Most Disliked
During peak hours, particularly Tuesday afternoons, the shop can experience long wait times. While the freshly cooked meals are worth it, some may find the wait challenging, especially on a busy day. A few patrons mention that during rush hours the noise level can increase, which might detract from the casual dining experience. Although overall pricing is considered decent, some customers believe that the vegan options could be a bit more affordable. Finally, while the majority of reviews are positive regarding service, a handful of visitors express occasional dissatisfaction with slow delivery times, especially during busy periods.

This place has been going for 37 years. Family run; great food; decent prices. The owner is always a pleasure to chat to. Vegan & GF options. Absolutely a business worth supporting, and food worth eating. Top tip: google "portraits from a fish shop", and there's an article about the owner. He's also a photographer, and a good one!
