This The fish and chip shop has got some very fresh options that you can. You can choose and get fried up on the spot. They’re very helpful and very kind. We also bought food at the bar next door with drinks and they came to deliver the food to our table, which was a really kind gesture from their part. I think that this is a very good stop for the family for a bite to eat or for a lunch!

Best fish we’ve had since landing in Australia. The Snapper was fantastic, fresh and flaky. Side of salt and pepper squid was equally good. Would give The Cowshed in Banchory a run for its money….????????????????????????

Really pleasant lunch here the other day. Calamari & chips / battered fish and chips. The fish was fresh and super tasty. The calamari was decent. Chip portions are generous and the prices are really low. Few options for pints on draught and cans too. Service was good, quick and friendly staff. Salt and vinegar is a bonus!
