You will not stumble across this place but it is well worth a specific trip as I made from a local campsite. It was busy on a Saturday night (as a good place should be!) so there was a little wait, but it was worth it for one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had - the chips were hands down THE BEST. Lovely service from the ladies behind the counter and I thought it was also very good value.

Proper old-fashioned fish and chips done right! This place is a gem – no frills, just great food and friendly service. The cod was perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky inside – clearly fresh and fried to order. The chips were spot on too – golden, fluffy, and full of flavour, not greasy like you get in some places. Portion sizes are generous, and for the price, you won’t find better value around here. Feels like a proper traditional chippy – the kind you don’t see much anymore. Highly recommended if you want classic British fish and chips done properly! If you're local you'll probably already know or simply holidaying down here you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.
