This place has a lovely interior and exterior decor, has plenty of seating, outdoor seating in the front and at the back and a great menu. There is a good choice of drinks including some ales.

I started with a half pint of Folly Road lager (recommended by the server), which was refreshing, light, and super easy to sip. Then came the fish & chips, and honestly it was one of the best I've had anywhere. The portions were wildly generous, and the fish was perfectly golden-fried with crispness that creates a loud crunch as you bite into it. The plump fish was tender, flaky and moist. The dish comes with mushy peas too. I appreciated that they set you up with salt, pepper, and malt vinegar so you can season everything to your taste, and you can request tartar sauce that's light, creamy, and great for dipping. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole visit feel warm and effortless.

While planning our vacation, I added this spot as a must-see location and I'm glad I did. There's very little seating in this place, so if you get there while it's busy, you might not find a place to sit. We were early (4:30P) and had no issues. Kitchen doesn't open until 5:30P, so we just enjoyed beer until then. When we were able to order we split the steak & ale pie. Really, really good and huge portion. Thanks to reviews we knew that the portion sizes were huge - so splitting was already something we wanted to do. Service was really good / quick. The ladies that work there are amazing. Seems to be a good mix of locals and tourists. Highly recommend.
