing fish & chips in Scotland, I walked away from here very disappointed. The fish is NOT seasoned, very bland and the batter fell off the fish. It seemed like there was no binding agent between the fish and the wet batter. The onion ring was too greasy and calamari was decent. The saving grace was the gravy, definitely get the gravy to dip your chips in. Why two stars? - staffing - the cashier could have asked if this was our first time or not... and if it was, then explain that everything is a la carte. Don't assume that folks coming here knows how to order and force them to get back in line to get the condiments. tables - tables with eaten plates everywhere. It seems they foregone the cleaning the tables to take orders and get the lines moving. I think we would walked away with a lot better experience if things were explained to us.
