Came here with some friends for lunch. All of us ordered the fish and chips. Food for 4 arrived after about 15 mins. Food well presented, chips and batter was crispy and fish was ok. Salad was also good. Only downside was the huge price at about $18 a plate, and the hoki fish used wasn't particularly special. Would be better off just getting fish and chips from takeaways next time.
