The food on offer is more than your average too, aside from the usual chips, sausages and burgers; they do pizza, and healthier options such as salad bowls and wraps. My usual order is their chicken burger - huge burger with a proper breast of chicken, none of this processed malarkey, with a massive floury bap and lots of salad...Delicious...Perfect choice for those nights when you simply couldn't be bothered to cook. They have a ticketing system to use while waiting for your order, which makes things a lot easier, and service is very quick and efficient. Once when we were there, they gave us a free litre bottle of Coke with our order because they felt that we had waited too long (not that we noticed!)

I'd read some glowing reviews of this fish & chip shop so I kept it in mind. I don't eat this food…read morevery often now but I did eat a lot of it in my early teens, but that's a whole other story. So pulled up into the car park, two degrees outside and 'are we human or are we dancer' coming out of the radio as I turned off the engine. First duty was into a nearby supermarket for a soft white bread pan. When it's fish n chips it has to be tea, bread and lots of butter. A good sprinkling of salt on the fish n chips too. Carbs, animal fats and hardly a healthy calorie in sight. So into the chip shop to a friendly welcome from a man, certainly didn't look like Paula but it's a funny old world so I thought better than to ask. Two fish and chips please (or as we used to say: two fish suppers) £11.60 was required. I checked it was cod and he almost seemed taken aback at my question - he said, 'of course'. I waited a bit pleased that the food was being cooked to order. The portions of cod were huge, with fresh, white chunky and skinless meat. If you aren't sure how fresh cod tastes try it here as it's very fresh. I thought each chip portion was a tad mean but once home and in the plate it was generous enough. The food is cooked in beef dripping. There is no substitute good enough, groundnut, peanut, rapeseed, olive, corn oils none come close. The batter was towards thin and I like that, and to be fair the food sat in a take out bag until I got home and put out the plates and do on. Despite this the food was excellent, perfectly good food and still quite warm. A chip buttie was a must. Now I've eaten some of the finest foods on earth but I gotta tell ya the taste of a white soft pan bread chip buttie with a bit of salt and a generous slap of butter is wonderful made all the better with hot tea. The glowing reviews are right, it's a great place. The next time I want very good fish & chips I know where to go. Maybe next time I'll sit in and have it at its very best. Who knows now that oil prices have fallen the prices here should drop too.

Wow! What a delight!!! When in Ireland, traditional fish and chips is a must!…read more On New Years Eve, I made a spontaneous decision to choose fish and chips over my Jenny Craig lentil dish. Im sure no one can blame me. When you walk into this little restaurant, you are walking up to a counter and ordering your dinner. They have 14 varieties of chips, priced from £2.20 (small chips)up to £4.60 (taco chips with bolognese and cheese). There are four varieties of fish (i got the fresh battered haddock at £3.60) and fries and gravy for £3.40). The fish and chips were delicious. The gravy was bland (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). The serving was extremely generous. This isnt the best fish and chips I ever had, but I would put it easily in the top 3.

Spinnaker's was friendly, cozy, chilled out and exactly what I like in a wee pub/restaurant. Decked out in maritime regalia, from miniature ships to bunting made of buoys at the entrance, it's everything you would want in a seaside tavern. The staff were really friendly, the food was reasonably priced and very tasty - crumbly fish and fat chips were the perfect end to a busy day! It's not as flashy and in your face as some of the other diners in town, but it should not be overlooked. Spinakker's offers good service and lovely, affordable food without frills and fuss, but certainly with character. With a good family vibe and warm atmosphere, it's a restaurant for all weathers, and shouldn't be cast over - it's a bit more of a secret, but it's got substance.
