I like the food on site but find it too greasy for takeout. A few times I felt that they must have been using Lard in the fryers instead of oil as it arrived greasy, other times no such problem. The Clams were very good. The fish is better elsewhere. More

Good value, excellent service and food. The fish & chips was really good (not greasy or heavy) and I had the beef and barley soup 2 nights in a row! More
